You were afk, an audio trigger isn't a player - seems fine to me.

^^ What he said.

What's your character's name?

[Daldaen]

I fail to see how he forfeits a camp by being afk...

If I'm back to kill the mob when it spawns, its my camp. If I am not back in time to kill the PHer or mobs, then I forfeit the camp I agree.

But afking during a really boring camp that is on a hard timer that you know, doesn't forfeit the camp, atleast it shouldn't cause thats fucking retarded. How does you being at the keyboard twiddling your thumbs help at all? It just makes the game more of a grind and less fun to play. If I can get a camp afk for 15minutes troll the internet then be back to kill the next PHer or namer I don't see any issue with this.

AFK camping is frowned upon, but not explicitly against the rules.

e: just quoting the rules, i don't give a shit

[karsten]

umm, afking between spawns is an everquest tradition dating back over a decade

[Pico]

afk camping is when you afk and have your pet attack a mob, not being afk between spawns. Tinyscare is absolutely out of line in this instance tonight. I dont understand how behavior like this can survive on a server that is suppose to be full of mature EQ nostalgia players.

oops hey you're right

[Benebric]

Other people have already hit the rules quote so..

Maybe set an audio trigger for say too next time? Or check back in the game more often. Yes, long camps suck - and there will be points you have to afk. That's what "/afk POOPING" is for. Hell, even put "/afk I'm alt tabbed out, but I really am here, I have an audio trigger and I should respond to you shortly!" . Then at least the person knows you're really there.


Afk camping sucks, because there are people that are willing sit there for a few hours before a spawn to get it. They are putting in more effort than you to get what they want. Why should they get hosed because you're out watching a movie but your character is there reserving that camp for you.

[Benebric]

and it could be I just have a broader definition of what afk camping is to me than you, and as far as eq nostalgia goes, being there camping something forever was eq.

Frowned upon by whom?

AFK Camping is what you expect with spawns that function like clockwork. Gynok Moltor, a great example. I've camped this one twice once for my cleric and once for my druid. Each time I'd afk then come back with about a minute to spare (i'd check the log file on when I killed each mob... [Thu Dec 16 04:11:00 2010] You have slain Gynok Moltor! would add 16min to it and alt tab back to EQ then)

If some retard rolls in and sits at my camp, I'll say excuse me, I've been here for X hours/spawns, this is my camp. I have logs of the last PHers I've killed if you'd like that also. Usually people leave.

I've come into some camps and sat down, and people have returned the favor and asked me wtf I was doing. If they were there and not afking through spawns I'd gladly leave and come back another time. But you best know if you leave that PHer up for any reasonable amount of time (like 5minutes) I'll be killing it and claiming that camp as my own.

This hostility isn't directed at the dude I quoted btw, as I know you were merely quoting the rules. I just think 'the rules' have gotten people to be megabitches about camping mobs in a game is all.

Just don't be an asshole. That should be the only rule on this server imo.

[Cyrius]

Going afk during repop time is NOT AFK camping. You can AFK during the repop time as much as you want without loosing the right to claim this camp. You claim this camp if you engage the spawning mobs shortly after they spawn and keep the spawn area down.

There is no requirement to respond to anyone realy, besides courtesy.

[Omnimorph]

And the punishment for some jerk who comes in, claims you were afk camping, and proceeds to steal the spawn is ... :)

Ah, good, exactly what I was going to post especially the bolded part! I've added Tinyscare to my watch list.

[Kruel]

why cry about it on a forum when you can just /petition or send a officer of DA a tell. Seems like you just didnt try.

[senna]

mind blowing how many people dont know what AFK camping is ITT

[RocketMoose]

It's good to smear people like this. Better to petition /tell and smear trash like that on the board.

[JayDee]

I afk inbetween PH kills and he comes up to my and in /say asks if im here, i dont reply and he claims that i was afk camping and that i forfeit the camp

Worst case of engRish I have ever seen

[Aadill]

just /petition or send a officer of DA a tell.

Tinyscare is an applicant and I will have a conversation with him unless he happens upon this thread.

The rules about AFK camping are really referring to not being at your computer while having a pet kill everything which has been frowned upon by the server at large and is policed by the server staff (the added XP penalty makes it inefficient, as well). In this case, however, the circumstance was that a rule was misinterpreted by Tinyscare. Being AFK at an empty camp in between spawns still gives you claim because the mobs are dead and I would therefore continue on as usual, or perhaps petition a GM if there is an actual problem of KSing, training, etc.

If you were AFK and the mob(s) is/were up and you haven't done anything then the assumption that you were AFK would be fair and the camp's possession would be passed along. Common courtesy suggests to leave the camp alone but with the misinterpretation of the rule and the result of the interaction of Tinyscare, I can see the need to vent some frustration. However, please feel free to contact Appollo, Durison, Muse, or myself at any time before coming to the forums.

i dont reply and he claims that i was afk camping Even though i returned for the next PH kill. After i told him i had audio triggeres on both /tell and hits you, he does not reply back and continues to be a dick about it.

Conflict? I think I found the issue.

[Slathar]

Cry more, maybe next time your tears will drown him, pussy.

[Shannacore]

To the earlier post about petitioning and contacting DA. I did contact a DA officer and they basically told me too bad.

WTB SS

[Kruel]

I love Everquest

[Dordolekk]

I offered to give him the jagged ring so we can let it go.. and this wasnt good enough.

Wait, this is over a jagged band?

MOderator pls delete this thread

MOderator pls delete this thread

Don't delete this. We had a guide weigh in on the issue. When it happens again, it would be nice to be able to quote some precedence.
