Piping, lord, thats a good question...
Ok. Look. I think piping is legit. But, I think it sucks because you are not exerting as much efort as a person who is cryin their eyes out cuz they did the ultimate forest 58 times and didn't find a single rare creature.(But I found like 10 DISKA OF BRAVEMAN) :'(

As ST suggest it themselves, I will say yes.

Fabo Craven Wrote:would you consider piping legit? i know most people here do but i think it is just cheating the system. if someone plays for 10 hours to find a weapon off a rare enemy and you just pipe for 2 hours and get it. its just unfair and makes weapon not as rare as they should be.
i agree,
i used to do it, although i always saw it as a form of cheating in my own weird and wonderful little world, i decided to stop and do runs instead, seems to work, and you have the chance of finding rares from other enemies too, and you actually get some experience

Well, thanks to BB there is no piping for anyone! And you know, your not putting yourself at an advantage by doing it, considering how widely suggested and accepted it is even among official sources it's others who put themselves at horrible disadvantages by not doing it.

I don't really care what it is
. If it was considered cheating universally, then perhaps I wouldn't do it. The thing is, I don't have hours and hours or the patients to sit infront of my TV and play PSO just to get some rare . I don't pipe too often, it is very rare for me to pipe (and play ). Besides, it's actually quite boring, annoying and somewhat sorrowful to sit infront of your tv and keep casting Ryuker for a few hours. I usually lose patients and kill something in anger (ingame of course).

I think that it is legitimate, because you're not breaking the rules or altering the code.
However, it is power-gaming - that is, playing the game as a game and exploiting it. However, hunting for rares normally is also power-gaming, so who am I to judge?
I sometimes pipe, but it has never worked for me.

thats fine by me, i accept the fact that i'm putting myself at a disadvantage, makes the game harder and more fun
