Just a suggestion....monk's FD

I had been camping a named mob in pick 2 which has a 15-20 min respawn. So, I bind myself and I origin back home to grab some drinks/bank, etc and when I get back I guess it stuck me at pick 1 again. There was a group there who immediately said 'camped' so I explained I was sorry and picking over.

Go back to my pick I was at and by the time I had zoned in (for some reason I am zoning slow) my pet was halfway through the named mob. In comes a monk who immediately starts training mobs on me. So I start mezzing them and he's actually breaking mez and FD'ing again.

Now, had the lovely person not done that, I could have mezzed the mob and let him have it. But since I had to keep chain mezzing the adds my pet killed him. I was in a lower level zone so I would have left if there was an exp group there and it was during the time when the log in server was down so I figured I'd be fine, I mean when I was there originally there were only 2 people in the zone.

I just think that this game shouldn't give a class an ability that allows them to be a virtual bully. It's never SK's or necros that seem to do this behavior, it's always monks I hear doing this. This guy clearly had his tactic down pat as he knew how to train players which means I was definitely not the first victim.

I think a suggestion would be for the ability to fail when they are within a certain distance of another player character not in their group. Actually I would welcome any suggestion as this type of conduct is unfair and does not create a good environment. I did the /report, but not sure that is does anything as the message on the screen just says it's sending the last so many lines of text.

Hopefully while you guys are waving the nerf bat around, you can consider these suggestions because this is just like their own personal /q and it is being abused.

Thanks!

I've never personally had a problem with monks. Would hate to see an entire class get nerfed just because of a few bad apples.

Would you like some cheese with your whine? Monks have had the FD ability since the beginning. Granted, some people are unscrupulous and abuse it. That's what the /petition or /guidehelp is for. Take screenshots of who did it and submit it through the proper channels. Just because you got offended because you got trained doesn't mean every monk has to suffer for it.

This isn't a whine. I am reporting an issue and posting suggestions. I didn't have any reason to be upset except for his behavior. They actually read these comments so this really aimed towards DB which is why I posted it in these forums.

What you're calling for is a blanket nerf on all monks of their FD ability simply because you got trained by one. If you're so worried about that one, why didn't you /petition him? /report just sends the text and nothing more. And since zones are instanced, why not try a new instance? I only have a low level monk(level 8), so I can't even FD yet. But even so, I think what you're suggesting is ridiculous.

Did you ever think that the monk might have been training you because you were killing the mob he was camping?

I think you all haven't read the post. Again, I didn't say get rid of FD just make it so it's not a weapon. This isn't a rant, it's a suggestion. I had to explain how it's being abused just as /q was that everyone hated.

They definitely didn't read your post Gemstones. Don't sweat it.

1. learn how to use the /report and /petition command. You even said yourself that you couldn't figure out how to use it. /guidehelp and wait for a guide and ask them the proper way to use the /report and /petition commands
2. In no way shape or form should they even consider changing how a monk FD works. It has been working as it should since the very first monk ever got to lvl 17 to train points into.
3. People need to stop throwing around "nerf this" "change that" "this is bs" when something bad happens to them in the game. You should take these bad experiences as a learning measure on how to prepare yourself next time it happens.
4. No suggestions need to be given to what your asking simply because there is nothing wrong with it.

You're still asking for a nerf. Even if they extended your suggestion to include raids, it'd still be a considerable nerf. There are plenty of times that a class with feign death will want to drop agro. Invisibility isn't reliable for any of them until fairly late in the game. Just being on example, now if they had a train and round a corner to see a group there (and normally they're well ahead of the train) the group is now guaranteed that train, where they would have been able to save the group and themselves before. There are a number of spells and abilities that can be used as "weapons" and I'm sure every class has access to some. Are they going to nerf charm, mez, DA, and who knows what else next?

Monk are not psychics, he has no way to know you would do that, he might be an *** we don't know or just someone fed up by chanters that mezz/charm mobs so they can take it away while laughing, then kill it at leasure near the zoneline.

Fact of the matter is, you dropped into an instance, ontop of most likely his mob, did you come from a /pick or a /warp, he doesnt know that, how long has he been camping the mob, we have no idea, how many bad runs has he had with enchanters, again we also do not know....maybe you where his last straw or the drop that filled his bucket...

As a monk since 99' and knowing how FD works intimately the OP's suggestion should be up for "Dumpster Fire" comment of the week. Wanting to nerf a ability because he/she had a bad experience is assanine. Instead of using in-game tools to remedy this OP chose to flame something ridiculous on the forums. Please just re-roll on a free server and go MOLO. Your issues will all be solved.

That would be like taking charm away from Enchanters because a high-level in EK likes to charm Droon for his pet to farm spiders. NO!

It's not the fault of the class, it's the fault of the person playing. Some people are going to find a way to do things like that no matter what.

Forgive me if I don't believe the whole innocent victim story you are giving us.

The biggest kill stealing pet class I've come accross is an enchanter. Mages don't even come close. How about we take away your charms and mez since those are used by a bevy of chanters to take kills?

PVP server would solve this problem... Just sayin...

I've had monks train to the corner of frenzy and agro me in the hall and then they and their mage box can take the camp. I /shrug and walk away because while I could fear some something and FD necro or log in other boxes to grief it ain't my style. I'm just heading to a different spot to continue my happy group, names jotted down.

There isn't a reason to punish the class because of a few jerks.

I think you both are wrong. Training, certainly is rude, but it doesn't look like you tried to explain things to him. You came here and are now calling for nerfs.
