Whoa! Atomos! Long time man!

A couple of questions spring to mind. Did the wizard in question talk to you to let you know he had engaged the Mob and would you kindly desist from kill stealing from him? If not you have to ask why not.

And why is there no room for common sense?

If the AC had 100% xp when you engaged, how had the Wizard done damage? I thought the rule was that you had to have done damage to get FTE, and not simply snare. Unless it had already regened, in which case it seems like the wizard was stalling.

Also agree with Lodd - if the mob was 100% hp and didn't contact you before you killed it, then this stinks.

This is why this all seems fucky.

100%Hp Mob when bard attacks it, no mention of it attacking someone else or running towards someone

Wizard just silently petitions (or so we are told) to GMs to which loot is handed over later.

Can't say for sure that a 31 Wiz could of Solod it without actually seeing someone do it. However if the Wizard was level 1 would the situation be different? If so is the level of the player just a judgement call for the situation?

Obviously not getting the full story on this one, yet it is the Wizards loot, no matter how shitty this seems.

So all I need to know to make a decision is... Did the wizard have a dozen red wood wands ? Because if he did it would be very easy for him to camp that AC at 31. Not that the OP doesn't have a point about it being bad etiquette by the wizard if he was indeed camping it. All we have is just the OP's word that he was camping it and got screwed at this point. When that wizard could have thought he was camping it too preparing to kill it.

This is just one of those camps that you should know going into it you're going to have an even or better chance at getting screwed, because the rules allow for it. I camped SRo AC for all of my alts and as soon as it was patched I knew this kind of crap would happen so never bothered after the patch.

This is exactly the way it is which absolutely blows. This camp is a great way for casuals to not only get their jboots, but to get them 10 or 15 levels before getting in line at OOT. Oh wait, in theory that's how it should work, but it usually ends up like this. You sit in Sro completely alone until around 8pm. At this point be prepared for about 2-3 50+ druids and wizards to port in with an occasional bard. They will then continue to run around the zone like they've been there all day. The chances of the lvl 40 melee, who has been apparently not camping the mob for the last couple hours, engaging the mob before the 5 other high levels with sow/track/selos/etc. is pretty slim to none.

Simple : Have a GM spawn a random AC and have that lvl 31 wiz try to kill it. If he dies trying to solo it, take away his ring/boot and give it to the bard.

Easy .

P.S. I do think the bard should get the AC ring. I've seen that bard camp that AC for like 3days in a row.

This Trial by Combat. If the wiz can kill the AC by himself he gets the ring if not it goes to the bard. Whats to stop people from tagging open camp mobs that they might not be able to kill, let someone else kill itthen complain to a gm/guide that they FTE the mob and should get the loot.
