Default Moral dilemma- snare someone quadding?

I don't think I *get* the "it's okay to attack people if they're engaged with NPCs" thing, even after all this time. It's acceptable to do and I understand this, but is it okay to do it if it means certain death for the person? Up until now, I've only used it on bards when I had no other recourse, but now I'm wondering if I should use it more often. I'd only do it to people whom I know would do the same or similar to me (people I've had bad experiences with in the past), as I wouldn't want normal PKs to do it to me in retaliation.

When do you think it's okay to use snare/root?

Whenever it gives you a tactical advantage to do so

You have to leave the Vallon Zek morality at the door unfortunately. When I first started playing on EQEmu it was on VZ/TZ towards the tail end of 1.0. I came into it with the same dilemmas you are currently facing.

The players of VZ/TZ corrupted my once kind and innocent mind and made me realise that playing dirty is just too much fun. The moral of this tale is simple...

Turn on fraps, root/snare said faggot and let the luls begin. Remember if you dont take that amazing and hilarious tactical advantage they will.

Being another old vallon zek player i had to learn this the hard way as well. Take your chance, if you have to, i usually leave people alone if they have shit gear and doesn't get in my way, but if they are shitting up your camp i'd go for it

I'm strictly talking about people that have CCed, or killed me on cr, or trained, or whatever. That said, you guys are probably right.

Hell yeah you should... If they greifed you, grief them back... Hell I haven't griefed anybody and if I was quadding and I got rooted/snared and didn't handle it appropriately or notice somebody else was in the zone and it was a possibility, I would be pissed as fuk... I might rage and bang my head against my keyboard but then I would laugh because I would do it to most people on the box myself, and giggle the whole time.

You're supposed to knock someone unconscious then cast disease cloud on them so they just sit there forever. Or keep throwing ninja stars at them each time they stand back up so they go back unconscious again. I used to do that to all halflings I found on SZ.
