I remember that poisoning/diseasing corpses was a "bad" thing, although technically possible. I am seeing now that area poisons/diseases are sticking to incapacitated players as well as some single poisons/diseases. Is it considered a legit tactic to single poison/disease someone after they have been incapped for about 25-30 secs, thus making it unlikely that"lag" was at fault and inpossible that they fell into an AOE attack? I cried foul at the moment it happened, but will retract it and issue an apology to the person and PA if this is a legal thing.

i have not heard of this happening before, but if it went down exactly as you said: incapped player JUST about to revive hit with a poison or a disease WHILE incapped to prolong the incapacitation, then it is GREIFING and the player(s) who did this would be warned by a CSR if they saw it happen, and if it happened again, the player(s) would be banned for greifing.

if it was in fact an accident. or due to lag (though 25-30 seconds of lag during combat would make ANY player quit the game quickly) then i imagine that the effect of the poison / disease sticking to the incapped player may have been a side-effect of said lag. i don't know for sure.

i DO know that with all of the cries for Nerf in the CM forum, i have never seen anyone site this as a problem, and i think it would be a BIG one with those who want to tear all professions down rather than build up the broken ones (ie Nerf criers)
