    Yea and do stop yourself before you try to repeat the point that people aren't leeching there because there are no safe spots.
    Lmao

    Holy shit I can't believe this is something even worth arguing about. Contrarian soapbox preaching has gone too far.

    It's literally just a rope to prevent 100% of all future griefing(both accidental and purposeful) in a popular map, and can be accomplished with a very minor and quick tweak.

    Reading this thread makes me want the rope for different reasons.

    LOL?
    Sadly at this point I have to concede that literacy might be an issue among the playerbase. Decent arithmetic though!

    If I were a leech seller and I lost my afk buyers because someone 'griefed' by aggroing mobs before CCing, I wouldn't continue to sell there. :yawn:

    if you're selling leech in GS you're probably a bishop; just heal your leechers if someone knocks them off the rope

    Ghost Ship is low level leech regardless so it shouldn't be sold by ratio but hourly, the buyers should also be notified that the map isn't safe by the seller, the buyers shouldn't really be fully "AFK" when receiving leech at this map.

    Peach monkeys then Chipmunks should be better leech exp anyways.

    I've bought leech there more than several times, I've never went to gs for leech or level at, unless you're solely leeching your character(s) then sure I guess Ghost Ship would be the only alternative but either way as long as the monsters in that map are being "one shot" then there is a pseudo-safe spot, which should suffice long enough unless you're solo leeching multiple characters yourself and don't want to move your characters to FM or the safe cabin on the boat thats a skill issue, as thats already been mentioned. Kimberly has also already posted the reason to why its like that and I would have to agree with her, the map is overpowered for what it gives.

    It's a popular leeching map, a popular training map as well where people can foot-pedal without any issues.
    In GMS it was the most popular botting map, with the addition to NLC chimney monsters with their op exp which is most likely why Kimberly didn't want to add them into the game. Having a safe spot in Ghost Ship would just have people making multiple Dark Knights or Mages for farming (DK at Sleepywood point farming / Mages meso farming) so its actually a good change that Kimberly and staff decided to do.

    give it some time and people will start multimaging in gs maps again but with a i/l with ice strike and have their attacker go through the channels farming nx and gachapons and next thing u know the stairs are removed

    I find it hard to believe that leeching is the main reason behind why ghost ship maps lack a safe spot. If that is the case, every single leech map (Wraiths, Red Slimes, Wind Raiders, Wolf Spider, Ulu 2, Ulu 3, Petri, Skele, 1-2F, 3-4F, 5-6F, ToT, Ludi Maps, Mulung Maps, etc) should adhere to that standard.

    In fact, scratch what I just said. Since all maps can be a leech spot, therefore no maps should contain safe spots.

    It was in general due to the map's popularity, the reason Kimberly had it implemented here is because another server has done it as well, those were her words.

    I just construed it in my own way within her reason on her choice being linked and quoted here.

    https://forum.maplelegends.com/index.php?threads/the-end-of-2021.42967/
    So I just accepted it, a few others here and I think the change is good, if theres problems then its clearly a skill issue.

    As mentioned here by OP they already found a solution, theres a pseudo-safe spot as long as someone is attacking.

    Making it so the highest exp per hour maps don't have safe spots seems like fair balance. If leechers want to leech comfortably or grinders want to afk in their map safely, then they should pursue alternative maps and trade exp gain for comfort.

    This can lower map competition and maplelegends can lower the amount of channels back to 6, make players bump into each other more often, creating a more social experience.
