I've noticed a marked increase in hostility lately...
Just started a new Enchantress on Asia LoD SCL. Decided to build a
party friendly character
When playing on Sunday, was hostiled about 6 times in less than three
hours.
Two of these were from Paladins, and one barb, low 40's (same level as
the sorc at the time). Amazingly, sorc survived.
Still, it rather funny to see a sorc duel using a melee attack with a
sword, vs the typical melee characters.
Two more were level 80+ sorc and amazon... Needless to say, I was not
feeling suicidal and let it go...
Last one had me staring at the screen in disbelief. A level 12
Necromancer. Using a bow + Bone Wall. Declared hostility upon entering
the game (which had 8 players in it)!
Now, perhaps some people have suicidal tendencies... As far as i see,
there's absolutely no way a level 12 can contest a level 42.
On a side note, I always let them pick up their 30K-odd gold. I get
that much from selling almost any exceptional item anyway.
Are people just getting more aggressive? I hope not. Does this happen
to anyone else?
