It’s not something like one is right and other is wrong. It’s just… complicated stuff.
I’m pretty sure no one would know if you killed monsters or not if you’re walking around and linking monsters ( ? ) [that’s what I could understand from the link/wife/etc part]. You could have killed some and say you did and no one would know since you were offscreen and could lie about it.
Plus if you don’t mind moving after hours farming in a single channel and throwing away your progress others do mind. That’s something to think about. The person could have a job and only have 1 to 3 hours to farm stuff and they could be losing the entire day if switch channels every time someone appeared.
It’s more like something of common sense. If you want to be respected, try to respect others first. I’m pretty sure that it would trigger a “flag” for anyone farming DPK for hours but no one would actually be hostile to the other without a reason (especially due to the fear of “oh, right, now I’m gonna stay” type of reaction).
But think a bit, it might seem to be a dumb thing but doing these things is really bad on the eyes of most people that farm materials. It’s nothing like you farm a DPK item once and you’re done, really. For materials you need to farm 30-60 items and that can easily translate to 40+ hours of farming each pack of items, each time some item doesn’t drop you add one more 30 minutes - 1 hour to the total.
Try to think about it a bit >.< If you’re that annoyed with the situation try to understand that hours of farming an item in the current system can be really exhausting. Everyone wants the less interruptions they can get. The “channel doesn’t have your name” thing might be true for you but people who actively farm DPK items learned to respect each other when farming these. It can be already hard, there’s no point making it harder than it already can be.
It can be just as rude to enter a channel and start killing things when someone else is farming there.
Now, I’m out too ~
P.S.: @rancub It seems to be a mix of DPK and RNG. It’s not pure DPK nor pure RNG, afaik, but I stopped farming before the change so I don’t know exactly how it works but I’d say it can require around the same or more effort to farm. There are some threads about this, you can PM me to ask for them if you can’t find.
