I had concerns about this when the news post dropped; I don't think users should be able to negatively influence how my energy bar functions (it's easily abusable; blocking users doesn't prevent them from attack you so being mobbed by people who have rabies is definitely a real thing). Even if it is 20sb-- that's a bone marrow a day in order to correct the problem and seeing as people can give you rabies multiple times a day and you can only buy one marrow...

I've already been attacked consistently by one user who seems determined to give me rabies when they get it and I'm not only losing my energy but I'm losing my event currency.

This is not fun to wake up to. I want to focus on gathering beetles, not having to check my lion for rabies every hour because one player is being a jerk because staff pretty much gave them the go-ahead. Energy should not be touched, ever.

Thanks for coming to my Ted-talk.

You can attack 2 levels lower than you and there's no upper ceiling I think. Like I said, dont do much PvP.

I can understand why this would be infuriating, but I also understand that some users actively want rabies, so turning off the spreading may not be the best idea... what about a toggle on a player's side to 'turn on/off' the ability to contract rabies via being attacked?

I think it would be better if there was a limit to how many times you could be given rabies via spreading during the whole month. So not just per player, but maybe only once per rollover and not while the user is offline?
I'm not sure how to go about that, but I do like being able to spread rabies like you actually would irl (sorta)

If you need help with devil's claws, i have a bunch saved up from past events i could give you

I feel because it does have an impact on the players just having the option to disable it wouldn't be fair. There would be no reason for people to leave it on if that's the case.
The mechanic itself would have to be changed or something?

If people don't want to be infected by rabies, they shouldn't be forced to. It's different with an NPC because there's always that risk when you fight a rabid animal (you can choose not to do it).

However, this person kept attacking me and even after me blocking them, there doesn't seem to be any course of action except sit here and deal with it.

I wasn't disagreeing with you and saying it should be left the way it is.
I'm saying that as a 'main' function in an event shouldn't be able to be disabled on some players and not on others.
If it's fundamentally not working and can be abused it should be changed overall and not just partially. Kinda like sweeping the dirt under the rug haha

Has anyone been getting rabies more frequently lately? I've been exploring less, but I've gotten rabies maybe like 10+ times in the last two days.

No support.
Some people make entire games based on spreading rabies. Maybe you could simply have a checkbox on the event page next to turn off all event activity, that disables other players from giving you rabies in battles.

Why should I have to turn off my event activity because you all are making a game of something? Sounds selfish.

Turning off the event is pointless when you actually want to play the event. I want to play and get event items just like everyone else. I shouldn't be told "oh just turn off the event" bc some idiots think it's funny.

Precisely. What kind of argument is that?

I also hide event activity when I go to bed so I don't have to wake up with it. It's kinda sad that that's what it has to come down to.
