WHY TF DO SHARKS AND NON-NPCS PUT ME IN COMBAT??? I’M LEAVING AND THEN THIS DUMBASS SHARK HITS ME AS IM LEAVING, SO THEN WOAH THERE GOES 2 KILLS!!! IT DOESNT EVEN MAKE ANY SENSE? I DONT LOSE INFAMY FOR LOSING TO AN NPC, SO WHY DO I LOSE IT FOR LEAVING? THE FOUNDING FATHERS GAVE ME A RIGHT FOR FREEDOM, AND I SHALL NOT BE OPPRESSED
why are you leaving the game while you’re swimming???
don’t get me wrong, NPCs giving you the same combat tag that combat logs you as players is dumb, I won’t deny that, but what are you doing to cause sharks combat tagging you before you leave to become a persistent issue?
whenever I get hit, I immediately down a waterbreathing potion and swim to the bottom of the ocean
Well if you want to do that, just… don’t leave the game immediately.
Wipe out the nearby sharks and wait for the combat tag to go away, unless your hunter is using a revealing potion you should be near impossible to track down there.
If you’re still worried about sharks just swim over to an island somewhere.
Npc combat logging has always been such a random thing to exist lol, apart from maybe grand navy or NPCs you’re bounty hunting since those actually affect renown
Idk why it matters that I log off while fighting calvus or an Atlantean since those have no impact on anything
yeah but i forget about that and log anyways cuz im stupid
Oh yea also you could brew some shark repel potions.
I don’t exactly know how shark repel works or how effective it is, but it wouldn’t hurt to try.
if a feature exists just to bypass that feature, it shouldn’t exist at all IMO. except potions that avoid combat ofc, cuz you can’t just remove combat
Simple addon to fix this, get 100% swimming speed and as soon as you get hit, start speedrunning to the island over, or even out to the open sea, nothing except a tiger shark or a really fast ship (which needs to be docked, boarded and have its sails turned on)
can catch you
I can agree with this. I love it when the shark that is clearly trying to hunt me for renown dies and then if I leave I am obviously trying to escape having my renown collected by this dead shark in the water. -50k renown. The money I can understand if and only if the npc that you are fighting is not dead when you leave, since that is something that you would lose if you die. Even npcs that can reduce renown only lower it by around 4k anyway, so if it isn’t removed it should be changed to that.
Maybe do not leave the game while in the water 
I remember making a post back when AO released, still not fixed (do you remember the wom tag where you had 2 different combat tags?)
