Being mad about something like this is normal though

Calm the hell down, kid.

He was pretty clear what the rules are, and responded to you several times when you were being a smart-ass and twisting things around.

If this honestly bothers you that much, find another server to play on.

Troll more.

2 full minutes <> 7 seconds. The fact that Whukes lied about this part means that he knows full well he was being a greedy douche. And isn't that the overarching rule here (don't be a douche)?

To me, that's at least as bad as Katanamogimbo being inattentive to his camp. Reverse deciszh pls.

The courteous thing to do would be to give the person a couple min to engage if they are obviously sitting there waiting for the spawn.

It would be courteous to not go around calling everyone that I see "dumb".

But there's no rules against doing it.

That's the difference and I think points out what's happening here.

This thread is a great example of why a GM shouldn't publicly litigate a camp dispute.

Even though Ambrotos' ruling was clear, you still get the peanut gallery of entitled children like xCry0x rule-lawyering with their "What if ____" and "Let's say _____."

You're dodging the question a bit...

Basically do you have to tag on spawn? I mean let's say you were camping x spawn:

1) You buffed then medded a bit then planned on pulling but I tag it first.. is it mine?

2) You wait a couple seconds for whatever reason and I tag it... is it mine?

I guess what I'm trying to get at is that the way this decision is phrased it could easily be made that it all comes down to FTE (which is the way you're saying it).

Exactly, either call it FTE or define a time frame.

Saying that 'what ifs' aren't fair is itself not fair when the ruling uses ambiguous terms.

I know myself and the people I play with would generally wait, probably even send a afk check tell.

I know others would run in and engage without thinking twice.

This was demonstrated in the context of this thread.. so to each their own.

I am just glad I don't care enough about this game to stop me from getting up to take a shit while camping a mob or to get up and say hi to my Fiance when she gets home.

Ambrotos I understand your problem. On the one hand we have guys that are afk for 20 seconds and people are ninjaing their mobs. On the other hand we have people that wipe and call camps from the zone in.

But for a long (8 hours?) spawn like Hadden it seems to me like the person there should at least get a few minutes. This ruling makes it sound like I can walk into any XP camp and take their named if they don't tag it first.

Pure wisdom, as usual

Ambrotos wants less rules lawyering, but is applying a rule where a simple judgement call places the OP in the right. Just go with your gut... it's much harder to build a case against.
