A sensitive topic between the oppressed low level and/or class-disadvantaged players vs. the high level, and/or, class-advantaged oppressors.

It has been an issue with mostly every game, that is when a stronger player comes killing mobs which are already being hit by others. Eliatopia was not spared having this issue as well amongst players. Stronger or class-advantaged players can either one shot the mob, or kill it fast, allowing them to steal XP, and the right for the loot.

This is also used for bullying of other players already having this problem, specially if the oppressor's goal is to take the entire grinding area for himself.
This in turn can be very frustrating on the part of the bullied/oppressed that may cause them to lose interest of the game.

Because of this, as I have experienced the same issue countless times, I would want to suggest a mechanism to avoid, or at the very least, minimize kill stealing. (And if my suggestion is not sufficient or feasible, I do hope the sir Robby can make a way fix this).

A very simple mechanism that I have realized is the possibility to reserve the mob on first hit.

Let's say Player 1 made contact with the mob, he has first dibs, and thus any other player (Let's say Player 2) hitting it or killing it next will have the disadvantage when it comes to XP and right of loot.

Now hold your horsies! there's more.

This would only work, if Player 1 would actually continuously hit the mob (within allowable timeframe), else the right for the mob can be opened to Player 2. This is to avoid players first hitting all the mobs just to reserve it.

For the XP and Loot, in case Player 1 called dibs, but the mob was killed by Player 2, I would honestly suggest to give the XP and right of loot to Player 1, but of course this is debatable and I would leave this to Robby.

But it doesn't end here, with this mechanism in place, there will surely be a shortage in mobs. The very reason why players kill steals (aside from bullying). I would suggest that as this mechanism, if possibly going to be implemented, the mob count and respawn time should increase as well to balance the change.

These are just suggestions and it would be awesome if others can hop in with more suggestions to make the game more playable and fun.

Hmm,thats interesting but i doubt it makes sense tbh.
Theres mobs created for like every level so why would a lvl 100 grind still at crab area for example?
-
If you are talking about bosses it also doesnt make sense cuz they were made to kill them as a team and not for soloing it.
The balancing isnt da best ngl.. so its easy for whipmasters for example to kill endlevel boss alone in just soeconds.
And the fact only cortex drops s4 rn makes higher lvl player go farm there.
I guess thats what u meant with that bullying.
I doubt there will still be alot of players when more monsters will drop s4 which will happen in the next server reset as robby said.
So yeah.. hopefully u could understand me, sorry broken english ^^
