Rules Lawyers

I think I'm done camping items for a while. I had another incident today with that damn ass/sup camp. I had been there for a few hours minding my own business. Not killing any other camps. Many people came through, waved and left. Something important in real life came up and I had to afk for 5 mins or so. I wasn't sure how long id be afk so I went down and sat by the ladder, near where drop down hole. I came back 5 mins later and there had been a CC by Afara. I went up the ladder to find him sitting in my camp. So i sent him a tell saying - This is my camp, I had to afk for a few mins, I'm sorry I missed your cc. He responds with doing the rules lawyer bullshit because i was outside the room. It wasn't like i was very far. He claims to have not seen me sitting next to the ladder but i find that really hard to believe because I didn't even invis since i wanted to keep my pet and knew i wasn't gonna be that long. Everything was dead when he showed up and i was sitting in plain sight to anyone who cared to look in the only safe spot to be. Because i was at the bottom of the ladder instead of the top he decides thats a good reason to steal my camp.

He said he only wanted the bag and I told him he could have it since I already had one but that wasn't good enough for him. He told me if I gave him my bag he would go away. I said no because I don't know this guy and he could just take my bag and KS the mob for the belt anyway. I attempted to speak to a guild officer of his hoping to get this sorted out peacefully but there wasn't any on. The supplier spawned and I pulled it. He starts blasting it with undead nukes so I charmed it because i know i can't keep up with his damage. I try to reason with him once again and he refuses to cooperate so i try to kill the mob off on another mob. I'd rather lose the thing then give up without a fight to some guy who wants to bully into my camp. He just kills the mobs that I attacked though so that isn't working. I ran down the stairs and broke the charm and nuked the mob down, he was right behind me and trying to nuke it as well. Mob starts to run and of course pulls a bunch of mobs onto us both. Lucky me of course he can just FD so I die. I'm not saying he pulled a train on me I just want to make that clear before he comes in here and tries to strawman this story. It just happened in the struggle over the mob. Although he should never have been attacking it in the first place.

To all the rules lawyers who are going to support this guy I would like to point out a few technicalities. The room was not spawned it was all dead. The rules state you have to maintain a presence at the camp. It doesn't say you must be inside the room, although for the 2+ hours i was there previously I never left for a second. There is also something about no respect for AFK camping and I'm sure some arsehole will bring that up so I'm gonna respond to that now. I read that rule and it seems like its meant for longterm rather than a single incident of having to walk away from the computer to take care of some personal stuff for a whole 5 mins. It alsodoesn't say its grounds for someone to take you camp for leaving the keyboard for a few mins. I'm sure that wont stop the rules lawyers from sighting that one but not even Afara tried to go there.

Had no other problems with anyone else in the zone and even tried to give that bag away for food and water or even just for free but they kept rotting because nobody came. Most people respect camps but its the few out there that make these camping rules needed because they try to claim entire floors or steal someones camp. I just want to be left alone in peace to do an item camp and not have to worry that if i afk for 5 mins some guy will jack the camp. It's just not worth the stress to me anymore. I think the good people on this server out number the bad by a lot but the bad ones really ruin it for us all and make us all have to stress over camping stuff because of their selfishness. Thx for ruining what had been a nice relaxing camp Afara, I hope Europa is proud of you.
