Literally would go to an empty channel and not more than 2 minutes later I'll have someone in there KSing me. I've offered sharing the map, but they just KS instead. I've offered to party with them even and they ignore it and just keep KSing. Idk if it's the new players who don't know how to be polite, or the old ones being butt munchers but something has to change.

Also, I believe it is happening more right now because it is an extremely busy time in reboot server. I'd wager some of those people people just grow impatient after cycling through all channels to no avail and resort to stomping through some chosen player's already taken maps. It gets very bad during 2X exp...and it always seems like the one I see cycling through 2-4 times lands in MY channel to park and tag/KS all of MY mobs. I know the frustration, buddy.
Far as it goes with Nexon doing something about it? I think successfully policing KSers would be a very tricky business because there are just way too many of them, and each one has its own individual case with so many variables involved to make a solid decision on who is really at fault. There could be ways of doing it efficiently and accurately, but unfortunately, I believe it's just too impractical for a company such as Nexon to invest the time/energy/funding to the grand task of pursuing every case of KSing. I think if they could do more about it, they already would have after 10+ years of KSing being so commonplace.
Final thought: I believe KSing is something we just have to deal with. Personally, the best thing I've found to counteract the problem is join a guild to party level with. But even with that in place, KSers gonna KS.
They use to ban kill-stealers in the past if you go back far enough. They realized it wasn't worth the time and effort to simply ban people and instead usually say "try sharing a map". That isn't possible in today's game since most party play areas or mechanics have either been removed or nerfed to the point where it is no longer viable. This is the reasons why most of the population prefers to solo in most situations due to having additional benefits.
The problem with training areas is simply that there isn't enough good ones and for Reboot's case there isn't enough channels even if they introduce new areas. I can guarantee you this will happen when they release parts of Arcane River. If it's noticeably better, the horde will jump at it.
This is one of the reasons why I quit Reboot. The other reason being is that I've already settled in Scania since near the beginning of time.
The thing that made it extra annoying is that the behavior is treated as okay, as like was said before, Nexon believes it's just sharing the map and that it's okay. Clearly it ain't sharing the map if he's over 5 times my level and full clearing it because it's small.
I ended up thinking on DB anyways. Thanks for the tip though.
