Back in 2010, I was camping Hadden on my Wizard. I was at that camp for 72 hours straight, when prolonged period of inactivity would get you booted back to login. I never got the earring before I passed out at the keyboard and lost the camp.

Failed final combine on coldain shawl and Garzicor quest on the same toon within the same month, both trivial.

(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

In the past fifteen hours I unexpectedly finished my druid's epic while fucking around in Chardok when someone gave me a free Kedge Keep MQ and brokered a cheap sale for the VSR MQ, went to bed, then woke up and won my first ever scout roll.

On a kedge phinny kill i was on enduring breath duty as a druid. That was my only job. We didnt know to use pets only etc.
I kept everyone alive who was dispelled!
Except me.
We failed. I blamed the ranger.

Having a winning 883 roll at angry goblin after spending over 100 hours there only to have someone roll a 886 on the 10th and final second that a roll was allowed.

about 8000 PHs to get guardian's robe in Skyshrine. took about 6 months of active camping

That's known to be a very very long camp though. You think your experience is representative of that camp or you got it way worse?

was in a family guild and in the rules it stated that 100dkp was the max bid on a item, it had never come up before until VS dropped wizzy staff, so i had to /roll random 100 for my epic piece even though i had more dkp than the other guy. lost the roll, left the guild and didn't finish my epic until like 4 years later.

Back in my Europa days I'll always remember something similar. There was an established guy who'd been in the guild a long time and an item dropped that he needed. I think it was an epic piece, it was tradeable whatever it was, and him and another guy needed it who'd been in the guild less than a month.

The officers told them to roll, established guy loses roll and starts complaining AFTER the roll. Then there was pressure for new guy to give it to established guy not just from the bitching guy that lost but from the officers as well. New guy was reluctant, I backed him up saying it was fair and square... and yeah the new guy said it wasn't worth it in the end and handed it over.

I think he left the guild a few weeks later. He definitely stopped raiding with us. Sad.
