Shai is a special case, a shai can not Karma Bomb you in most situations, because they have no way to defend themselves for a spot, and PvPing a Shai for a spot is cowardsly for lack of a better term.  First a Shai should be able to 1v1 with Equal Gear, that was a mistake on PA's part.  When a player encounter's a Shai, other ways of solving grind spot issues should/could be found instead of DFS.  Personally when I find a Shai at a Grind spot, just knowing the crap they have to deal with, I pull all my AP accessories off, so I don't accidentally kill them, and I open with attack, I beat on them for usually 3-5 seconds before I type, OKay I yield GF I'll swap.  Those guys need a little loving, it's just not fair.

You haven't fought decent shais then.

And yet despite your claim, I have never been Negative Karma except for when I was doing the Miquin Quest line, and that was becaues of the Caravan that was required to be killed in order to start the quest and as various kill tasks.  I only did those quests because I am a completionist.

No my motive is not to "freely kill low geared players" never has never will be, my motive is to stop the exploiting of the Karma system and to protect the low geared players.  It's funny that the people that are against Karma Bombing getting fixed and claim that the people wanting that fixed only want to kill low geared players, yet at the same time will not assist in coming up with a way to protect low geared players, such as allowing said low geared players to release to actual safe zones instead of a node that is still in a combat zone.

I would say that anyone that is against Karma bombing fixes, are themselves not only Karma Bombers, but they also want to be able to continue to freely kill weaker players in non grind zones.  You Karma Bombers are despicable on both sides of the coin, and constantly want to use the Karma System as your BiS weapon.

I have, only a very few and rare times tho.  As far as "decent" shais go "good" shais, and "geared" shais are actually 2 very very different things.  Often times the "Geared" shai that actully puts up a fight would just 1 combo most players on a normal character, and the "Good" shais on a normal character would out play you but wouldn't 1 combo you most of the time.  I have a strong feeling that you are referring to Shais that "gear check" their opponent instead of "out skill" their opponent.  Shai's are not really hard to play, in fact they are one of the easiest classes to play.

Just had a random thought pop into my head about issue number 1.

Well 2 thoughts, one is old.

Such as raising the minimum PvP level from 50 to 60, by moving the PvP quest from 49 (where it was set at release) to 59.

The other option, that I just thought of, to protect those that are AFK Horse Training/Fishing and Auto Pathing between towns, add an AFK shield, by which if you haven't put in any movement keys or skills for somewhere between 3 minutes and 15 minutes you enter respawn Protected Mode, that only gets broken when you take your weapons out, or start moving.  Obviously this would need to be disabled in Node Wars, to prevent setting up sentry accounts either around their base as an early warning system or to set them up inside a Castle siege.

We don't need those changes.

And here we have just more proof that you just want to kill low geared players, and that is why you oppose fixing the broken Karma system.

You are a Karma Bomber and an AFK Ganker, confirmed.

Think what you like.  I enjoy the posturing that you care about lower geared players in order to argue for removal of the karma system, lol

Since the topic is already derailed, I decided to write an even better "solution" to all of your problems during topic discussion. Some may even call me things, but I am going to express my honest opinion. :)

DELETE ARSHA from existence.

lol.  No, then the anti so-called "karmabombing" zealots would have an excuse to whine.
