There s noway it could be illegal to KS a king, Rose has been a farming and KSing game since it exists, be it irose, pre evo, and evo. I'm not saying KSing a king shouldn t have consequences, and this is exactly why we have pvp areas (really not enougth as it is right now, DoD is useless, noone ever uses clan fields, ruins is obsolete). The game dynamics was made this way to encourage a living story (sandbox style) where the players and clan would decide the way they wanna play the game, who their ennemies are, + it enhances the competition between players.
It's true that nowadays Boss Drop are pretty much -_-, but once upon a time you could have the best equipment ONLY farming bosses, and this was definitly the "golden time" in the ROSE history. One could argue about it, but when you look at how populated was the server when the things were working this way. Now what? gotta farm valor.... honor.... 50% of the servers are buttbuddies and there s barely any true wars (two big alliances against each others is NOT a true war, when we are talking about a game where every single clan was used to compete and fight for glory)
Now if you wanna know how farming works in ROSE, well, no, it s not a casual carebear feature. Be sure to be in a party (size of the party don t matter at all), try to make sure to have the first hit but do not worry, First Hit basically represent only 25% of the work. The system absolutly does not care if you deal the most damage. The next important thing is to manage to have the last hit while "overkilling" this will allow you to pick up the drop and even to see the drop dropping faster than you other oponent due to some latency/refresh issue. Then you do have to have a decent movement speed because, overkilling only grant you the possibility to pick up, it will not assure you that the drop is only yours.
I would not suggest the "devs" to even think about changing this core feature of the game, would represent much coding i guess and would again anihilate a competitive aspect of the game. They changed things around already way way to much while the only resonable thing to do was, after the "evolution" fiasco, to go back to a pre evo like system, system that thousands and thousands of poeple enjoyed. Stop changing and messing around things, go back to the source, would be what i would tell them.
