  I'm not saying I don't know how ridiculous people will be over a finish.... but newer players and ones who don't field boss much will not know.

  
  
  These aren't affected at all 'cause it only affects people that get enough finishes to be called competition... Now they might know if they read this and its a reason to quit this game 'cause people do that crap :S Them not knowing is better than them knowing about it 'cause if they don't become competition they'll never find out anyway

  I'm pretty sure there people out there who can get the finish on a field boss who don't field boss. ._.

  It doesn't matter how many finishes they get, it matters if they even try to finish it once so they know how to avoid those people from killing their pets behind their back

  Sure they can but getting 1 or 2 finishes doesn't make you any competition for people that get 10+ a week

  I doubt they'll even try to kill a guy that never got a finish before and is using normal weapons :S Maybe they'll try if you have high cp and use daggers but that also doesn't affect newer players.

  How does the bolded text correspond with the underlined :what:

  
  
  He replied with "Unfair advantages =/= advantages," when I had said nothing in the past about whether or not unfair advantages are the same thing. I then went on to say that they are indeed exactly the same.

  Being too lazy to PM you is different then being too lazy to ignore your fail 99% figure and its exaggeration. You are still basing your argument around the fact that alot of people know about this, when in fact they don't. Those who have played since beta will know, those who go raid field bosses know, those who only started going to DD cause of this event wont know. And the majority of nation didn't know, and Nation is pretty big, and if we look at their friends wouldn't they be likely to tell them this? So that means even less people know about it.
  
  Way to be an ass over something so fickle.

  
  
  Think about it for a sec. Just think. Use your brain, no matter how small it may be.
  
  It's obvious that someone will try their hardest to get the best rewards. It's obvious that someone will try to sabotage others.
  
  How can you not know that? It's not just in this game, it's in the real world. If you don't know that people behave this way, then you spend way too much time in your basement and/or have the IQ of a small stone.
  
  You're basing your argument on my percentages. You don't know what exaggeration is, do you?

  A lot of people DO know what people do, DEFINITELY the majority. Just because some people on Nation don't know about it doesn't mean other people don't as well. Nation HARDLY represents the game as a whole.
  
  You think I'm an ass? Get over it. :)

  Yeah, if they aren't trying to get 10+ finishes a week.

  -.- I'm trying to say that if you usually don't get any finishes and if you got maybe 1 or 2 this still won't affect you... A lot of people come for giant field bosses if you're on of those ppl doing "unfair" stuff to get the finish you'll try to sabotage players that often get finishes(Your competition) and not people that just come for drops or never/rarely get a finish

  I have to respectfully disagree with that. Unless these people somehow find a yeti or other uncommon field boss and manage to stay there for about 5 minutes without any other person hitting, they will not win over people who regularly field boss, because there are certain strategies (read:ways not to die) while bossing. :x And I know that at least in rory, most field bosses are tightly tracked by a small number of individuals.

  You took that wrong. I meant that some high level players might not do Field Bosses at all, not just hit once or so and relax. I know I don't.

  You keep saying that other people don't know about it. You apparently do. So what? I suggest you go back and read my posts and your posts again.

  It's obvious people will use dirty methods. That does not mean it's okay or that we should just shrug them off. It's also a baseless claim that all/most people will do whatever they can to get what they want.

  You keep saying the majority knows about what is done to get the finish. I'm well aware of the situation. I'm doubting that the majority of players know. Go back and read my posts instead of selectively reading k?

  Could I just use other pets when fighting then quickly mount a flying one so they won't get the chance :what:
  
  As in, is there an incredible amount of lag at a field boss o:
