What kind of player behavior can affect our gameplay?

Question

Tibia is a MMORPG but beside other games of the same genre here the player vs player is present in several aspects that impact directly our performance and entertainment, this could lead to a more enjoyable and cooperative gameplay or instead could turn our gameplay really unpleasant, that's why is important to know what could do another player that could impact in our gameplay, specially if that behavior could hinder our entertainment, to aid this question were nice to know:

Does this behavior affect all game-worlds even opt PvP?
Is any of those behavior ilegal or reportable?
There is something that we could do against it?

Answer 1

Some players may engage in behaviors that can negatively impact the gameplay experience of others. Examples of such behaviors include, but are not limited to:

Griefing: when players place items that block your passage, pull the lever on bosses to make you lose the boss, move you away from levers, stay on the lever to not let anyone do the boss, etc.

Luring: players can lure monsters on hunts to kill players. They can do this on normal hunts or make traps with boxes of monsters that you will die when you fall into them (when you enter a portal, a hole, etc).

Stealing/Ksing: players can follow you through your hunt and deal more damage than you, stealing your monsters and making you earn less exp and almost no loot. Normally, a high-level player steals from low-level players to make them submit and do what they want (like quit the game, forcibly join their guilds, pay hunted fees/ransom, transfer to another server, etc.).

Scamming: people can trick you into buying useless items for high prices, steal your belongings with frauds, and a lot more.

Harassment: they can send hate messages, hate mail (parcels with some stuff to infuriate you), steal your hunt, block your passage, follow you everywhere and keep you annoyed.

These behaviors can occur in all game worlds, including Opt-PvP servers. Some of these behaviors may be considered illegal or against the game's rules, and players who engage in them may be reported to the game's support team for investigation.

On PvP servers, most of the bad behaviors result in wars and people killing each other. Wars are good for the economy of the servers. They can last years or weeks, they can be settled on a deal, or by kicking the losing team from the server.

If you encounter any of these negative behaviors while playing Tibia, there are several things you can do to mitigate their impact on your gameplay experience. You can try to avoid players who engage in these behaviors, report them to the game's support team, or seek help from other players or their guilds (or other guilds not related to this one) to combat these negative behaviors. Additionally, it is important to stay informed about the game's rules and guidelines to ensure that you are playing within the game's guidelines and avoiding any behaviors that could be considered negative or harmful to others.

That's a really nice answer, thank you

Could you please talk a bit more about some common methods to scam someone and/or maybe the black skull thing?

I wish this could be useful for new players to learn quickly what dangers a player represent for them in order to reduce  the amount of people that qut* tibia because of other players.

There is a lot of ways to scam people. Most of them includes gaining trust and access. But some of them are really easy to avoid. There is a lot of impersonators that makes similar names to famous casino streamers, and log on tibia worlds trying to scam people who like to play on those casinos. People can offer themselves to imbue your items, just to steal them. The possibilities are limitless. Recently a videoclip gained repercussions from a guy falling into smooth words from a scammer, and placing he's backpack on the house of the scammer to "show" what backpack he was using, and the scammer immediately kicked him from the house with the command "alana sio" to steal he's items.

Well, about the red/black traps that you asked... Normally they are done on retro pvps, and works like this:
You can use spells like utevo res ina, or those costume bag's that you can get, to transform yourself on orcs, trolls, etc. People often create characters with names like "Orc Warlord" or something that its similar to the monster name, transforms themselves with these items/spells, and go on the monster spawns, where people are hunting/doing their bestiary or something like that, and stay there to get killed. Also, on retro pvps, people get tricked to use area spells on low level characters. It's actually pretty common because people make mistakes when they get trapped, get scared, or are just  distracted.

Most of these scams, are made by tricking people into doing something they are not supposed to do. Most of them are avoidable but people keep falling into them because they feel safe, confident, and get distracted most of the times. Think twice before trusting on someone. That's allIi have to say to y'all.

Answer 2

Hello,

Sadly I have to say that Power Abusing behaviour isn't punished by Cipsoft and game rules.

People are allowed to follow you and KS your monster, disturb your gameplay by doing whatever Ttey want as far as it isn't bug abusing (for example as it was on Antica on mini world change when one guy to disturb others blocked a boss room till SS what was obviously bug abusing because he was supposed to get kicked from the room)

What you can do is only report his/their statements when they say something that might violate the rules.

Greetings!

i didn't felt the need to clarify this but maybe it is needed.

I'm not looking for ways to report someone I know that Cipsoft allow a lot of stuff that hinder the player gameplay, I'm looking for A LIST of stuff that hinder player gameplay.

Example: phishing, scamming, Gambling, KS, PK, threatening, game interactions (as boss locking, mass log, etc), trap bombs and so on.

The idea is to give average/new player an idea of what they could find in tibia and how to deal with it.
