Okay, let’s me try one more time. I know I’m going to cover some old ground here, but you dodged my question. So, I need to explain why the question is important to our discussion.
Okay, you assert that kills with NPC’s on them being labeled as solo kills cheapens the solo tag. People responded with various arguments, one of which included: “solo” only refers to whether other players are on the kill, and not whether NPC’s are on the kill.
You then asserted that the solo tag should take NPC help into consideration, and that there should definitely be a line where if the NPC is doing most of the damage, players shouldn’t get credit. Others then responded with things like (1) NPC’s can actually be more of hindrance than a help because of their tendency to switch agro to the attacker, (2) people should get credit for the kill because the kill wouldn’t have happened without their actions, and (3) that damage percentages for kills will factor in damage done by the rats before the hunters even arrived on grid. This is important, because you seem to be failing to account for this quirk in the killmail reporting system, which is leading you to discount the crucial role hunters play in kill prey, and liken what they do more to whoring on NPC kills.
And, so, that is why I asked if you understand this quirk in the killmail reporting system. It undermines one of your arguments, and you seem to be dodging people’s attempts to bring it up. In fact, you straight up quoted my attempt to ask you about it, and still failed to answer the question.
So, yeah, that’s generally how arguments work. People make points, and then others make counterpoints. And if you don’t like their counterpoint, you should ignore it… no wait… not that. I mean you should address their counterpoints. And, if you find their argument persuasive, possibly even change your mind.
Also, thank you for etymology lesson. Did you know that the etymology of the word “etymology” comes from the greek “etymologia”, which means study of the history of a word.
Do you get it now ?*
