PK in TradeTables
 
People seem to have a new hobby:

Getting some Cyclops and Demons into Tables,
to lame idling people and take their drops.

Please stop this and prevent this codewise x-x

Agreed

Whats the problem with idling?
If everyone on gk stops idling you can nearly close the server down.

Sky 02-13-2008 09:18 PM

Shouldn't this be in the GK section?

People shouldn't idle in the trade room, idle in your house or something if your going to idle.

Well, an idle player is the same, contribution-wise, as a player that's not there. They just make the player-count look higher. I doubt they'd ever close GK down even if it was in shambles and with no players because then they'd only have Zone left for gold. As I remember, G2k1 was on gold for a long time after it died.

Oh, and I don't think anyone is saying there is anything wrong with idling... except the fact that you're taking a risk when you do it.

Darklux 02-13-2008 10:03 PM

Ah I mustve hit the wrong forum, it was actually ment for gk forums.

In some ways they're worse.
For one, they throw off the playercount. If a bunch of people are online idling, staff can say "well, we have this many players, so GK can't be that bad," but if the idlers would stop idling and we have 0 players on for a good portion of the day, they have to admit "no one is playing GK..."

Or if the staff has somewhat of a brain (which they do, believe it or not), then they would actually look at the players that are on, and not just look at the player list and mark GKs reputation down i the books. Its obvious whenever someone is idling, they are in the same room for a long time and/or have (Ctrl + A ) on.

I fail to believe that Stefan or Bjorn do such a thorough investigation to see how many people are playing GK.

And it seems they're the only 2 (give or take) with power to fix GK.

Perhaps they should, instead, allow PKing in the trade tables then?

Competence is a whole different story.

I fail to believe they lack the competence to "hire" (just regular GK staff...i'm not getting into the topic of paid-jobs) people to fix things.

The only next thing I can see in this is trust. Which I would relate more to choice.

And if they're choosing to make poor decisions, then there's not much else to it.

They need a "Save GK Project" really...

'HELLO
THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE (NOT REALLY LOL) FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS AND IT'S NOT GETTING FIXED ANY TIME SOON.

YOU SHOULD DO LIKE THE REST OF GK AND ADAPT.

IE GET A HOUSE OF YOUR OWN AND IDLE THERE. OR SIMPLY IDLE IN ANY OTHER PLACE THAN THE TRADE, WHICH SEEMS TO BE THE PRIMARY TARGET OF IDLE-LAMERS.

THANK YOU, GOOD BYE.

Chris 02-17-2008 07:28 PM

I would hate to see how you guys would react if cauldron bombing was added back. The trade tables would never be safe then.

Felix_Xenophobe 02-18-2008 12:24 AM

Bring back cauldron bombs.

THE CAPS BUTTON IS FUN HUH.

Seriously though...I don't get people that play the game to idle. It's not really that great of a time. The GP Chief on UN makes his day off of idling all day and never moving his character off of a ceartin spot in a ceartin level. He's broken like 8k hours though, every 1k there's some huge ass party though, so I guess that's...something.
