So, I don't think this is something that comes as a big shock to people, but we need to have a talk about rampage threads and the big issue with them. It seems as if no one is responding to try and stop the hollows from rampaging. I have currently done two rampage threads and I've had to personally ooc seek out people to try and stop my hollow. I also see this happening with other rampage threads. I personally hate the fact that such a cool concept like this is essentially going to be ignored by most and used by hollows to level up fast. My personal thought is that the biggest issue most have with this sort of thread is the fact that it's DP. This will instantly stop a majority of characters from entering in to try and stop a hollow that they don't know that they can win against. So most won't be actually excited in going against a hollow with the chance that their character will be hurt permanently. Personally I think that something needs to be done in order to make rampage threads more appealing to other rper's in order to stop hollows.
The biggest thing I could see would be to remove the DP requirements from rampages, this would allow anyone to throw in their character without fear of permanent damage. My other idea which could be implemented along side removing the DP would be to offer a larger reward to someone who stops a hollow from going on the rampage. It could be ryo, raw TP or even a custom item unique to the user. The last one I don't see being a thing given that it would be too much of a hassle to deal with, however getting extra ryo or raw tp based on the class of the hollow could entice people enough to risk their character to enter a rampage thread, because that's what this boils down to people risking their character in a thread. Mind you this is coming from me a hollow rper wanting rampage threads to be more inviting for others to jump into. I would love to hear what other people think about this.
