From what i've heard about Aion, i'm about 80% sure that i'll be spending most of my time in the Dangerous and Dark place known as the Abyss. However, i've been thinking... If the Abyss is essentially the place where exp rates are the highest and PvP is FFA (Free For All) then this might cause a few problems.
For example, imagine you're leveling your Character in the abyss, watching your back as much as you can, but also making sure you dont get killed by the mob. Surely there is a possiblity that whilst killing this mob, another player could come and attack you, and put you to within an inch of your life, only to be killed by the mob and not the player (intentionally, or by accident), thus losing your hard earned xp?. Now some people see that as acceptable, and thats just the way the game is. Others will find that incredibly frustrating..
Pesonnally im not too bothered either way, i'll play the game as it was made to be played and thats enough for me. But im interested in what other people think, as i havent seen it discussed anywhere else...
just something to think about
(P.S: i did a search of the forum but didnt see anything on this issue. If its been raised already, i apologise
