Master/slave system, more like Bully system

darkcrab

Ill be honest, currently the master/slave system is actually really not to bad, until you get to the top 10, at that point what you have is a the top 3 players effectively able to stifle out anyone whos below them, and at least knock out that method of experiance gain, further pushing themselves ahead.

It gets even worse when its used a method to bully specific players you don't like.  Example, a guild im in is having a little tiff with the servers top player.  We beat him at events mind you, mainly because 1-3 of our players can actually face him, but everyone else is at his mercy.  So his tactic?  Find us in arena, and perma enslave the moment the oppurtinity arrises, or if I or the others have slaves, immediatly steal.

Now I get that this IS a viable, if rather dirty tactic, but so far it seems this method at even near top end is mostly used a form of exp bullying.  A possible fix is simple.

If you are enslaved by " X name here"  He may not enslave you for two days

Well, we have a few people that harrass other players by adding just about everyone on the server as friends, and then rescuing those friends daily to prevent other players/guilds from collecting any xp. So yeah, the system is definitely broken. You should only be allowed to be "friends" with someone by mutual consent. It's not much xp, so I don't really care. Rather sad that these players feel the need to do this, but whatever makes them feel all big and powerful to make up for their pathetic lives is cool, I guess. This game has way too many things that need to be overhauled to ensure fair play and that will never happen. Hell, they can't even respond to something as simple as an email. You think they are going to revamp this? HAHAHA

So here is server 76's status atm.
Me lvl 78 rank 1
River rank 2 lvl 70
blaze level 63 and now finaly another lvl 60.

So for me rank 1 to get 3 slaves i have to steal rivers 3 (guildie)
For river to get 3 slaves she need to steal 3 from blaze
And blaze has to get what he can.

We are all guildies and try to work together, i have no intent to bully anyone. However i do intend to max out my slaves per day to keep rising as fast as i can.

The 10 level gap is a killer atm for us as almost a 20 level gap from rank 1 to rank 4 on.
Maybe they could allow a free slave of any level to be captured . ie someone who has quit. And ignore the level gap or top 8 rules.

Idk for 1 master you need 3 slaves maybe cut the interaction by 1 third and triple all exp related to the slave. I e so 1 master has only 1 slave max but same rewards

idea is good, suggestions are good.

nothing will change, devs wont implement/update them.

it would be nice yea but how would that work for the top 8? from what i have seen when i was in the top 3 before the merge rank #1 usually takes 3 slaves while rank #2 and #3 shares or only rank #1 and #2 share the rest of the top 8. also there are level limitations as well which slows down other peoples leveling if those they're slaving are low level cos they dont play as much, since you are only allowed to slave people who are within 10 levels below you. oh and another thing 3rd place has it difficult too since they are usually farmed for their slaves even if they havent finished their interactions thus they lose out on exp too since there is no one else to slave.

if it was possible to change i think the only option would be to open it up more so it wasnt just those in the top 8 that got slaved and they could chose anyone from the top 20

I agree!same situation here.
