Hmmm i find the reward for team work idea interesting... as there are plenty of rewards for working in team work already... lol... and Sp3k... i too... remember feeling completely dwarfed and inadequate when was a newbie... I got hit lots... bringing stuff out to Az to sell... but all it did was motivate me more... to train... and eventually... i made my way up the list... I haven't been in a big gang since i left MPR... and haven't had the benefit... of a gang to get stuff done... i have had to... rely on decent people who are prepared to support me from time to time... or i have had to employ people... it is what it is... i don't know if i would be considered a monster... i certainly hope not... but hmmmm if i am... having 5 players jump me would make me laugh... rather than humble me... Why? because... it would show their cowardice... and lack of balls... rather than their manliness...

I agree with this suggestion or at least some move in the direction of it just to change dynamics of the game, however this DOESN'T mean i have ANY intentions to join a group and start jumping people and i would think majority of people in the thread are the same.

I think most of the people at the top right now are the ones who have put in a lot of work and they deserve some of the benefit that goes along with that. I know I'm on here almost all day, every day, and there are still a few people I consider out of my reach. But those players have been here longer, and worked hard to get where they're at.

Nobody's really untouchable though, eazy and sp3k could mug me at the drop of a hat if they wanted to, and there's nothing to stop a bunch of level 9's from getting together and cell raiding me. It's all about repercussions though. What am I going to do a day, week, or month from now about it? Same goes for this suggestion. It's not a bad one, but personally, I'd rather train my ass of and be able to handle my own business then rely on a few other people that may or may not have my back when that decision comes back to bite me..

Agree with this totally it is what i have done myself, i have paid a visit to a few people who felt it was ok to hit me when i was couple levels lower than them. Truthfully i don't ever see myself using this facility if it was implemented but because i wouldn't use it doesn't mean it couldn't spice things up a little.

Exactly what i'm saying, but clearer and in less words
