Discussion: Play Nice (Training, Bind Camping)

[Vohl]

Here are some thoughts about border cases.

So what happens if someone jumps you while you're a FD class engaged with mobs? FD dumps them on your attackers, in effect training them. I think this is acceptable.

What if a pet class attacks you in a dungeon and you have fear/blind prepped? Sending the pet off to die at the hands of nearby monsters, who then jump the pet caster also seems acceptable. The pet caster can dump the pet if he doesn't like what's happening.

Running away into a room packed full of mobs using invis or FD also seems fine by me. Anyone chasing you would in effect just be training themselves.

Attacking a group that has mezzed mobs in camp, and breaking their mezzes is another matter. In effect, you're sabotaging their CC, causing the enchanter or bard in the group to take an XP death in pretty short order. This seems to be wrong; killing the bard or enchanter while mobs are in camp would have a similar effect.

In more general terms, causing another player to take an XP death from mobs strikes me as wrong and harmful to the game. At the same time, enforcement looks very labor-intensive, if not downright impossible.
