So, I see this is a trend in EU servers right now. 

They come on the spot, lose the duel and the next thing is griefing and karma bombing. ( or they don't even ask for a duel )

Our karma is enough for 4-5 kills or less if he takes down a few pieces of armor. 

We need a fix against people like this since this has become a daily routine for them. 

Guildless + Ghillie outfit and they grind like I was never there. 

I know is not the same thing in KR but EU players are toxic to the moon and beyond.

We need a punishment system for players like this.

It's a little bit sad, I grinded 3 years to get where I am only to be pushed out from the spot by a random kid on a lvl 60 with 250 AP.

There is a tool against griefers called "mob feeding": you CC the griefer until mobs kills them so that they experience XP loss and cristals breakage.

 

This most often makes them lose any will to grief you anymore.

Fortunately not; many spot are continuously taken by high-AP players; depriving casual gamers to have their daily hour of grinding.

However, degressive loot for every 30 minutes in a same spot is a perfect counterproposal in order to ensure a turnover. :)

That works both ways you know, some1 shows up higher gear, kills the person that was there, if they can't out gear that is the only way they can defend, then the other person can try to mob feed. I think that was pearls only solution without reworking the whole system.

You could just not kill them and move onto other mobs in the area as has to be done on Seasons servers.

 

There are limited resources and everyone wants a piece.  People are going to fight back however they can to get it.  Most other players are not going to be convinced you're entitled to that public spot, and they couldn't care less about your grinding efficiency.

Right now exist another way implemented since the beginning of the game... 
Join the other side and grind in group, you two can expands to a bigger area.

Its a Trend mainly due to the newer players coming from season servers(Also older returning players), a majority of them find out too late after they leave the protection of a PVE only server what things are really like in general servers. They pick up some really bad habits becouse they are used to over grinded spots were there are 5 people per small rotation killing what ever they see. They dont care if you were there 1st or running a loot scroll if they cant beat you with there season gear then they will harrass you until you leave it is the only way they can win.. I been seeing it a lot at stars end and thornwood lately, i was actually surprised at how frequent it has become i would go months without seeing anyone in some area's to seeing a non stop stream of clowns that think they own the place with there Pen capotia and PEN tavula gear LOL.

Feed em to Mobs if you can, if they are guilded get decs out if you cant do that then time to swap or got arsha to grind. Karma bombers are a complete pain and not much you can do to stop them.

Honestly I hope they never address the karama bombing issue cause I don't see an issue here. 4 years ago you could never find a rotation any were you went because you'd always run into some who would flag up on you can kill you over and over and over again or at-least try. Sure it encouraged PVP but made actually grind a chore sometimes I just want watch a lets play on one screen and grind and make gains not have to PVP someone for 5 hours striaght over a grind rotation. 

 

On top of that issue because it basically cost nothing to kill people some players would just run around in small groups of 5 people for hours just KOSing people that couldn't fight back for hours on end which also made finding a rotation a headache. These rules may be strict and punishing, but with how people are complete Aholes in this game there needed otherwise it just be 24/7 griefing (like how it was) to no end and no one would be able to grind.

 

Even the naval karma system while yes it extremely punishing is sadly needed because people would literally just grief players trying to AFK bartar non stop to no end making the idea of afk bartaring pointless because at any second some griefer will come along and blow up your boat carrying 200m worth of silver on it which results in lossing 200m silver.

 

So really if you want too complain about the karma system well go yell at the Aholes years ago that explioted it so they could grief others 24/7. Seriously the griefing got so bad that the game almost died because of it no one was playing because no one would grind longer than 2 seconds without someone flagging up on them and trying to kill them. PVP is fun but not when it just pointless griefing that literally never ends.

Dueling for spot (DFS) causes the problem. This DFS etiquette was made to serve best geared players. They think they are entitled to get any spot when ever they want to, and DFS makes it possible. This etiquette doesn't allow new players to grind and get gear because they are being killed 24/7. I hated this etiquette from the beginning and still do, even I am no longer badly geared. 

 

Then they blame us for griefing when we don't want to duel and they consciously flag up and choose themselves to kill us. I'd say they are the griefers! We want to grind in peace,  not PvP.

 

Go arsha or RBF or something if you want to duel. 

 

Most of the time you will find free spot if you swap channels and look for a bit. 

 

Rise in arms brothers and sisters! Do not DFS if you don't want to!
