Why would you touch a mob that somebody else is already attacking giant or not... that is rather stupid.

Giants are the same as any other mob after like level 30 as they cant kill you and they are easy to kill, so its not like you are helping them its just pure idiocy. I would never attack any mob that somebody else is already attacking unless its a PT champ or pt giant and they arent in a pt with other people.

I annoys the piss out of me when somebody attacks a mob I have already started attacking before they even see it. If you are that hungry for a couple of thousand xp then its really sad.

1. Because giants give a massive amount of exp compared to regular mobs. Their also huge and killing huge things = fun

2. Not the same, massive hp. It takes a while to kill them whereas with regular mobs it only takes 5 seconds

3. Exp is tasty.

also since when did mobs belong to certain players? As I said before Giants are fair game...

That's true. That's a good way to do

I usually ks back (on all mobs) if someone ks'es me. :love:

No, I won't KS a giant unless it's obviously a botter.

Jerk thing to do.

If I get KSed I make sure to follow that person and KS them for 5-10 minutes afterwords.

I think it's just annoying to get KSed when you're trying to take a giant, just have patience, it won't kill you to wait a couple more minutes for your own giant.

You leave me alone and I'll leave you alone.

Same, I will usually not KS anyone who are already attacking a mob. But if it is an well know bot that have always been at the same spot grinding for 24x7, I will not only leave the mob alone but will lure more mobs to him so as to get him killed. Especially GP, I have killed many botter by this method, even those full sun botter who always KS other can't withstand 5 to 6 party mob attacking at the same time. :twisted:

Ida know...since returning a week ago, I've only seen two live people when grinding - one of which was babysitting, and the other was screaming 'pttttttttttt' (being chased by pty giant) I'd say ks it, odds are in your favor.

1. the exp isnt that huge lol

2. it takes like 4 zerk bubles to kill a giant... it takes people so long to kill them because they waste their zerk instead of saving it for giants.

I check if its KS-able, if i can kill it and get the drops... i will.
If its HP is down to a point that killing it doesn't earn me the item. I leave it alone.

Same here. I don't bother unless I can take it lol.

I KS bots, not normal players. If the giant is almost death I don't attack, it's not worth the XP you get.

ok read all the posts about ks giants
one thing for sure ks is wrong to do to real players

now the thing not mentioned is that if you are grinding in a spot for some time you kill the mobs and then champions appear you kill them, then when you kill enough of them then you start waiting for the giant to appear

now the giant appears and now you are working on it, you are using your pots hp, mp, uni, pet
and now here comes a ks'er and he starts killing your giant and the giant is still attacking you
making you use your pots some more

yes mobs are all free for whoever, but you dont have to attack ones someone else is attacking
there are plenty of other things to kill

if it is new spawn or most of hp i attack it, if under half i let other person have it (of course if he responses if i say hi, otherwise i assume bot and ks)

normally i dont ks people unless its bots, but giants i take as a free for all since it was meant to be a group fight to begin with

dude, wat if dei r afk grindin'? lol

well considering 99% of the time your KSing goldbots nowadays, ive turned off my sense of compassion for others while grinding, and not many bots can really KS me in my spots.

BuDo · **Joined:** Dec 2008 **Posts:** 4714 **Location:**

Yes true.... with so many bots grinding more of us are inclined to not exercise etiquette. If its a bot I will KS it..If I know its a player I leave it alone because I think about how it feels to get KSed....

Oh no, I pull them to the side for a friendly man to man rock, paper, scissors match to see who gets to fight and kill it.
