Why is it so much lols?
What I think is lame is that people with a faster comp have an obvious advantage when it comes to zoning. Taking out plugging is seriously fked up and if thats the case I wouldnt even make a melee.

To even out taking out plugging can you should make a minimum zone time for people with rediculous amounts of money to spend on a fast computer? Say minimum zone time is 15 - 20 seconds.

If they complete their zone, re zone, then I appear after he has already zoned I lose hands down. This would be 100% frustrating and to know that they can get away every time by doing that and I can't have any chance to escape is broken and frustrating.

Good point Creshinabon.

I am in favor of doing nothing about this issue because it seems like a waste of time. I can see how its a legitimate problem for slow pokes with slow computers and bad internet connections, so now I really think the actual best way (regardless) is to leave it as-is.

i am so subtle, tee hee hee

Turn up your virtual memory size and defrag your HD. You know what I meant -- people with faster computers generally have an advantage over those who don't in FPS....

I don't care too much. If I were in charge, I wouldn't bother implementing some great big anti-plugging mechanic. It doesn't have a direct influence on the actual fight, and if someone plugs from you, you've won anyway. Without yellow text and (hopefully) without itemloot, people won't be so hugely obsessed with landing the killshot anyway. I'm hoping many will be satisfied with making the guy run so hard he yanked the cord out of his modem. Those players will develop a rep and the plugging has its own consequence that way. If it got red99 released a week sooner, I'd take zone-plugging with a smile. It never got my panties in a bunch on live or VZTZ.

You dudes must know not about whole guild zone plugging tactics... w/e

Just release the fucking shit box already.

[Xareth]

Yeah to what Vile said, and your entire last post is ridiculous Greatdane. If you don't actually kill someone you haven't won. So if zone plugging is legal...lol...then it's a viable tactic.

pluggin is a safety make it to the zone was and plug is almost like agate or sumfin for melee's i can see if they plug while not zoning thats not to fair if yer a warrior or sumfin but while zoneing i think its gay to change that
keep it more classic guys

[Billbike]

I don't care about zone plugging. Not really a big deal.
If you zone plug, it's like tapping out. The other guy quit the fight, therefore I win.

[Yukahwa]

I think the real problem comes from when an entire guild zones into an area and plugs..and then they all log in at once in that zone. I don't think that the rest of the game should be unclassicified and waste DEV time just to fix some raid guild problems though.
