People this stupid deserve to die?

[Mcsaladshaker]

Ok my friend is in a game, and tells this druid "I'll give you free items for your ear". The druid agrees and gets killed and my friend loots him. Then my friend gives the druid all his gear back and the druid just goes "Thanks" and leaves. People this stupid deserve to die?

That's when my left brain looked at my right brain and said, "it's dark in here, and we may die."

I believe that most moral people believe that it's noble and honorable for the strong in a society to protect the weak.

Ok so Diablo is just a game. I still think it's wrong to take advantage of others in any way - even within the context of the game.

So.. no I don't agree that it's correct to take advantage of someone just because you can.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. I have a very hard time reconciling my humanitarianism with my flat out will to apply the Final Solution on Darwin's unwanted children.

Proof that the idiot isn't a race in instinction yet...

[YouHaveMail]

Tell your friend I said thanks for the gear!

[Smack the Pony]

I guees you could say that it is your friend that is the stupid one !?

[kurg]

Why is that any dumber than 'rush for hellforge'?

Now if it was a lvl 90 druid or something, THEN it would be stupid.

[choc0]

i think its pretty funny...
gg druid who agreed in the first place :P

[FrankZappa]

Who says it's stupid? I think if this is how the dude wants to play the game than do it! Use lots of poison charms too.

[wangboBW]

I kind of feel bal for the druid. Your friend could have at least added something? Maybe a little TY item on the side for all the little druid's troubles.

[Matt]

I think thats the point guys. Maybe i misunderstood, but i took it that his friend killed the druid, who then accepted his own items back, just because his friend was a good guy and returned them, then, before he could get any additional items to "pay" this guy, he thanks him and leaves, coming out of the whole thing one druid short.

Now, i reread it and i can also see how it may seem that the friend never had any intention of giving him any items, but if his friend is just out to be mean, then why return his gear?

I belive it is one of those two things that happened, either way, yes the guy is a low watt bulb. I just hope it was the first one, where it was the druids fault, not that your friend was "scamming" him (for lack of a better word, it wasent really a scam)

Silly druid.
Should have been packed with Rainbow Facets.

[Matt]

that would make me laugh, really, i would laugh for days if i saw some high level character pk a lower level (whatever level you need to be for rainbows) and die.
If i were really rich, i would make a character using JUNK except for a 6 socket wep and 4 socket shield on switch, filled with rainbow facets of course, then find some OBNOXIOUS high level guy, challenge him to a duel, let him kill me, then watch him die. That would make me very happy.

[YouHaveMail]

Someone posted about wanting to do that, in seriousness.

[choc0]

wouldnt a kamikazie thorns pally work just as good?

[PhatTrumpet]

Even high-lvl Thorns doesn't return jack for damage in PvP. Sip did a test build and ended up scrapping the char.

It would only work if the attacker used melee physical damage (ranged and elemental don't work w/thorns).

It's 'supposed' to give 1/10th dmg in pvp. My lvl 25 thorns does something like 1250 percent damage returned (its linear).

So in theory, someone hitting you with physical damage would see 125 percent damage returned. But it may be bugged as to return far less. I haven't tried it out.

As did i, same result, the character could stay alive somewhat well, but the damage returned was a joke. it was listed as 9xx% i think, which should have been 90ish% returned in theory, but for whatever reason, it was terrible.

that would be a really great plan, with the only problem that it would take you longer to MF/trade for 10 facets than it would to actually just make a PKK-designed character. OF course, the humor value isn't nearly as high...

As I posted in another, unrelated, thread, I believe that there is a sort of bug associated with Thorns. First, it takes 1/10 of the damage it -should- return, THEN it adds the 1/6 PvP penalty, resulting in a net return of 1/60 of an opponent's damage (and the numbers could be even more ridiculous, if the game somehow decides to take 1/6 of the 1/60 for the opponent's pvp penalty).

So... It's either some glitch, or Blizzard REALLY hates thorns. *shrugs*
