I just don't see an activity that is driven by one player for their own benefit while the third party involved does nothing and their identity is inconsequential is "prearrangement" -- I consider "prearrangement" to mean "conspiracy"; two people have to agree to a plan of action and take steps to further that action
Yeah I'll concede that it's not "pre-arranged" in the exact wording of the rule.
Likewise, for the same reason, I just don't see an activity that is driven by one player for their own benefit while the third party involved does nothing and their identity is inconsequential achieves an "organized outcome"
The non-competitiveness of going into a duel to lose it on purpose, with the intention of lowering your duelling level to circumvent a game mechanic, is the outcome that you have organised, albeit without the consent of the other party.
Don't get me wrong, duelling is fecked up and this is the only way to viably have people to duel against - it's still at odds with the spirit of duelling, in my opinion.
I don't see how losing the _standard amount_ of duel experience is in any way "inordinate"
Again, I don't have a problem with people losing duels or duelling exp, I take issue with losing on purpose, to enable a player to excessively farm non-duellers at level 150. Besides, it's not what you lose that's inordinate, it's the gains of this exploit that are excessive.
Everyone seemed to have looked at the new achievements and immediately thought of ways to exploit the game to achieve them - because that's the ONLY way to achieve some of them. How's that for a sense of pride and accomplishment.
Honestly I know this is a non-issue relative to the overall health of the game - this losing on purpose business is just a pet-peeve of mine - it's disrespectful to the pioneers of the art of duelling and a mockery of our once great game.
Loosely related thought to stop my moaning on this issue, would it be legal, in your opinion, to systematically and non-consensually lose against a player who is using the exploit in order to push their duelling level up and out of the 150 range? When does inordinate become inordinate?
