Spawn killing Options

[GatlinGun]

I know that {MOB} has no rules concerning spawn killing but I think something should be considered to ease this rule just a little. I am an avid UO player and play on {MOB} servers daily and have for some time now. I have always enjoyed the game with many {MOB} members and visitors alike. It is always a good tactic to sneak behind enemy lines and take them out but my concern is the ones who sit in a tank and constantly kill every single spawning player. Today it irked me so much that I actually called the spawn killer a fag. Considering that I am the founder of my clan and in no way condone this sort of behavior, I appologize to the person I offended. But, mass spawn killing is considered cheating on most servers and is clearly a sign of lack of skill. Im talking the skill it takes to actually war in the field like a normal player would. We also allowed spawn killing on our UO server not so long ago. Our server population was extremely high and now it dropped to almost nobody due to the fact of allowing spawn killing. I have also seen this happen to a few other popular UO servers. Having a sniper take out the enemy is one thing but when you have 2 or 3 tanks taking out every single spawner is just, well, rediculous. Like I said, our server population fell 90% when we allowed spawn killing. Just something to think about. <>TE<>GatlinGun - Team TerminalEclipse.

I agree that it's an opinion topic. I tend to usually think that spawn raping is a no-skill sport. But I see the other side of the matter as well where people must be skilled to know where the spawn is and when to hit it. I still think it's a weak kill and I find it humorous when people post the screenshots of their scores with glee when most of the kills were spawn ownage. I understand that in a real-world scenario, you would most likely pummel your enemy into the ground like that, but this is a game and sometimes keeping a few players from dropping off the server means a lot. Again, this is all opinion and the rules specifically state that spawn killing is allowed. I just tend to think in certain circumstances, if the other player doesn't even have a chance to fight/play... what's the point of playing? Same can be said for playing against hackers. They just want to frustrate players or pad their ego with nice stats. <---My opinion ofcourse.
