General Rule, Player Base Question, Participation Requested

[zumwalt]

With the advent of patch 2 part 2:

I am sending out a call to all races, and asking upon there good will, so agree to this ledger of neutrality, that herin and henceforth, all harvestors in PvP zones be considered non-aggressive and therefore neutral to PvP involvement.

Thus, every harvestor is considered 'Holy Ground', as in such similar to 'The Highlander' movie.

If you see a player that is harvesting or prospecting, without aggressive equipment, they player is considered neutral and not a threat and left alone.

Harvestors will be allowed the freedom of movement without threat of anihilation from fellow players.

Understand that during the time that a harvestor is moving from portal to harvest spot if they are un-escorted and wielding weapons, they can be considered a threat until such time as they begin there harvesting.

This is do to the fact that the PvP players will be unable to determine there status based on there appearances.

Every player that can enter these PvP area's knows what a harvestor looks like, when they are both prospecting and harvesting.

I am hereby calling on all to abide by these principals.
It is up to you to decide if this is reasonable and feasable.

Sincerely

I'd like to add that when homins are going through areas of the Prime Roots, all Kitin should consider them "holy ground". They shouldn't be considered a threat and left alone.

Sorry but I find your request the equivilent of a free ride. According to the notes there is better stuff in the Lands of Unbra now. They have made changes to the deposits in the Lands of Umbra based upon the fact that PvP does exist there. If you want mats from the PR, you can go to one of the other PR areas.

To put it simply, if you enter the Lands of Umbra or the Nexus you should be prepared to deal with people wanting to kill you. If you don't want to deal with that, don't go there.

*And no, I am not going to be one of the ones killing people. I hate PvP and simply won't enter those areas.

The Silver Watch will commit ourselves to this rule. And help enforce it if necessary.

I'm setting up a group solely to kill harvesters. They rape our land they deserve to die!!

I have to assume this means you won't be wanting any new equipment any time soon...

I am not guilded, but I will agree to the pact. I will NOT attack ANY harvester...anywhere.

To me attacking an unarmed person is "dirty pool".

One issue with this that I see is that certain nodes will only have X amount of material available in any given spot for a given amount of time. Now if group A comes to a spot and bides their time waiting for it to hit supreme, and harvester B comes along and tries digging it up when it's choice or excellent, this could make group A very displeased.

so ... let the bloodbath begins?

Right now, I am only "aware" of maybe 20 harvestors on the server that I know of that can even harvest the mats, and I know only of about 5 crafters that can use the mats.

I don't think this is any more of an issue right now, than a minute one.

If we were talking about a hundred harvestors who can get the q250 rare uber mats of supreme quality, then it could be a different story.

I can only harvest from around 6:30 PM EST till around Midnight, if I am lucky, and most, if not all harvestors are aware of the others around them and they are curtious.

I don't see greed as being a factor when it comes from one harvestor to another, what I do see is griefers as a factor when it comes to harvesting, as you have seen in this thread, there are a few 'now known' griefers that are looking forward to just being jerks to the harvestors.

There is a difference in battling for the spots because you can pull the mats vs killing someone because they aren't ready for a battle and there harvesting.

Off the top of my head, I can think of a few people in allied guilds who can get to, harvest, and use these new mats, while were talking on the forums.

I seriously doubt any harvestor will go to these spots solo anyway, and will have a guard for the trip, maybe the guard won't stick around, but they will atleast have escort, and knowing most of the player base in these guilds that I do know, even if that harvestor got killed, within 30 seconds to a minute, all of that guild will be rallied and they will most likely hunt down the person, and put them on an constant hunt / kill list.

What I am proposing is a fair system, a way to avoid long days of nothing but griefers, and gather protectors for a common cause.

It doesn't matter to me if you want to begrief the harvestors (although I am one of the harvestors), it will just mean I never put mats on market, and when the griefers stuff breaks, oh well, tuff crap, I don't need the cash, and you will never see any of my items on market, or any of my guilds items for that matter.

The more people can harvest, the more items that will be available, the less people can get, the more likely there going to keep the mats and items to themself.
