rude to vendor in solB?

[lethstang]

when i say vendor in solB, its at the most once per hour, for LITERALLY two minutes. gate to LS, sell, run straighht back in. It does not slow exp. It does not waste peoples time. People are just too touchy.

I agree tho if its messing with exp flow then I wouldnt be all about it. Once the camps broken and youre pulling singles, there is no reason not to take turns vendoring.

Unless you already got your gear and money from other toons and you dont care about other people and all you care about is that for 3-5mins tops your group is going to function at slightly less than optimal efficiency. Thats very rude to people that their xp will be slightly slower for 3-5mins once in a while, just so that people who roll their first toon can get some startup money, very rude indeed.

Group with people who aren't assholes?

Not everyone has several max toons or the time to farm plat. As long as you arent a loot whore and only once an hour or so (carry some bags with you) then I see no problem with that. People have to make money so they can progress, especially those that just started recently. If the group has a problem, try to work it out. If they still do, then dont sell and grind with them, you can manage not looting for 1 play session. Your next group might not have any problem with it.

Those that say it limits exp are ridicolous. 5 minutes of your time is not going to have any effect in the long term of maxing your character out so you can be the LEETest mamma jamma on the server. If you are worried that it hinders you, think for a moment, that allowing other people the chance to gain bigger profit = a stronger community of other plays which can influence a stronger gameplay with the community. Of course, that type of mentality is few and far between I guess.

And yes, taking bathroom breaks, shower breaks (never heard that until now but whatever), food, phone, or whatever else is the same thing essentially. You lose a member for a small amount of time. As long as it is ASKED before hand, there should be NO problem.

Unfortunately I say it depends on what your group makeup is. If you have one healer and they want to go off and sell, it leaves your group in a bit of a predicament. If you have back up healers etc. then I see no problem with it.

what ticked me off was this.

i had been running royals for a good five hours one morning, i went LD, came back, and another member had reinvited everyone. Then him and his guildmate told me i was rude to vendor, and if i did it again theyd kick me from the group because "they were the leader now". It just put a very sour taste in my mouth, who DOES that?

I agree with LS runs, I used to make my groups, pull, tank, and I would tell them "room pops in 5min, im seeling real quick". Nobody had any problem with me running my group, and I allowed the the same curtiousy.

To the guy who posted you need to bathroom and smoke but not vendor, do you feel "EQing" is more important than enjoying the game? I've had people tell me they don't loot because they're too weighted/full already - its RUDE not to let them take 3 minutes and sell.

As a cleric who has VERY rarely ever been given plat for the dots I use in group, if someone thought it was rude for me to sell they can go jump ... it's rude to expect clerics to shell out their plat with no ability for compensation.

Hell if people can make 20plat back why not let them! As long as it's communicated to the group and it's not going to cause a wipe I fail to see the issue.

Hey guys I was hoping to get your opinion. For the past week ive done royals/bnb etc. Most times we would take turns gating to LS to vendor and running back in. It worked like clockwork.

Today im in royals, and after a bit i was informed id be kicked if i vendored during group because it was insanely rude. I...didnt know what to say.

Whats the rule of thumb here? I certainly dont want to be rude?!

I think it is completely situational and often dependent upon the role we play in the group.

For example, as a druid, I will often volunteer to Main Loot for the group.

Why? Because I have 100% weight bags, I have invis, sneak, ports, and I'm not a tank, puller, main healer (usually) or generally will be missed if all goes well for 2-3 minutes while I'm outside the zone selling.

Whereas, if you monk is getting weighed down with copper, not pulling but instead looting, they is slowing down everyone in the group.

Likewise, I would never leave to sell if I was the tank or CC or the main healer I think. Why? Because that affects everyone's exp and safety.

I think that's the strongest case for using a ML and splitting sales. Pure plat and people aren't distracted, weighed down, or doing anything but getting what everyone likely came for in the first place -- EXP.

I think thats putting it more clearly than me trying to be sarcastic about it, but to me it was obvious that it was along those lines that ive just quoted. If youre whining for such a little discomfort to yourself and denying someone the plat he needs (obviously, if he wants it enough to go out for a couple mins and sell) then youre the one thats rude.
