Rappelz PVP Flagging system is clearly just designed as a mechanism for taking money out of the pockets of the players. It\'s funny to me, because this game is advertised as a "FREE" MMO, but in just 2 months of play time a player could end up spending more on Rappelz Rupees then he/she would with a regular monthly subscription to any other commercial MMO. To me it makes no sense to play a game that requires you to basically pay real money to participate in one of the games main features, open PVP.
Now I\'m not crying, and I\'m not saying I am going to another game if this continues...yadda yadda, I\'m making this thread to:
a) analyze the current flagging system
b) make suggestions to how we can fix this flagging system
So, as I see it in the PVP I\'ve been involved in so far, the Flagging system works in this way.
- Two White players can not attack each other.
White Player A wants a fight, because White Player B is stealing mobs, and calling White Player A\'s mother a h0e.
-White Player A Flags
White Player B now has the option of killing Flagged Player A without any penalty whatsoever, and without ever the threat of flagging him/herself. Flagged Player A will get immorality if he happens to kill White Player B.
This is basically how it works, so in Rappelz Rupees Open PVP...unless you have a pair of balls on you, or $20 bucks to spare on Soap or an Immo Cleanser, there is absolutely no sense in Flagging first. Really, there is no sense in Flagging at all, unless like I said...you have real money to burn. (Which is ludicrous)
The only way NOT to get Immorality in Rappelz Rupees Open PVP, is if BOTH players are Flagged and attacking each other. This however makes no sense, because players CHOOSE to flag...unlike in other games such as Lineage 2 where players are forced to Flag if they involve themselves in PVP with someone who already is Flagged. No one in their right mind is going to Rappelz Gold flag on someone who is already Flagged, especially not their enemies.
This discourages PVP in Rappelz.
Now this flagging system might be good for the PVE servers, because PVP isn\'t the focus. However, on the Rappelz Gold server this Flagging system is a joke. Now, flame me if you want...but all of you who are playing on the PVP server can\'t argue with me that you DON\'T want MORE, and BETTER PVP. If you do want to argue that, well then I am not sure why you are on the PVP server in the first place. I think we can all agree that we don\'t want to have to take money out of our pockets every time we want to PVP each other in game.
