The really sad part is that we the players have to fight internal, just because MA
has'nt made the rules solid. Simply to stupid. We're trying to play a game
for fun, and all we end up doing is arguing

I personally don't approve of trapping, and think it should be toally banned, but
at then end of the line ... what I really want, if for Marco of make a decision ...
legal or illegal. MA should make the rules crystal clear.

My opinion is ever more harsh.  The biggest complainers are the super ubers, who can solo those critters also.  Us lowly grunts are supposed to provide the peds for those big guys, and it upsets them when a grunt collects some of the money. 

I agree with Ty, it would be a lot better to see 80 x 1000, vs 1 x 80,000.   But that is just because we are the loop providers, not the loot collectors.

At the time that the ATH occured, there was a glitch in the graphics of the game wherein a creature could still be damaged while not being able to hit you or even advance to attack you.(i.e. an araneatrox "spider" could be down the side of a cliff and not in a postion that the game could see and then prevent it from taking damage, but it wasn't moving and you were well out of range of it's attack still inflicting damage.)  It can get kinda confusing if you've never done it before.  With the VU to 8.5 and subsequent mini-patch 8.5.1 they have actually over-corrected this "glitch" now creatures are standing on flat ground next to you attacking you and you are wasting ammo and the game is saying the creature is in a condition that does not allow it to take damage.

Yup, I have had that happen a lot, in places where it shouldn't be happening.  By a rock, or a tree, down a hill, or next to another mob.  Once again, the cure is worse then the disease.

MA rubs their greedy little hands, thanks Mar, our goal is to maximize the expenditure of your ped, while minimizing the payout of our ped.  We have come one step closer to total success.

Grats to that guy which hit the big jackpot.I totally agree with him even if he traped the mob or not.i saw few comments at Entropia forum which said that guy can be from MA or something.If it s true it s sad,if not ,that guy just exploit the weakness of the system,a thing which almost everybody did it or will do in the same point.
Few days ago,my and Kali we killed few falax(3) without armour.WE died like 20 times,but we drag the mob just beside the revival terminal(no turrets).It s this illegally,can i be banned for this?Can you called that a trap?Really i want to hear some oppinions about it.I have to say i spend 15 peds ammo,kali as well in every single one,because the moob regain the hp so fast(damn) and we get back almost 5 peds on each mob.IF i get a ATH in this way for sure i will see a lot of discussions in Entropia Forum.
CAN I DO THIS AGAIN?(Btw i had a lot of fun when i hunt those falax)

No, I don't think that is a bannable offense Scad.  MA says no trapping.  You didn't trap the mob, you used reasonable tactics.  Plus you spent a lot of ped on ammo, therefore, MA is very pleased with the outcome.

What ubers want, MA bends over and provides.. what they want is our money.  Notice loots from uber level mobs is up, while low level mobs its down.. wonder why that is??? The sooner that Afterworld comes on line, the quicker MA will vanish... but most likely it will be 1 or 2 yrs before Afterworld clones all of MA's problems as well.
