In Reply to: I don't expect you to understand any roleplaying implication for anything in the game Arolin, and therefore simply choose to ignore your arguments. nt posted by Imbrogno on July 7, 2000 at 19:50:07:
Imbrogno, Arolin is right about this. Ignore him as much as you wish, but it doesn't change the fact. I've played ALOT of chars, and interracted with ALOT of arbs. I've seen maybe one or two arbs in almost three years of playing CF that have not abused their powers. EVERY arb that I've killed or attacked outside of town has flagged me for it, with no criminals even logged on that they could try to justify the flag by saying they were "persueing" the criminal and I was obstructing justice. When I was a rager, I've defended the village from a raiding arb and got flagged for it. Arbs are not meant to be invulnerable under threat of death of attacking them. Flags are meant to be issued to people who break a law in PROTECTED AREAS, or by interferring with capturing a criminal. They are NOT meant to be used for anything else, such as exacting revenge, or settling personal vendettas with people who have not just committed a crime. Affecting players not in your range with manacles and guards is grossly unfair. For them to be able to mess you up, and there's not a thing you can do about it, is simply not right. The xp penalty if fine, so long as lowbie players don't have to deal with hero guards.
