Although I personally don't support grey ganking, my theory is that this being a repeated occurrence is the result of the lack of small and solo action on the server. Those 50s pretty much have nothing better to do than to go kill expers.
Maybe try asking some of your bored 50 realm mates to come to DF and kill them for you? Not sure what realm you're in, but I'm often pretty bored during certain hours and will make trips to some pretty far off places in hopes of finding that 1 person I saw spam from.

The /laugh was probably going a bit too far to be fair

give me 1 good reason but beeing a feck!? and ruin the low pop really i mean you rather be lvl 50 alone on server or let greys live abit and just kill 1-2 to make attention? btw this aint live server pop and patch! but breaking all progress for all by beeing 2-4 lvl 50 farming grey all the time will make you lonely

The answer is kill-spam ... and titles are tied to solo kills too, right? Grey's count towards those (I had a ton of solo kills on my Friar in DF when I played here so I know the greys counted towards the titles).

I get your point, though, that leveling here is hard enough now WITHOUT a preset powerleveling service or Guild group to fall back on. Still, you should expect it to happen the second you step foot into the RVR enabled areas as that's what this game has always allowed to happen.

There´s a bright side to all of this.

It´s on January anymore, so not every spot is camped 24/7 ;D

Some ppl have skill, and others have only skill to gank greys, waiting in stealth til the grey is in fight with a mob.

If you talk to them you may get * Oh, on server X in Year Y i was king of the hill, was killing xx ppl. Yeah sure, all under their own level and always if they were in fight.

It´s just a sick mind, not more, not less.

There is simply no reason gank greys.. I always dislike such behaviour, although I've to say this was never a big deal on Uth 1,because there wasn't such a badass mentality like nowdays and no RP for greys.
For many people 1rp/kill is reason enough to forget any kind of respect and humanity vs other players although they should know how it feels to get ganked.
No idea this may change anytime soon, but acceptance and respect does not come over night, it is growing slowly by interacting and understanding friend and enemy,- like it was on Uth 1 the case.
Unfortunately, after 15 years this most important aspect has become more and more insignificant due short-term thinking and ego pushing.
That would not be so sad if interacting and the community thing was not always one of the biggest strengths of daoc.

That must be a really low (or short) ego if you have to push it with 1 rp

That is so true.

If I had to chart my progression and enjoyment of the game over the last few months, the peaks would definitely match with the people I met. The ones you tag along, get to know, share stories and conversations late at night. The ones you end up calling friends (or foes) even though it's through swords and spells.

DAoC sense of progression is tightly related to the social connections you make through the game. Especially on a single shard that keeps the heart beating after almost two decades.

But you have usually no social connections to the other 2 realms.

Nevermind, ganking greys (DF, Frontiers) is like killing lvl 5 ants in the Vale of Mularn at lvl 50.
So much for gameplay that those players call *Skill*. Even a trained ape could do that.

Im sry to ask really but! why have 4 chars just to gank grey ppl ?

and i mean running up to stairs killing all logging the again log and kill all grey feeling stong before logging?

grey killing is the best way to call for ennemies.

everytime they see a 50 the log and come bk 30-45mins later or just avoid attacking until the 50 is gone

Its the same since release. The problem is killing greys doesnt bring out enemy because no one cares. All realms have the idiots who just suck at the game and cant do anything except kill Xpers. There is a reason you only see I AM A TERRIBLE HUMAN BEING AND CANNOT MAKE THREE SENTENCES WITHOUT RESORTING TO PERSONAL INSULTS like skullbone and tinh with spam in XP areas.

Thats kind of funny, as you the editor could not even make one sentence without doing the same. Funny you will try and shame someone, by only doing the exact same thing in return.

if you think a post is an insult, delete it. editing the post is childish behaviour.
