the 45 minute rule is the best, now them cowards that only duel and sleep can now be hit
its called the MASHDK rule lol
No change should penalize everyone for the actions of a few.
To put this is prospective the crackers/npc exp dueling was being abused. So the npc experience was drastically reduced to the detriment of everyone who was not abusing it thus penalizing them.
IMO this was not the right approach.
Now I am in no way defending those duelers who do hit and sleep. A player who is dueled should be able to hit back. And since towns are communities players from his town should also be able to fire back.
The present
duel back system accomplishes that.
However there is no logical reason why the person who initiated the original duel should be a dueling target for everyone in the game during the 45 minute duel back period. If he did not duel their town member or community then he should still show as asleep and not attackable by them.
What this does accomplish is penalize every dueler out there who is not a hit and sleeper.
I also understand that many out there who are not duelers and who have been the target of duelers have the attitude of "I am a worker, adventurer, etc, and I could care less what happens to duelers, they all have it coming".
IMO opinion while this attitude is justified to a degree they should also be concerned about how the next change might effect/penalize them for the actions of a few.
Changes in the game that penalize all players of a class for the actions of a few are not in the best interest of the game, nor it is it fair to the players who are penalized for the actions of others.
And none of us know what that next change/penalty could be, but it should concern us all as players.
For example will daily log in bonus's be next ?
