Just posting to clear up a little dung talking on Discord. Apparently this turned into me knowing this person was having link issues and going in for a cheap kill, when in reality it was a blick with no indication of link issues and an immediate tell acknowledging they were online when ripped. Months away from the game, nice to see these attitudes and Discords toxic agents are still prevalent.
I started in CoL because I had idled out last time I logged on Valken:

Caemlyn Central Square
You are in a large stone square, right in the middle of Caemlyn's outer
city. You see a wide boulevard to the north, and the path to the inner
city. There are a number of shops around you. The density of the population
is really quite incredible. It's almost impossible to relax as you are
being constantly bumped and jostled. From here you can really get a good
view of the outer city, and this just makes you appreciate the older inner
city all the more. A large banner hangs nearby, depicting a map of
Caemlyn's outer city.

Middle of a Wide Boulevard
This is the middle of a wide boulevard that runs east and west across Caemlyn.
The boulevard is bisected by a strip of grass and a row of trees which run its
length. The sheer noise of crowded Caemlyn is overwhelming, almost a dull
roar. To the north is a paved road which leads into the Inner City. To the
south is an open square and a cluster of shops.

Re: attitudes and expectations
Next time return nothing to her.
I have to say, that with Discord nowadays, my incentive to return eq (which has always been low-low), has become even less
People expect returns and expect to be spared whenever nowadays. They go AFK in the middle of nowhere, and if you find them legitemately, they cry to high heavens..

Re: attitudes and expectations
Concur with Razhak. The amount of times I've been killed ld or afk is funny, and I've never expected or asked for a return. Cool when it happens, but I don't return either way.
Really silly the amount of things that happen and people say when you don't do as they please.

Re: attitudes and expectations
I've been playing this game for 20 years now as of a few weeks ago, I've literally had my gear returned maybe twice? The entitlement is astounding, you go afk or end up linkdead, that really really chortlesnorfling sucks, I get it, I've been there.
The fact of the matter is that getting gear in the current state of the mud is so damn easy no one should ever complain. I used to spend weeks putting my dodge kit together. Now I don't want to sound like an old man, I walked up hill both ways in the snow! But your damn straight I did it. If you afk in a shitty spot, thats your fault, if you lose link, that sucks, and if you're flagged, I personally won't kill you, but that doesn't mean everyone won't.
I remember when it was mandated that if you want to return you left it on the corpse or you would be docked qps. If you go out, expect to die. Thats all I can say. Sure it sucks, but it takes all of an hour to be able to compete again.
Valken, don't sweat it. Seriously.
Ps - I just need to say it, wtf is with everyone thinking they can just AFK wherever now all of a sudden, and they're suddenly immune? seriously? Life has consequences fam, good decision making skills are key, accept the risks that come with those decisions

Re: attitudes and expectations
I didn’t just go afk and I wasn’t on such a link that I was dc for 10+ minutes at a time. I had been pking around andor for 2 hours and specifically inside caem for 45 minutes in which time I killed two people. And when trying to kill a third he said he had link issues so I stopped attacking him. Fast forward a little bit and my link completely drops. I’m watching Netflix fine etc but my cmud won’t connect. Adael is a generally a classy dude so I figure hey I’ll just log my phone and let him know what’s up. I wasn’t ‘in and out’ of pk. I was in pk. Then I wasn’t. The 10 mins adael is talking about is me standing there logged in my phone while trying to reboot/reconnect. So yeah, it’s a bit greedlording when I die with clearly stated link issue and you say sure I’ll return but after I take everything I want from the kit first. And only deciding to not return bc I was on an unknown toon. Since you asked adael who I was it’s clear if you thought it was a person of value then you would return. But a nobody you are fine screwing over.
Re: attitudes and expectations

Re: attitudes and expectations
He did not return.
Re: attitudes and expectations
I returned only his scalps after being called an ignorant, dickhead, greedlord, and what the forums translate hilariously to "stupid well dressed person of quality" which is unfortunately not what he said haha.
I swapped out your basic dodge for the heavy combo I was wearing... not sure if that was enough to anger you or if you thought I was stealing the rare kandori trinkets or what... assuming it was my comment of swapping that did it as you seemed fine with Adael getting cleaver back.
I had asked Adael about you not because I cared if you were "someone", but because I've learned there are so many venomous, lieing assholes around the mud now days. It's amazing how often people were having link issues when they rip, and I wanted to confirm if that was the case for you, since I don't know you, having been gone for awhile.
This wouldn't even have been posted had you not tried to make the scenario look worse on Discord, assuming I wouldn't know and defend myself.
I'm done with this thread, and it would appear people agree expecting a return is poor form. Personally I'm ok with checking, especially for link issues, but becoming belligerent that someone won't comply had some unfortunate consequences this time. Maybe see you around on mud, no hard feelings here.

Re: attitudes and expectations
I logged in naked the gear doesn’t matter it’s about the player base just being ok killing anyone for things outside their control. I had already planned to swap adael the cleaver for my friends gear back. Since I figured a unique for 2 half combo kits would be fair. Which is why at the end of it all I asked simply to return their kits and not mine. As far as discord I didn’t say anything there I didn’t say to you and I only mentioned what was happening after someone else specifically mentioned your name. Maybe Razhak and rig don’t agree but I stand by what I said. And funny coming from rig who was just killed while chatting on discord and got a full return with a unique. Anyways it’s all done now. Enjoy your time back. Andor needs the help.
