I get it, I was trying to use auto-hunt just to get a kill/xp for myself but there was no way, they are too fast. I got fed up with it and did what I did many years ago...perma-red. I brought my Spellhowler in and wiped out their entire camp. As you say though, they had a preset waypoint and kept coming back, not even trying to attack me. I must've killed 50 before someone decided they wanted to kill a PKer. I think it was some random guy, not even a farmer bot enforcer type.
After that little bit of enjoyment, I went back to the live, or retail, or whatever we are calling the current version. I managed to grind my ISS to 100 after countless hours of auto hunt overnights. I accepted the next quests and went to the area only to get completely smashed by the mobs. I think I have reached the limit of my free R-grade event gear. There is no way, even with the amount of hours of grinding I have done that I can afford the cheapest R99 players are selling....i am in the low double digit millions, not the billions that they are selling for. Just one more thing to entice us to go to the L2 store, get 30 days of R99 for 500ncoin.
I dont know if I missed something, but I went to the coin event quest giver and was not able to do it because that is for 105 and above. I admit, I dont follow the forums and everything going on as regular as I should, so if i miss something, that is on me. It just seems that once you hit 95, they slow it down quite a bit. Then hit 99 and they all but put the brakes on. All the shouts in chat LFG seem to be 105 and above. So WTF is supposed to happen from 100-105? How does one get to 105 if groups arent looking that low? I am not part of a clan yet, eventually yes, but not yet.
So that was my rant for today. Love the game and the game mechanics, but absolutely hate how you cant afford anything in the economy without spending real $$ at the store.
