Ok, this is more of a query than a report, thats why i posted it in this section.
I have tried to find if there is any rule against kill stealing etc, but cant find anything.
I wanted to know if kill stealing is against the rules, but more importantly,
in my case, is Node Stealing against the rules.?

I ask because i was trying to clear node of monsters in Sandfall Desert,
when this dude comes up and just stands and waits, till i kill all but one monster.
Then he jumps in and takes the node while i kill the last monster.

I think this is really really low behaviour and is just as bad as kill stealing.
I was more angry about the dudes behaviour than the actual taking of the Platinum.
Just goes to show how low some people will stoop.

I realise there is nothing you can do in this case,
as i omitted to get the dudes name or screenie,
due to it being so quick and he then raced away.

So back to the question;

Is Node Stealing / Kill Stealing against the rules.?

thank you for any reply.

    Hey Animouse,
    There are no rules regarding kill or node/resource stealing as it would be too difficult to actually uphold them. I don't really know of any game that has such rules in place, at least for resources. Luckily most players don't do it out of respect but there will always be one that does unfortunately.

    A screenshot wouldn't really be sufficient anyway. I have no way of knowing which of you was there farming first or what the situation was etc. etc. The only sufficient evidence would be a video but I doubt many would want to bother recording their farming sessions just in case something like this happened and then edit and upload to youtube or something - too much messing around. So no, there are no rules regarding this.

    Yes i can see sense in what you are saying.
    Just have to hope this was one bad apple in the barrel
    and it wont happen again.

    Other games i play do have rules against kill stealing though.
    Its sometimes part of the clause : " You must not intentionally interfere,
    or spoil another players pleasure playing the game ". ( or other words to that effect )
    As you say though you need screenshots and chat screenies as evidence.
    So its not really worth the time and effort, as long as its not the same player,
    continually doing it, then it would be necessary.

    As for resources, this is the first game i have played where this has happened.
    Maybe i was just lucky that players i encountered before were honest and fair.

    Thanks for the reply.

    the only time this has ever really been an issue in this game is when someone steals a boss from another team...ie bosses that are in pvp maps then a team comes in wipes out the team that was fighting the boss then kills the boss and takes the loot.
    its fair game though..just some ppl are a..holes.. you will find this in any game you go to.
    there are so many maps with ore veins its not hard to just move to a different map if someone is getting on your nerves.
