Altering mobs for Fun and (preventing) Profit

[Oxygen]

10-20cm ingame would be only a runners feet and i don't think a mob with a spray and pray weapon would be helpful, the problem with aoe in close combat is the mobs are going to kill themselves which could be exploited also. Maybe the mobs should simply think and if they can't hurt the enemy then they should simply retreat and give them a heal more powerful as single person could do damage.

seems like this could be abused to kill LE'd vs non LE'd runners very very easily... also I dont think npc's can hurt one another or themselves

Would be enough to counter the standard safespot technique. Can't explain more here, of

and i don't think a mob with a spray and pray weapon would be helpful,

Who said anything about spray-and-pray? There can still be plenty of variety in mob attacks - near enough as much as now even, allowing for technical limitations.

That's already taken care of. Damage dealt by mobs (or players who have left the zone) doesn't count towards rewards - that applies to cash and loot. If a mob is 90% killed by other mobs, then the player will only get 10% loot and cash.

Maybe the mobs should simply think and if they can't hurt the enemy then they should simply retreat and give them a heal more powerful as single person could do damage.

I can see that making trying to do things like MC5 awful.

Eh, you go AFK in levelling areas, you're own grave. And it's not like useless or deliberatly obstructive people don't exist in caves etc already, this doesn't seem to me like it would really give them any more tools against somebody who was actually paying attention.
