I've been shot at only twice in 2 years on Amethera where it was PVP. First time was sth of New Ox. i was mining the waters edge and i saw the green dot swimming over (quicker if you bother to go for the bridge
). I was about to say hi when i got the opalo shot in the side. I just laughed and kept going.
Second time was just outside pvp4 as I was checking out the new areas around it. I think it was Helene or Helena, one of them, shot me once too. I just laughed also. I think I said something like, whats the point? Anyways it happens that rarely that if someone wants to shoot at me then fine. Whatever gets them off they can do it since its pvp. The amusing thing was I only got shot once on two occasions. None ever followed through.
Only a few occasions on hundreds of mining runs have I ever really been mining when someone else is ever close by. Amethera is too big to have many conflicts and it isn't getting any smaller either.
