Rule 3: Respect the forum purpose and structure

- Do not post Facebook information about other forum users.

- Do not spam users on the forums or through private messages.
- Do not start a thread without actual purpose.
- Do not start a thread about a news story or article unless you make it clear what the story is about, and offer your own opinion to start a discussion.

Rule 8: Respect your account
- Do not share your account information with other individuals. You will be held responsible for any rules violations that occur under your account.
- Do not create new accounts or use other tricks to avoid suspensions or bans.
- Do not create ‘sock puppet’ accounts – multiple accounts created just so that you can agree with yourself and make it seem like your ideas have more support than they do.

Rule 9: Respect the Moderators
- Do not post using the color red. This color is reserved for moderators.
- Do not impersonate moderators. Do not claim to speak for the moderators.

- Do not argue with moderators about moderator decisions. You can disagree with a moderator’s opinions, just like any other poster, but when they post moderator actions in red text, it is considered final.
- Moderators have no access to your game account. If you have an issue you must contact customer service.

Generally, BE NICE. There is nothing wrong with being nice to each other.

    Kael is right and I shouldn't respond to this but it's been awhile since I got on the forum and this seems to be a reoccurring theme. Amanda, it's simple, PM them to attack the dragon else remove them from your army. Problem solved.

      I'm not concerned about vultures anymore as I have a team that slayed a Gold Dragon within 3 hrs and an Emerald Dragon in 1hr 20 mins.

      The Captain of the team has the team on a Facebook user list so he can send a link of the Dragon Quest via Facebook's messaging application directly to the team. Thereby only notifying the team of the Dragon Quest.

        Alundra, deleting the vulture from the summoners army does nothing - that vulture stays in the damage list. The summoner is also going to delete that person from the summoner's FB friend list and see what happens - I will keep you posted.

          they do get something even with that 1 hit.. i tried experimenting on it.. i hit 3 dragons once and left it there..

          on one gold dragon i got:
          2 fire elementals
          and 1 phoenix...

          on a blue dragon
          2 malekus demi pts
          2 markets

          and on another blue
          2 wisp
          and a barbarian

          all of which i did less than 400 damage... hmm
          the solution alundra gave seems to work..still the best way to ward of vultures is to stop broadcasting your dragon relentlessly..find friends - join a group or a team.

            Since he can hit the dragon three times every fifteen minutes he would get an ok damage rate if the fight last for some hours.

              or stop doing lame retarded research like this and passing it off as "informational". Did you really need to test it 3 times? I think you are just trying to pass off your vulturism as "research" so ppl won't make fun of you. Be happy with your small rewards I guess...

                As far as I can tell, rewards seem to be a function of the damage done plus some random factor. At least, people getting in one hit seem to get less than 5 rewards. People doing 200K+ seem to get more than 15 rewards.

                That doesn't mean it did nothing. The question I have is whether removing the vulture from the summoner's army prevents him from coming back to collect the rewards. This would be a purely destructive vengeance tactic, however. The summoner gains nothing (and potentially loses out by orphaning an attacker slot if the summoner deletes them too early), but the vulture might lose the rewards.

                That stops working as people get more stamina and groups get more organized. For example, if the dragon dies within 5 hours (which has been happening with several slaying groups), a 3-stamina character is very unlikely to do more than 20K damage.

                  nothing wrong with doing a little research to show a flawed feature... p.s, im an active dragon slayer - just so you know..

                  i bet you'll even try to do "vulturism" now when you hear i got a favor point for one.

                    I myself only help those who request aid, If the call to arms pops up I go. But only up to 3 at a time. I do almost 30000 of damage when my stamia is maxed. As to the vultures let them feed. Then hunt them down an kill them.

                        It's funny you mention that and I have been meaning to post something about this. At first I was kind of understanding about the "vulture" thing but now I do it all the time. I have 37 stamina, I will focus on one until it is dead (power attack it 6 or 7 times every time I am filled up) then with my remaining 2 go find two dragons and attack once. Why? Because the only things I ever need (except for the ingredients for that helm) are ALWAYS given to me (very easily I might add) when I only do the "vulture" thing. This includes Favor Points, Dragonbanes, and Dragon Charms. Anything you are awarded soldier wise is worthless once you have the money to afford Phoenixs and Dragons, Dragonbanes are better than Gladiator Swords, and Dragon Charms are magic. So my question is, why not "vulture" if you are getting more things you need that way? Hell I don't even know if I have EVER gotten a damn Favor point when I have attacked for over 50,000 damage. So until the "error" in the game (which is what I call it) gets fixed I am going to continue right on doing it and collecting FAVOR POINTS, DRAGONBANES, and DRAGON CHARMS (things that will actually still help me in battle)!

                          I'm a little confused at the notion of "easy-mark" dragons and whatnot. Pretty sure we just took down a dragon with less than a dozen people in <20 hours. Is it even possible to fail?

                          /sarcasm

                          Edit: I just realized that a Red, for example, is far far far harder to kill than a Frost, scratch complaint. :]
