Seriously though, find a good 55 monk, add him to ur friends list and be Best friends forever... in a perfect world.

I too had this happen to me, sept i dont die too easy and i ended up following him to the smites where i "inadvertantly" lured a nice big group of coldfires on him and he died :P

Im Korean, I never ask for any drop split or anything.

Hmmm... you're also Californian, which makes you a commie left coaster.... but you don't ask for the wealth to be redistributed.....

Brain.... overload... can't...... ((BOOM))

I'm Korean and I make the Necro pay full entry, and I always take all ectos, and demand 3k for their drop if they get one and decide not to give it up, and I dont speak english, and I try to sell your gold drop to you when it is assigned for you, 30k ok?

I'm not really Korean, but if so I probably would.

I resent that. I'm a 'left coaster', and I'm bleeding-heart fascist. >_>
(Is he joking? xD)

...anyway. It's not about Korean 55mos. It's about 55mos and their superiority/small man's syndrome. 55 monks came into existence, and a lot of them devloped this 'WHO'S THE HEALER NOW, HUH?! WHO'S DEALING THE DAMAGE NOW, SWORD BOY?!' idea. One cannot make a monk without losing their sanity and developing these feelings of ultimate POWAAAHHHH[/gayle].
I would know this; I haven't left pre because I can't stop smiting the Catacombs for dye. 3 in one hour!!! BEAT THAT, YOU RANGERS!!! /ahem

...right, long story short, it's not about him being Korean. He's just a jerk.

Phaern Majes · Apr 11, 2006, 07:26 PM // 19:26

The solution is you agree to give them your drops. When one drops for you, don't give it to them. If they want to leave because of it, then fine, you came out ahead. Granted its still better to just find someone who won't screw you.

Problem is that you can't protect yourself in this way because most of the time when you join up, they will see you aren't an N/Me and won't want to go. Not saying that SS/SV is the only way to do it, just the most widespread and expected.

@ Majes
Eh? What'd I do to you...? o_O;;

Phaern Majes · Apr 11, 2006, 07:28 PM // 19:28

I know, just messin' with ya.
I'm practicing.
Now that I have a monk, I'm going to see how far I can counter-grief the monk griefers without being a griefer myself.

Maxiemonster · Apr 11, 2006, 07:38 PM // 19:38

Splitting drops is nonsence, regardless of the ratio. You already have 50% chance to get the Ecto when one drops, don't make it any harder. Farm with your friends or with people that seem nice. Don't pay the 500g untill you've had at least a decent conversation.

And this type of stuff happens, you can't help it.

Phaern Majes · Apr 11, 2006, 07:42 PM // 19:42

When I duo the UW with my friend, our rule usually is:

If you get the ecto, you pay for next entry.

If we both get one then thats cool, then whoever is the richest pays

lyra_song · Apr 11, 2006, 07:49 PM // 19:49

The only time i ever split is when im with my friends, and i know they will pay or give me the other ecto.

I wouldnt risk it on strangers until we've done quite a few trips (and you are no longer really strangers).

Gumby · Apr 11, 2006, 07:50 PM // 19:50

Same problem with korean 55's on american servers.
I've grouped with several of them and not ALL of them were bad althought out of maybe 15 or 20 times only like 2 were tolerable. Most of the time they can barely speak english, they know how to say; yes, no, br, and ecto.. and thats it.

some times they purposely try and and get you killed, which really sucks.
However, I recently joined a guild of 55s and SSs, so i can always find a decent partener now.
P.S. It's the norm to split ecto 50/50 in 2 man UW teams

Phaern Majes · Apr 11, 2006, 07:54 PM // 19:54

Might be norm but its a crappy norm. Drops are intended for the people they drop for. Thats why it has Phaern Majes written all over it. And until I see otherwise its mine and all mine

For the record I'm not greedy....

Eet GnomeSmasher · Apr 11, 2006, 08:00 PM // 20:00

Yay. Let's hate on other countries over some silly video game drops.

yangster · Apr 11, 2006, 08:13 PM // 20:13

It's just a game. You should have already known about how people can act in underworld and you risked it by gonig with someone who you didn't know.

I'm just wandering if the guy was really Korean since people out there cannot tell the difference at all, for some odd reason, between Korean and China/Japan's writings. The writing doesn't look the same at all and most people on these boards keep saying Korean farmers when it's actually Chinese farmers.

nirhan shadowmauler · Apr 11, 2006, 08:14 PM // 20:14

i like to kill them with suffering/smite hex spikes.

Sagius Truthbarron · Apr 11, 2006, 08:45 PM // 20:45

The American ones are... how much better?

Which would tend to indicate that, to most people, the writing looks the same
