Alternative to xp loss to prevent bind rushing

to be honest.. if it's "bind rush till you log off" pvp, then guilds will just zerg chain bind rush till the other side has to log off. which is kinda gay.

it's happened on vztz, i think knuckle was actually a GM at the time, he can tell you about one particular incident which lasted approximately 5 hours. bind in everfrost, rush perma, get killed, repeat

But really, so what? The "rushing" anyway takes about 5-10mins (medding)... thats what Zek servers were like, you should have seen people training the Undead dragon at the rathe mountain zone line at the halloween event in 2001, there was like a hundred corpses at the zone line with that dragon AOEing for like 300+ and people bound behind the zone line getting right back in there killing each other... that was a Zek server. And it was beautiful.

You dont need to log off anyway... you can just move elsewhere.

I dont see how a guild Zerg bind "rushing" a smaller guild, giving them XP loss on top of overwhelming them with a bind "rush" will make things any fairer? At least with no XP loss the smaller guild can try to fight back, even if the odds are against them. With the xp loss system, it feels like whoever has the biggest zerg wins, and youre not supposed to fight back, just pack your shit and leave the area, which is lame to me.

I wasnt part of the raid scene on blue99, but it sounds like a re-hash of the zerg poopsocking that happened over there a year ago.
