A word about "rep-stealing"...

[Sven Osymthe]

I reiterate...why would a leveling player go to a crowded server and place where they know its going to happen? Everyone started out the same way....wanting to get their little not. level up and have lots of help doing it...lol...take a minute and think about what you did as a level one? level 5?...lets not be hypocritical...or uptight....

The thing is 9 times out of 10 this occurs when you're on a quiet server, without the intention of dealing with this. It's just common sense not to go to a crowded server if your intentions are to be left alone.. unless of course it's test, where only two are available.

As Bug77 said, changing servers or offering assistance is the way to go. People are going to complain about it, and people are going to voice their opinions, as we have all done here. Even if it spoils the enjoyment of the game for local players, those effected by rep stealing have the right to voice their opinion, just as those whose game experience is ruined have the right to ignore it, and continue with the game.
