It's really quite amazing how much traction this post generated.

All i can say is well done, the forums actually seems alive for a moment here.

Ok back to the post.. if you are complaining about plunder, then clearly you do not understand how this game works.
There are 2 ways to deal with plunderers effectively:

1. Avoid them, do your SS convoy in the last 10 mins or AFTER time is up..

What i mean by that is that you can even convoy after the event time is over, for example pick up SS convoy at 8.50pm and you can deliver it by 9.20pm.

If you notice that they are still waiting for your plunder, just do S mission instead to spite them. You have effectively wasted the maximum amount of their time, congratulations!

2. Join the top 2 group to get REAL SUPPORT.

If your group doesn't have a player strong enough to defeat plunders, then you are simply in the wrong group. Always join the top 2 groups, you are just asking for trouble if you make or stay in your own group because you will remain as food for the big groups.

Last thing i want to say is plundering is the minimum requirement for f2p. If you don't plunder and don't cash, then you have basically resigned yourself to be one of the bottom-feeders of your server.

And i wholly agree with what PraiseLuka said, plunder is a return on investment for cashers. However, this returns on investment is also available for f2p players for absolutely free, so why would you not take advantage of that?

Now that you have seen the truth about Naruto Online, it is time to quit your crappy server and start fresh on a new server.

Hi please do not be naive, this game is player vs player(PVP). it's natural practice to beat up players weaker than yourself while you get beaten up by whales.

It's what the devs want, pay up $$$ for a shortcut to get ahead in this game and if you want to stop losing and start winning.

It is a fact you cannot compete without that 4500 coupons a month, because there other players are doing it. Therefore it is the norm to plunder if you want to compete with them.

Conversely, if you do not plunder, then assuming you do not get plundered, you get 35 X 30 = 1050 coupons. Over a period of 6 months, the plunderer has 3450 X 6 = 20700 coupons more than you. Imagine what you could buy with that.

The conclusion is that you need to plunder to compete as a F2p or even moderate spender.

Your next point on removing coupon plunders isn't that bad a thing as it levels the playing field. However, plunders are an added incentive for being strong and if that were removed, then there is less incentive for players to recharge.

It's the law of the jungle, plunder or be plundered. Only the strongest will survive the culling of the weak and enter into a merger months after their server is dead.

Hi bro, by doing the SS at the end of the convoy timing, there is a good chance that the plunderers have finished plundering yes?

Usually when they are finished, these plunderers will be hanging out in town with their red names. So if you do not see them, then they are probably still trying to plunder yes?

Try to play smart, don't be the first to convoy when the predators have not been fed and are hungry for kills. If the predator is hiding and you cannot see him, then that's a warning sign that he s stalking you yes?

Hi, plunder does not close at event time because plunderers can still plunder as long as you are doing convoy. Just yesterday i plundered someone trying to be smart at 2.28pm as I saw him running out of town by chance.

However, there's a much higher chance of success using this strategy because most plunderers are done by this time. This may not work if you are on a really dead server and the plunderer can count his victims on 1 hand.

Don't forget there is a level limit of 15 levels which may be the reason why the strong player could not plunder your group mate.

I'm not sure staying at a low level to be safe from plunders is the right way to play this game lol....

When you have "enough" power, everyone will be 30 levels higher than you and you will have no targets to plunder.
