Ok, i cant log in so i thought i would tell you a little story.

Yesterday me and my friend were bored when we heard news of a union trade coming accross the ferrys.
I grabbed a merc scroll and off we went.
When we found the trade there were 4 or 5 60+ hunters and 2 low level 5* trades.
Chris died, as they all mobbed him. He reverse returned back, i spawned my mercs and we had some fun.

1 Fire Bull full.
2 Happy thieves.
1 pissed off union

And i guess it was just bad luck for the hunter in the background.



Sorry for the one screenshot, it kinda happened fast.

Thats nothing compared to us, Imperial on Oasis.
This is a shot taken in November, by the way, look at my sig.
We robbed the whole server basically.
In this picture, we took down a double union with just 3 of us.

Omg merc abuse is just sad! -.-' If you can't do it without them don't even do it!

This really sux ass as you can't do much against 5 mercs alone -.-'

Im guild/union leader.

Mercs are just another feature in the game, it makes 2 people into 7.

So really it was fair, 7 on 7

The problem she is talking about that they are nukers, especially if they are light nukers. You really can't do much againts the mercs.


In fact it was just 7 vs 7...more like 7vs35 (33 being the nuker mercs)

lol kyric should of screened United union trade yesterday, every guild had their mercs, they had like 40 all together o_O we killed like 10 trader though being 5persons

mercs are just gay period.

lol man wish i could have seen it....hmm....maybe i'll try and get Venice or some union to do a trade run and get some of my friends together and kill them all

Why do ppl hate mercs so much?

They're a feature in the game.

That's just like saying shields are for noobs.

So, quit bitchin and learn not to die.

Referring to my other post

How about "you" try getting past like 4 fire mercs or light mercs, then be happy about it!

So, why not use them? I say those are pretty damn good odds.

Ppl act like using mercs is cheating. Hell, if its apart of the game then take advantage of it.

OK.

What? You want me to come on the forums and start bitchin at guild masters for using mercs? Its apart of the game. Why bitch? If you're gonna cry over losing 2%xp (much less than that if you're jobbing), then don't play the game.

Because 1. you have to be gm to use them and 2. some of us actually like the accomplishment of knowing you did it your self.

Then again it's you, apparently you like having help.





no one was "bitching" about anything. And no one likes losing xp, also no human likes knowing they were beaten with no way to win what-so-ever...call it a part of human nature.

And your 4x (hope you updated your sig) get to lvl70...hell even lvl80 then say "don't cry about losing 2%"

1. So what if you have to be gm? If someone comes after you with mercs then tell your gm to come back at them. Or call for backup from the rest of your guild/union. It makes the game more fun.
2. So every single thief job you've pulled off has been a 1 person job? Congratulations, I salute you for doing it yourself.

Mercs are just a form of backup. Just something to give you an edge like SOx gear or a monkey to pick stuff up for you or a wolf to bite asses while you hack & slash.



Ppl are bitching about mercs. If not "bitch" per se, they complain.

If you know you can't win then don't go out there. And i've seen ppl overcome mercs. Its not a lost cause.

Ok, yea, 2% at lvl 80 is a lot. True. But why get mad? You're gonna die and you know it. I just see no point in complaining.

keep going, I can go all day babe

Yeah, like your GM or whole guild and union is going to come running all the way to the middle to the arathi basin almost getting to the hotan area just because you got jumped.

For one I'm not a thief (hunter), and what I'm saying ( if you looked at the rest of the post >_<) is that the mercs is OP (mmhmm yep I said it!) get some players, if you really need that much help. They really can get abused.



No one can foretell if some random thief has mercs out. Put it like this, mercs are just as bad as popping =P

OMG loot

and the lvl60 pwns the lvl2x... congrats lol

Although SOME of the people in this thread have a point, if they cant take hits form my mercs that their problem.

I hit harder than my mercs...

But yeah, today there were about 7 hunters at dw east gate so i walked out and they all ran cos they know i use mercs.

Even the lvl 65 nuker ran.

Not gloating or showing off... But using mercs makes me feel stronger and as long as i am guild/union leader i will continue to use them

If your gm or anyone else from your guild isn't willing to help, you need to join a new guild. Or pick better times when most ppl are pvp'ing and not grinding.



As bad as popping? Heh, popping is fair game in my book. But lets not even go there.
Sure, you can't predict when you'll get merc'd. But there's always a chance. Just like there's a chance that a lvl80 hunter will 1-shot you (speaking from my lvl44 point of view). I'm not gonna say that lvl80 is cheating or a noob or that he abuses the system because its apart of the game.

Sad.

Yes sir Kyric, I remember those days. Pretty much put a wall up on the trade routes andone who came fell lol

popping is abusing npc thieves (just fyi)

And name one time when nobody is grinding? This game is "all" about grinding, and/or being a bitch and annoying people.



And yes I should join a new guild because some thieves wanted to be noobs (heh, first time I ever used that word) and use and abuse some mercs.

And too ziddy: yes you can hit harder then your mercs but add that plus your mercs damage and thats one hell of a attack.

Mwhaaaa i miss that "CottonClub" union we owned lol everyone was thief didn't have to spam for help in that union

2X hunter LoLuBaD?

hehe, nice. I never did much with hunting/thieving or trading for that matter... always the same result. Dead.

@legitz...from your sig u must have some super blues...like 50+ str/int stuff...
