[quote="SKITTLE"]Hello, I am Skittle ingame. I noticed there were some discussions in discord regarding an incident that involved me this morning, so I thought I would pop on to provide some clarity for those that are interested. I am a relatively new player, yes. And yes I will hold my hands up to say I was afk healing in Merc whilst getting ready for work this morning at 8am. All guides and forum posts point towards healing to 100int, and I’m a perfectionist so try to follow the optimal strategy guides online for games. If healing afk is against the rules? I wasn’t aware, since I started playing just over a month ago, there has ALWAYS been people afk healing in huts 100% of the time I was online. So thought it was the norm. Also, I guarantee there isn’t a single person out there who has healed to 100int not being afk at some point, whether that be semi or full. I hunt for Str/dex during rested exp and heal in town when non rested, usually done dual screening whilst I am working during the day, so not even entirely afk. Someone mentioned K/D? I don’t care, it’s the items I am more worried about, as a new player getting gear/items is very difficult as the mobs you can hunt at your appropriate level drop gear way below your current stats. Various people have been very kind to me along the way, and most of my items were generally picked up from tyt floor. Funny story that a guild friend gave me some Eva gear last night after hunting to 111str with +0. Sadly some of these items where the items KorenaZ got from killing me 60 times, so didn’t even get to test it out. Firstly I don’t see how they were even able to kill me 60 times in a town safe zone? Nor do I see any fun in doing so? If I knew it were possible to lose all my items in town do people honestly believe I would continue to do so? Regardless of whether afk is or is not acceptable is irrelevant given almost the entire community does it at some point along their journey. This has been a very discouraging experience and to be frank the actions of a few have basically pushed me to want to stop playing sadly. I don’t care about the whole well his guild did it to our guild so we will do the same. Very childish argument. People are constantly moaning about lower and lower user count, people’s actions are clearly not helping the situation. I may return and will give it some thought after work, I love the game though some people really seem to ruin it. It’s a game after all and we are here to have fun, please all remember that.[/quote]

[quote="DETHRONE"]One of the risks of being AFK I’m afraid, however I’m sure if you speak to the guys they will return gear. If not give me a pm later will try help out[/quote]

[quote="YOSHIMIKA"]I know 3 people who have left because of being killed when healing in town. Congratulations to Starwars/KGB for killing this guy 60 times this morning and to anyone else who does it. You're actively ruining the already dwindling usercount as it is Finito put a change in place that you could only hit (and heal) someone who's grey if you are in PK mode. Meaning nobody in town will ever have to worry about this happening. This has been raised with Finito as a bug[/quote]

[quote="NITEFALL"]Coming from a guild amd alliance who openly mock the Koreanz with penis and racial slurs id be surprised if they gave you your items back, especially as im sure they have taken items from others and never returned. I exprienced this healing bull shit for ages at the hands of your alliance trying to grief pk me while healing. Killing bugs and then even healing my target. But this will happen to them and there allies in return. Unlucky bud. Hopefully you get some help from your guild again. Gd luck and hope you stay with us. [/quote]

[quote="PHARMA"]msg us ingame, we sort u out bud. some people are just dicks. who would rinse a new player. irregardless of the he said she said. its openly accepted to heal alt tabbed or afk. [/quote]

[quote="DEAMOND"]I would personally like to see this fixed by a GM, I'm not going to pretend I've never done it as i have but only to my enemies and not random new people. Everybody who has healed to 100 int has been afk at some point, so if gm's aren't going to actively enforce the rules people outweigh the benefit of gaining lots of stats whilst afk against a very slim chance of being caught and a couple of days ban (even if that) The fact you are new and to hear it has put you off is sad to hear as we should be welcoming new players to the game but there are a lot people who take the game too seriously. Personally if you are looking to play soma to not get caught up in drama and constant PK best advice is to not be in one of the "enemy" guilds to which Faint is one... I recommend Rebirth or arcanix.... Soma would be a whole lot better if people where just nicer to each other and showed common courtesy...[/quote]

[quote="MAGEY"]come join me on dsoma a lot quicker to cap every char is 'perfect' much friendlier community you can play your human alongside a devil [/quote]

[quote="TYPHIN"]just seen feed. that's really pathetic[/quote]

[quote="GENTRY"]I don't get it. Why do you want to allow players to heal, afk, to 100 int without any repercussions? There's a simple fix and it's called don't be afk. It's not hard to understand tbf. But if there is a "fix" implemented by Finito to prevent AFK chars gaining stats from being killed, just give every starting character 100 int. I don't care who did it first, that argument is shit (even though I used it before), but if GMs won't ban for afk healing, then as a community the least we can do is prevent it from happening through killing said players healing afk. No one wants to stand by whilst someone is gaining stats whilst being afk. [/quote]

[quote="SHAILO"]Agreed Gentry. Wouldn't go as far as giving all chars 100 int though, just increase rates of healing to 100 dramatically. No one wants to heal for int for weeks, especially new plays who know anything about the game.[/quote]

[quote="TIBI"][quote="SHAILO"]Make guards insta kill any char who is grey/flashing grey in town just like they would a dev moral char.[/quote] Difficulty with that is they would spawn outside of town if the guard killed them and wouldn’t be in a safe zone any longer.[/quote]
