Well, I haven't written anything in a while so might as well while I'm grinding today.

A few people have spoken out recently about the amount of KSins; Kill-stealing assassins. Yeah, sins are the easiest class to KS with. A lot of people play sins thanks to Naruto (*insert witty comment about "believe it!" here*). A lot of people who watch Naruto are quite young. Therefore, we have the result of KSing Narutard sins. Meaning, a lot of sions who don't KS on purpose get tarred with the same brush. Sad, but true.

I think back to how many times I've been KSed (a lot with low level chars). Sure, there's been the odd bowman and mage, but for the most part, they've been sins.

KSing itself is another matter. Now, my definition of KSing is when someone attacks the monsters that you're already attacking, who gets the finishing blow determines the exp share and drop. Say I hit a monster with Cold Beam, a sin gets in a hit and I get the final hit, I get the majority of exp and whatever drops. If I hit once and they outdamage me and kill the monster, they get the exp and drop. I came across a lot of this at Jr Lioners/Cellions. Lv 3x sins would come onto the map where I ws ohkoing and try to outdamage me. And fail. Then complain I was KSing them. Well, as I keep myself to myself when sharing a map, I put it down to their fault for coming and attacking in my little area when there's a whole map to use.

There's been times when I've KSed by accident. When I was using just Magic Claw and my damage was unstable, sometimes I'd overspam the skill and hit the enemy behind the one I'd just killed, sometimes killing it. I'd apologise and move away from the other person.

The sort of KSing that bothers me is the purposeful sort; where people go out of their way to attack what you're attacking for no good reason. As I said before, my experiences of this have most commonly been with sins.

Although it's unfair to say all sins are KSers, the majority of KSers are sins. The obnoxious sins I've met love to brag about their damage and how much they've spent on Steelies/Tobis. Tbh, I don't care. I only care that my damage is enough to level effectively and that my equips are the best possible for my level. I don't brag about how much it cost me to make my Dark Arten/Dark Pennance. It makes no difference to me how rich I am ingame. As long as I have enough to cover my potion costs and any equipment I need (nothing until a Dark Infinitum Circlet at 70), I'm happy. If I were to add up everything I've earned in game, then sure, it'd be into the millions. But, I like to use my mesos to fund my training and help out my friends when I can. That means more to me than buying uber expensive equipment and then bragging about it to others.

Hopefully, once Naruto has gotten old, the number of sins will go down. Until then, I shall enjoy revenge KSing those who get too big for their boots, such as the Lv 3x sin yesterday who said Bella did "noob" damage at kitties. Bear in mind, this guy was killing kitties in 4 hits, I was ohkoing. He got cocky and went to big kitties. I loled muchly when they started attacking him back, then killed one myself to show how easy it was (for me). If he hadn't been KSing my friends in Garden of Yellow, I wouldn't have KSed him. Picking on a Lv 39 and Lv 30 Cleric was unjustified as there were other channels available. Insulting me was the final straw, but as he disappeared soon after I showed him up, hopefully he's learned his lesson for now...


Anyway, my current goal is for Lv 50 by the end of today, so back to grinding it is!

One humourous thing I'll share though is a Lv 15 mage I came across in Ludi the other day (see pic)

ahh that little mage is so cute.
yes sins probably do benefit the most from equips, hence those strong low level sins. -_-
