Brilliant advice. Don't, you know, do that thing you were going to do anyway (ie. get experience), in a place that could give you an amazing item ...

Again, brilliant advice.
Plenty of people farm plat while XPing instead of the items themselves, especially when the item is quite rare. You'll probably farm 5k killing guards for XP before you get a Ring drop. Typically speaking you can get at least 200pp an hour on guards. So 25 hours plat farming for a guaranteed 5k and XP vs probably at least 25 hours camping the ring, while maybe getting nothing.

I made tens of thousands of plat killing guards for XP between my Shaman and SK.

It's 100% fine if someone wants to camp Goblin Ring while they are leveling up to 25 or so. I am not sure where you read me saying it was a bad idea. That doesn't mean you are going to get a Goblin Ring though. You can read the forums and see people who camped the ring while leveling and didn't get it. If that happens to you you'll need to either farm the item without XP, or get plat from somewhere to buy the ring.

Anyone else wanna tell DSM why no one's gonna be using Lumi Staff in SolB, Chardok, Perma bears, or Kedge?
Another prime example of Bcbrown not reading my posts lol. It's painfully obvious you aren't trying to have a conversation here. I saw your attempted gotcha there, and already replied to it:

In the case of being indoors, you can use ES Arms instead. Remember you are getting the mob down to a few hundred HP before breaking charm. Even Drones of Doom will finish off a mob that low in a few ticks after a 300 damage nuke while you med up or prep the next kill.
Please stop spamming the thread for gotchas.
