Hotspot is being exploited for people to farm pixel in the wildy. This isn't pking- it's giving certain individuals with too much time/accounts on their hand the ability to farm mobs while getting control points without any competition. With the recent update, CPs shop are boosted while the drops from hotspots are kept the same. I've been to these hotspots, it's the same team/individuals who control them most of the time. There is hardly any pking at these locations, which defeats the purpose of a hotspot.
Also, the most popular hotspot area for people to PK in the game is missing from the rotation -> Edgeville Border
There have been absolutely no incentives or rewards for people to pk in this area, despite if you look at the killfeed, the majority of action takes place daily at the border. Objectively speaking this area is very active for pk, if not the most active in the game.
So why isn't this area a hotspot if MOST pk action takes place here???
Suggestions
- Decrease hotspot rotation timer -> so it will rotate more and prevent no-lifers the ability to camp 500 alts farming alts instead of pking. At the very least they'll have to move their accounts around.
- Add edge border to hotspot rotation (lvl 2-3)
- Restrict this area to only lvl 33-38s can claim hotspot
- Remove red skull
- Remove the 100K requirement from this area
- People won't be farming mobs exploiting the game, but they'll have at least control points benefits while actively pk in this area, which is what hotspot should have been intended for in the first place instead of a farming ground.
- Since there won't be mobs to farm it's fair to remove red skull, and this hotspot would be part of a rotation so it won't be available all the time
This is PK not PVM. Hotspot is for pkers, not farmers. Give the border pkers some incentives.
