Default Dear PLers

Dear PLers who take a super-popular dungeon spot during peak hours and refuse to give it up for a full group looking to EXP there and politely asking for the spot:

What's your deal?

Alright, rant time. "normal people or groups"... so high level people are not normal people? This is the same liberal, "the world needs to accommodate me and make my life easier" bullshit that the government is spewing all the time (in America). (Where "spread the wealth" means hardworking people need to spread their hard-earned profits to support the welfare assholes that have no interest in earning their own way).

So a high level person worked hard, leveled up, and now wants to enjoy the game with the power that he earned - and that makes not a normal person? That means s/he has less rights to any given camp than anyone else because they didn't take the time and work as hard?

Most high level people are pretty nice, in my exp, about sharing camps. I know I am if you approach me about it politely. But this sense of entitlement because we are high level and you are not, therefore we owe you something, gets zero respect from me.

Bingo.

Don't know about others, but ask nicely, and I'll be on my way. "Demand" that I move? Uh, no. Who the hell are you, and why should I accomodate you when you clearly have no respect?

Sir, if you read the OP, you'd see that I specifically said I asked politely.

Your beef is not with me. I would have moved along when asked politely.

Some other people in this thread, however, seem to indicate that they have a right to -demand- that PLers be on their way. They don't. If someone walked up to you and said "you're PLing, we want xp, gtfo right now", would you move for them?

If it's super popular, then it makes sense that you probably would get into a group there in the first place, because it'd be full, right?

Maybe instead of relying on one camp in one dungeon, you could try exping in less populated zones like the inside of MM Castle, or Kedge (past the entrance), or Paw, or LGuk Live side, or Permafrost. All of those spots are typically at full spawn even during peak hours.

I have 0 sympathy for complaints regarding farmers or PLers taking primetime grind spots solely because you could be doing the inside of Kedge for twice the exp and half the hassle of any of the common grind spots.

Well I tested this theory today 6 hours in MM LFG and guess what even though there were enough people in MM to form a couple of groups not one formed.
No Matter how much you would like to think it is as easy as going there and hooking up a group it is just not gonna happen because not enough people want to go there.
So Less populated zones do not help in the quest for EXP as there are no groups to be had
