Bucket System

I never even thought about it being abused like this! Now you mention it though, I'd say it's likely keen farmers (not necessarily moral ones) have figured it out and are doing exactly that. 😣

 

Whoever is doing that is pathetic 💁‍♀️ imagine not being able to handle getting hit back to the point where ur constantly transferring misc back n forth. Maybe the time u spend transferring misc could be used to just, like, idk, keep urself pinned? 😜✌

 

Good pickup of a potential abuse. Hard to prevent, though. And definitely not worth no longer counting misc in matchmaking for.

Perhaps some sort of rule about always being able to retaliate? Each time someone hits you, regardless of misc bonus, you can hit back 400x,
But if base stats or tb change, the same rule doesn't apply?

But this could still be used to be "unhittable" but not out of hit range. The stat advantage is still significant.

The CORE of this issue was in a.t.a's Buffing of hunt rewards and the items available to all players. The powercreep kept old players coming back and did liven up the pvp scene but there is too much Misc bonus in circulation in my opinion, and a game-wide nerfing is in order and has been for ages.

I don't know what their motivation has been for not doing it yet, but I think it's worth them trying and really looking into.

 

They also need to severely crack down on "misc traders" who exchange bulk story rewards and accounts for real money.

The ability to "quickly" move a considerable amount of mb requires huge stacks of SR which is also a main time saving technique used by these traders.

So this "abuser" is also MOST PROBABLY someone who has purchaded their items from someone in exchange for real world currency, but a.t.a don't know what they can do about that except ignore the problem.

 

Is there any ways that are very quick
in moving misc?
I guess if it's concentrated amounts of say bentos or a larger item in great numbers 🤨

 

Yes. Stacks of tens and hundreds of the same story rewards.

You see it in trading group chats all the time.

 

Ppl have too much time to waste

 

Tbh since nuffin can be done it's gotten to the point where I, and others, have stopped rly bothering to upgrade or try at all. I'd have to spend thousands upon thousands to compete which nah

 

If you constantly hit you notice when your opponent transfers misc. I sit on people and have seen my hits going from insect to close fight or fails. So yeah, people are transferring misc, if u can’t hit them anymore then hit the person who lets them borrow the misc RS/pimd partner etc. That’s also why there are clubs, if I can’t hit someone bc they’re too weak or too strong there’s someone in my club that can hit. There’s no way right now to prevent people from transferring misc unless ata does a 1x misc transfer per week. They could also cap the amount of misc players can transfer with one another per day/week but I’m sure no one wants that.

 

Just hit.
If your win ratio sucks find a 🎯 that seems dear to them that your success is better 🤷‍♂️ petty farming they may call it? 🤨

 

The bucket stuff isn't my concern.
Once I'd seen it...
I said..
Fuck it

 

O, I haven't noticed that, but I can see how that could be an annoyance. Have you tried hitting someone in the bucket above you to activate the uh ... Buff ig, that says something like 'because of your agressive actions, you may be hit by a wider range than usual'?

Since the new system of max misc, I haven't even tried upgrading, haha. Didn't see the point at least for a while...

 

I think they would both have the buff

Also Sherily I don't think this is common. Seems too petty and efforty. They're already hitting down like crazy which is a major scumdog move so I'd just call friends to help.

Also 1 trade per day would suck situationally for me as a trader, but can always trade via gifts. But it is lilely that these people have 3+ alts anyhow which is probably more trades than they currently do per day.
