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.

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.

And the punishment for some jerk who comes in, claims you were afk camping, and proceeds to steal the spawn is ... [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

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.

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.

Conflict? I think I found the issue.
