So, question about server behavior

Follow up question based on your 2cp. Why would a level 60 from a well established raid guild need to act like a jerk over the spawn then? If it should be considered a waste of time for a 35 shaman to try to make money off the spawn, then it shouldn't even be considered at all by a level 60 who raids regularly. Right?

Well, the level 60's can clear the whole camp, so it's a better camp for them. Also, some classes can't solo dungeons like Shaman can, so they're stuck with crappier outdoor spawns.

But generally speaking there probably are better ways those people could be earning plat, and certainly there are better ways than bothering some poor level 35.

Topic is kinda drifting from OP but I don't sit around on my 60s farming plat unless I also need exp. I level new toons WITH AN EYE TOWARDS EARNING MONEY -- that is how I fund my toons. I play my characters to meet people who are skilled, or have the potential to be skilled (I love teaching people how to play well) and of a like mind as myself. Yes I have a fungi, yes I tip well for ports, yes I expect my fair share of goblin ears/CB belts/FS weapons/whatever. Raiding does not make PP for an individual, it actually costs quite a bit.

Not only that.. But I could use 3 or 4 of those goblin earrings.

If I find the goblin on track, and I run up and don't see someone working to engage him, I'm not going to shout asking if anyone is looking for him -- the answer is always yes even if someone is half the zone away. I'm going to kill him. One perspective will be "Well this one guy was killing all the PHs trying to get him" mine is, I walked up, there was no one around, no one sent me a tell about it on engage, my merb.

All about perspective.

I farmed pegi cloaks for myself and, when someone knew I was farming him, they would sometimes tell me where it was. Beleive it or not, it is usually the low levels who snipe it and that is fine -- kinda an asshole move, but meh. These level 60 bards who are farming them for cash, they would bring it TO ME so I could kill it. That is how we build respect. I go far out of my way to help those kind of people and the level 30 who kills it and gets a cloak, that's rough for me but no hard feelings.

This server can be summed up as
"put in more work to be better than me, or get out of my way"

The word work can be loosely translated to , play moar video games

When the server is saturated in level 60's.......

or level 20's in level 60 gear lol.

You're gunna have a bad time.

Petition him for a KS and see what happens, that's about all you can do.

Every mob here is FTE when it comes down it to. If you aren't sitting on top of the spawn and don't engage it immediately someone else can get away with taking it.

I've heard that it needs to be engaged within a "reasonable amount of time" but I've also seen incidents where mobs were stolen because the person who was in the camp didn't react within 10 seconds of the spawn and it being declared by staff that it wasn't a KS.

Since we're in greed-lawyerquest land... !

Can someone shed some light for me on the seemingly retarded situation with regards to dhamp and CY in MM?

Late last night we were killing half the castle, pulling to CY including dhamp for a few hours having a great time ... and then a level 60 bard rolled in and declared that we're not 'allowed' to do both these things and he is within his rights to stroll in and take dhamp.

If we objected, he could petition and force us to choose between dhamp and the other spawns ... apparently. Even though we've been there for hours happily doing our thing, the six of us must choose between exp and dhamp?

That seems pants on head retarded, especially coming from a fucking Bard that probably just came from swarm kiting an entire zone!

If that's true then its fucking retarded that an appropriately levelled exp group can't claim a decent cash spawn as well as exp. The effect seems to be that high levels can roll youngsters at will, because we will need exp more than the drop ... so all names with decent drops can be taken from an exp group at any time by a high level, and it will be enforced by Guides?

He isn't wrong...but all you had to do is claim dhamp. Then, you could kill dhamp and then focus on exp from that cy and castle between phs. It is win win for you...the bard could be a dick and claim some spot in castle that takes some of your exp mobs, but he'd more likely leave or log and check back later.

This can be tricky since a lvl60 can easily camp dhamp at spawn or by sitting on the wall while a grp of lvl appropriate folks might have a hard time holding that camp without risk. I've had a ton of dhamps stolen from me while pulling to CE when group wasn't strong enough to move inside. It helps to keep a timer so that you can be back at dhamp to pull him the instant that he spawns. It also makes it harder for someone to "accidentally" kill him. At that camp you can expect a cc check every 5 minutes as well, just make sure you keep calling it.
