OK, the reason I have made this thread is because I have been in numerous situations where I have been called a kill stealer(KSer) or have been KS'd. So, what exactly needs to happen for someone to have really KS'd?
Let's start with some obvious situations:
- You or your party is killing a mob and someone comes up and starts killing it.
Great! We have the definite's out of the way. Now what about the ones that people have different opinions on?
Let us list some of those shall we?
- Someone is killing a mob and another one starts attacking that person. You attack the one that hasn't been damaged.
- You have been killing in a spot for quite a while in a certain spot. Suddenly a person takes all the mobs and proceeds to do an AOE party right next to you. You pull one of the mobs not yet damaged and kill it.
- A non-aoe class(I.E. Cleric) pulls two or more of a mob when there is many around. You take the one not being damaged.
- A non-aoe class(I.E. Cleric) pulls two or more of a mob when there is not many around. You take the one not being damaged.
- Someone calls a certain mob that spawns rarely. You get to it first. Did you KS?
- Someone has declared a "spot" in which every mob is his. You attack one of the mobs he isn't attacking.
Personally, I go by my own rules when it comes to KS'ing and tell people too bad if they think otherwise:
- If someone is attacking a mob, don't attack it.
- "Spots" don't exists. You can't declare a certain area only yours.
- If there is more than one spot for the mob don't go where someone else is killing. (I.E. Orcs)
- If many people are soloing and a party decides to aoe everything leaving nothing for anyone else, take one of their mobs. It's not fair to everyone else.
- For any class but clerics, more than 5 mobs is a little greedy. Again it's not fair to steal all the mobs of an area when people are soloing there.
- If your a cleric, one mob at a time. Deal with it. (Unless it's a rarer mob that spawns less than normal.)
