Power leveling and sharing the zone

[Zarniwooop]

No one has the right to all the yard trash in Unrest.

Period.

I think people are just going to have to stop hunting in unrest at low levels. It's not a big zone anyways so this issue is bound to manifest itself in one way or another. Yeah it does suck, but there are plenty of other great dungeons to hunt in.

I've always been of the opinion that if someone is being PLed they should go to a less popular zone. The likes of unrest is always going to be popular, and it has a low mob population, so go to sola, runnyeye or something.

But then i do understand there are people who will see someone camping something, and logic dictates that they're killing all the spawns so it's their camp, but some individuals will come up and say they can't camp it all and quote server rules to force them to share...

Seems like a lack of communication on both sides. Generally if someone is PLing and I need a few mobs I send a FRIENDLY tell asking if they minded me getting ina few kills as able. That has never not worked. If I had been refused I would just go hunt a hundred other spots a level 10 can hunt and make a mental note to avoid the selfish player in the future. On the other hand when I have been PLing and someone has asked me for certain mobs I always give them the camp they want. It has never once been an issue as long as both parties communicate. Think about the bigger picture. You're level 10. It's not like there aren't plenty of mobs available for everyone. They may have the mobs you want, but it's not like they have a monopoly on level 10 mobs. Better just to let it lie and move along imo. Some people are pretty selfish and from my experience, life is easier to just avoid them. Karma will catch up to selfish players on a server this small. I wouldn't sweat it too much and definitely don't judge a guild based on a couple players.

Great post, but the whole thing might have been avoided if you initiated the dialogue first. I'm sure the PL team could have left a corner of mobs untouched for you and your buddy to camp. All you have to do is ask.

This. It's up to you to attempt to resolve it first. This simple concept eludes many people, but it's the #1 reason camp disputes piss me off. Petition only after an attempt to reach some reasonable resolution on your own has failed.

That said, camps are not defined by all a party can keep dead. Monopolizing an entire zone is not kosher. If a person insists on acting like the only person in the zone, I'll put them in a different one so they are. If that person comes back or continues to be a pain in my ass somewhere else, the only thing they wind up camping is server select. The xp isn't very good there.

Ooooh, server select zone sounds fun. How do I get there?

In my opinion, you kind of miss the point of playing on this server if you are being powerleveled. I've never been powerleveled, nor would I want to be. My friend who wants me to get up to his level should just create an alt to go with my new character. But some people don't enjoy the journey, they want to get to the endgame as soon as possible. For me that's when I start a new alt.

Anyhow, onto the point of the original post, if I see someone powerleveling like that I just go find another zone to hunt in. Doesn't mean I like it, but I really don't want to fight it either. I got tired of dealing with powerlevelers in Blackburrow, so I went to Erud's Crossing. It's been a nice change of pace, more relaxing there. Increased my alchohol tolerance and fishing skill while there too =).

OMG! He gave away my secret xp spot!

[Dulu]

To make matters worse, it was probably a guy dual boxing for his alt, and not two people.

You're lucky you are atleast playing with a friend. I have no one to play with, and I'm having similar experiences.

[Extunarian]

I really think this person would have allowed you to have a section of the yard to yourself if you had asked politely. My experiences with PL'ers has been almost 100% positive when I approach them and ask if I can grab a few spawns here and there. In most cases they oblige, or just move. And in a couple cases they simply invited me to join the group and get PLed with them (thanks Sapentia [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] )

That said, if you run into a rare group of PL'ers who disregard your polite requests, I'd say feel free to start peeling them off or petition.
