I tend to think merciless griefing of unknown random people as a way to spend all your time in H&H is working as intended. The game creators gave me this belief with lots of posts in threads about PvP in the past. So, what can someone write in that ticket?
I'd say Akihabara is not a problem for the Gods (like Jorb or Loftar) to solve, but it is for us, the mere mortals, to deal with it efficiently and to close any and all ways for this problem to continue or to reappear. Just like when fixing a bug, only here the bugs are not in the game, but between the chair and keyboard.
PS: I'm an engineer in real. I'm not a very very nice person in real. So, imaginary problem:
Someone punched me in the face to express his disagreement with me. He can do this again whenever he feels like.
Possible solutions: - Change my way of expressing my opinions, my own opinions and my way of interacting with humans.
- Be a good christian, turn the other cheek and get punched twice because the guy cold not refrain when you presented him such a nice opportunity.
- Call the authorityes and let the guy go unharmed because it is illegal to hold him by force until police arrives.
- Punch him too and start a brawl for the fun and amazement of all by-passers.
- Find some huge guy and pay him to intimidate your agressor.
- Break his hand calmly,without any facial expression, using both your arms in conjunction with your knee, a parked car, a desk or whatever else you find around. As long as he can not use his arm he is guaranteed to not punch you again.
Which of the solutions do you think is more effective (gets the most reliable result with the least effort and fastest) ? Whichever it is the most effective, that is the solution to apply. Esthetics, people happiness and morals are not concerning engineers.
Now, how should the problems Ahikabara causes be solved effectively?
Wastelands. Ruins everywhere from proud civilizations, with today's survivors scavenging whatever they can carry even if they can't even use it. Eating rats cooked alive is OK for everyone. Walking around naked is natural, since very few have time to waste in getting a rag to cover their deep wounds. And the game is only Alpha.
