saying that clicking and running is against the rules is crazy.
there's nothing on the Halloween Event post on the main page of the site to indicate you must fight the mobs you spawn. In fact, there are probably ways that the devs can make it so you have to do just that.
the way the game works allows you to click and run and get a whole convoy of beasties at your tail chasing you through the streets and right into other players.
of course, it's rude as hell, and i'd like to think that most of us wouldn't do it, but there's nothing i see in the EULA that says you can't do it.
i've been a victim to this myself and it's annoying, but i've also clicked a few doors and ran myself. when i did it i did run towards some nice purple police drones mind you, or earlier today i clicked a couple doors next to a full team whom i'd helped clear up a previous mob. i ran but i'm sure that 8 characters could handle my single toon's mob a heck of a lot better than he could (ta/a defenders are not really designed with ToT-or any kind of solo play for that matter-in mind)
so-is it a crappy thing to do? yes
is it against the rules? no

It is against the rules when the person is trying to get you killed by their mob, which the guy who did it to us was doing.
That's called griefing and it's covered in the rules.
It's interesting that the people who have less of a problem with this are the same people who say they do it but that they 'drag the mob over to a drone'.
Very interesting.

It is if your constantly running said mobs into another group or player.

Or repeatedly doing it to the same player over and over again.

Repeated, targetted CnR undoubtedly is a "harrassment".
You click "agree" every time you start the game.
ok, sure, purposely dragging a mob towards someone isn't on. and doing it again and again is being a dick. i wouldn't do that and would expect action to be taken if i did.

And I was greated with there is no problems replys from many on that subject and have discontinued that avenue of discussion at GhostRapors request, however I feel about the subject.

My reply in that thread was merely to indicate that reporting griefing behaviour to us directly via /petition is a good thing to do. That doesn't preclude constructive discussion of griefing behaviour on the forums, as long as that discussion remains within the forum rules.
This particular thread ... is being closed because it has not remained within those rules.
