A Way to Lock EXP Gain

I believe this has been discussed before. With the outcome being that it would make it easier to bot:

Nice, a post where I can mention an item that I've had on my mind for quite some time. It's called Balrog's Seal Stone. This item would prevent the gain of EXP in Party Quests, whether it be EXP from the monsters in there, or completing a stage.

As long as the character has it in their etc inventory they won't receive EXP, if the player would want to gain the EXP in that Party Quest they would have to drop it and pick it back up, or have someone hold on to it that doesn't care about gaining EXP.

I hope this item does get released in this server so that people can have mules and not have to die over and over again, thus wasting the parties time while they go over to a map bumping into a monster until they've become a cute ghosty ghost.

 

Can someone explain to me how this encourages RWT botters? It's not clicking in my brain how the two are related.

 

Some RWTers would farm them then sell them for real money due to the high traffic of mules that would do KPQ (int 10%) or LPQ (NX)

But they'll just get caught anyways, so why try.

 

Whoops, I just read OP thread and instantly posted a comment returned back here and saw your post.

The item wouldn't work outside of Party Quest maps, thus it shouldn't be able to be abused be "botters" to not gain exp.

 

Suggestions on how to prevent this I am sure are much appreciated .

I assume that by not leveling up one would be able to just carry on and bot farm mesos and/or items for hours on end with virtual invisibility to detection unless another player comes into the map and reports them but idk.

 

I've used the item before and I can assure you that the item only works in Party Quests, the item cannot trigger its effect outside of Party Quest maps, so therefore hunting/farming at lets say Nightghost then they would still get exp because thats not a Party Quest map.

 

I don't think they know the mechanics around Balrog's Seal Stone.

It's not a custom addition either, its actually in plenty of other Non-Private MapleStory servers.

 

The RWT botting thing doesn't make sense to me either. Does leveling up somehow alert that they're botting? I personally don't mind the idea. Epq for example is hard to get to the 2nd earring without outleveling the area.

 

No, they're just making an excuse to not add something that the original servers had by not adding something that they think works outside of Party Quests, if the person were botting the party would know thus kicking and reporting them.

But either way the Seal Stone wouldn't work outside of any given Party Quest so its obvious even if someone would be botting with it or not, which they can't so..

Mechanics are hard I guess?

 

If "RWT" is the issue I don't think people would spend money on something that would cost no more than 300k meso lol.

 

But what's your purpose to stay at certain level to repeat pq non-stop, the only reason I can think is pq mule for nx or drop (kpq oa int 10%) only. If you want to have a mule for this purpose only, u shouldn't ask for a shortcut to achieve this. But if you want to say for 50 times pq reward only, then why not just kill yourself 1-2 level earlier to cap the exp until you can exchange for reward and move on.

 

Time.

 

??? isn't the purpose of pq to level up so you can move on? Why you want to cap the level and stay there then

 

The item is tradeable, its relootable its able to be put into storage.

People have mules for Party Questing and kill off their characters to reenter the Party Quest again.

The party would have to wait until the person would go walking over to a map and continuously bump into a monster wait until its invincibility frames drop and continue bumping into the monster until they die, possibly redoing this to lower their experience making the party wait even longer.

If a streamer would stream playing their mule would you want to watch them waste their time bumping into a monster dying then returning to the Party Quest or would you rather watch them continue with the party not wasting the time of both the party and the viewers of the stream?

To actually answer your question, the point of doing KPQ(Shoes, if not dropped/int10%), LPQ(Glasses), EPQ(Earrings), PPQ(Hat? idk about this server never did ppq here)

 

So basically you are asking GM to add a item to give mule shortcut to cap the exp so you can repeat pq for reward? Isn't this encourage people to make more mule for pq, so you don't really need to take others with u for pq anymore since you can just bring your mule to take all the reward yourself.

And like what I said in my previous post, if you just want pq reward why not just cap your exp earlier like 1-2 level early and it won't take more than 1-2 mins to kill yourself for 4-5 times in row since it won't give you full hp after u click ok to respawn back to nearby town.

 

It's more than just that, in the other servers no one really did that on multiple clients, due to having to move a character go over redo it again like LPQ last stage before Ali.

To be more "GMS-like" again, GMS had the item as well so..
