So, question about server behavior

[Champion_Standing]

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.

definitely. narc these mother fuckers out!

PS... OP... name&shame, please

Not happening, for the same reason I decided not to petition it. It's just a game in the end, someday the server will shut down and all these pretty pixels will be lost to the black space in the internet microcosm.

Thank you all for your opinions and explanation of the server rules. I wasn't sure if CC's were binding, or what constituted "camping" a mob. This helps clear up what I need to do in order to legally "camp" a spawn or area.

First off, I agree with everyone here: while it sounds like those people were technically playing by the rules (because technically you couldn't hold the whole camp and Grachnist could spawn anywhere) they were definitely being jerks.

But that being said, here's the real problem: what are you doing hunting Grachnist in the first place? As a Shaman you really don't need gear yet (other than the random drops you pick up while XPing). At 45 you'll want to get yourself a JBB, and then you will want to earn plat, but by then you'll be able to do hill giants, town guards, farm rare drops in places like Drooga and LGuk, etc.

The point is, you'll be able to earn plat even better when you're 45, and until then you don't really need plat, so why make yourself miserable fighting over some annoying goblin? Just go XP, have fun, and by the time you need plat you'll be able to get it without having to put up with this nonsense.

Just my 2cp.

Thanks for the advice, I may do this. I was just bored of killing Sarnaks for xp in LOIO, and decided to take a break and try for a cash drop that could earn 1-2k.

Your logic is sound, and I will most likely adhere to that course of action when I log back in this evening. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

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.

oh, so now all bards are "probably" swarmers?

such stereotyping :[

if this wasn't my son's wedding day, i'd knock you teeth out you anti-bardite bastard

[scythic]

If you just claim dhamp he's not going to clear your exp trash mobs. When I was in MM two days ago though there was a Druid tracking to every named and killing them as they spawned, from the caitiff to the princess and maid and butler, regardless of who had which camp claimed.
Better to get exp and worry about loot later rather than deal with these high level characters that camp 200 platinum Nightshade Wreaths. Just weak players in my opinion with no imagination on how to spend their time in game.

Great thread laughed hard. Good times.

[picklefixer]

I just got done with Grach myself a few days ago...spent 4 days there to get an earring....i think i saw 1 CC called the entire time, even though a lot of people showed up wanting the Grach camp.

And unlike most of the douchebags i take off /anon once i reach my camp as a courtesy to other players, so they dont waste their time running out there...and im a 59 drood.

I had just come from several days spent in Droga as well camping soothy, where i think i did see 1 or 2 CC's there....even though shitloads of people showed up at my camp.
