| Well said yuukei.
Little Ninja, observing level is the most horrid way to judge someone's knowledge. Especially if they are an observer like I am. I know for a fact that you don't know I've actually watched event like you described in the Amemet and King Behemoth.
I've been to many of these zone since lv. 50. I've blown over 200k in powder prysms and silent oils, just to reach those zones and see what it's like. I've even saw a BST hunting Amemet and minutes later the area getting flooded with monsters, I think I actually died on that one.
I observe how everything goes high level areas and low. The way people hunt and interact with monsters like Hoo Mjuu the Torrent is exactly what you'll see happen with Amemet. No player is willing anymore to heal or assist from the side a player that's gotten claim on a NM, the HNMs unfortunatly in refference to how they use to be for a scale of measure I only have what there is to be read.
By the time I was able to really seen an HNM fight it seemed to match very well with the trouble and problems I've seen described as of late. That method I came up I did it with my own time availablity in mind, I as well would not want to have to be in a zone manning it every time every day. Which is why what I had put required so many people and yet still the requirement is low enough that it's under 50% of the size of every server's population I've heard of.
Even further the amount of players it would take to just man an area to prevent what would be considered bad actions at any given point of time would be (going with manning 10 areas again) 60 people. In a server were you can have 3000 people at any given time that means you are only having 2% of players actually active to pevent bad actions from happening.
On my worst week I spend a total of only 18hrs, 2 hrs weekdays and 4hrs weekends. So spending only 1.5 hrs a week is only 8% of my time, that to me seems very meager almost nothing. Of course this is still all only preliminary work because of player unwilling to even give it a chance, aka closeminded. It definatly isn't planned to a point that will be an absolute solution and would need adjustment, but what adjustments is impossible to say without being able to properly apply the idea.
I am aware that if a player was present manning the area that for things like HNMs it may be met with some aggression simply because the state of how everythings gotten the group hunting the HNM would think that the person's trying to steal the HNM from them. That's how badly paranoid it's gotten that an act of good faith could be misconstrued as an attack.
Just an FYI if someone is going to call someone closeminded or openminded again, here's definitions of both so we are clear on it:
close-mind·ed adj.
Intolerant of the beliefs and opinions of others; stubbornly unreceptive to new ideas.
o·pen-mind·ed adj.
Having or showing receptiveness to new and different ideas or the opinions of others. See Synonyms at broad-minded.
broad-mind·ed adj.
Having or characterized by tolerant or liberal views.
Now I don't think close-minded fits me. Since I am offering a new idea. Close-minded is someone taking the idea and instead of really trying to work with it and find how to adapt it to work better they immediatly disapprove it. Now close-minded does fit a particular person here but it sure is not me. |
