Just because someone says and thinks the game is for dueling or fort fighting or farming or any other west activity doesn’t mean that is how the game needs to be played. Each player can decide on how they wish to play it within the boundaries of the general rules of course.
exactly! but you also need to accept the negative sides of your choice. that's what it's about. in a hostile environment with PvP game elements, you cannot be a corn picker and complain that someone else is a dueler who "harasses" you. I mean, this is the plot of almost every western movie, and this is a RPG. if you choose to be a peaceful farmer, don't complain that someone else picked to be a bandit.
Griefing is always the abuse of a system in a game so it doesnt matter that it is part of the game and your point is idiotic because you keep treating it as if we are talking about every duel.
and dont think I didnt notice you STILL ignored my point just to repeat more of the same nonsense.
and where exactly is the abuse? you're playing the weak peaceful farmer in this RPG, I play the bandit. you're losing duels? your choice. the game promotes dueling, game designers made it so that you have to duel to be protected from duels or face other negative consequences like being townless if you want to be protected.
and I am not talking about every duel. I am talking specifically about a player in work or luck gear with low DL, not skilled for duels, and a player with dueling gear and dueling skills who is attacking that first player 5 times every day, using a low damage weapon to avoid a KO but still getting XP, cash and boosting their stats. the poor farmer can't be immersed in their gameplay in The West? seriously? in a game designed to reward you for dueling, where they ask you to duel in quests?
where they have removed duel protection from job KOs? where they gave you options - like duel KO or going townless if you don't want to participate in this PvP part of the game? you only want the good stuff? nope. you cannot be good at everything, and you cannot only get the rewards. accept the good
and the bad. this is the wild west. you have the weapon slot in your equipment for a reason.
It also conveniently ignores that the most popular anti-dueling method was added exactly to prevent abuse
you're conveniently ignoring the fact "that the most popular anti-dueling method" was
removed. job KOs? ring any bells? now, why would they do this if they want to give you an easy way out of dueling? hmmmm...
