Seafury Island Etiqutte

[Boilon]

I would like to clarify I have ZERO problem with people who get an FTE on mobs, I have a problem with underhanded tactics such as rooting without killing, rooting mobs near other players, possible quag or corrupted trains, etc.

to me root rotting 6 mobs and only killing 2 (3-4 others without dots on) would be considered stalling no? I have no problems with shamans or whoever dotting them all up, but in this case they were at times regenerating.

Take a breather. If you let them get to you, they win. There is no resolution at the end of this tunnel. -_-
Seafury isle is good coin but it's not worth the headache and aggravation in my opinion. The latter of which is not mentioned in any guides.

It's like biting into a candy coated onion. The candy taste good but the onion,.. ooh the onion.

There is not, in fact, much etiquette here. When the place is overcrowded I just sit on one spawn until more people leave.

Can't blame others for being greedy - money's why everyone is there. I advocate patience. Probably easier for me to say since I can't keep like 7 spawns running.

I find the best times to be on seafury island are when big guilds are raiding. I was grinding the island on one Friday night and it was much less populated than usual, fwiw.

You are right about the first and last part. But, I am wondering why there is nothing that can be done about border line train tactics/stalling, something that would not fly in any other area. That's why I asked if it is something that would only be considered upon fraps or something (like in the raid scene) to even be considered. But, I will take a break from the island though ( and maybe people will be glad to see an epic mage leave from there).

Hey Grallos, yeah we killed quag and corrupted a few times together! To be honest I usually only take the top 2 + one by goblin camp spawn to myself, rest I don't bother running to. It just pisses me off when said necromancer also decides to come and decide to do the same 3 and puts his pet next to mine to try and grab the FTE, but I suppose it is fair enough to do so if there is no rules against that.

This necromancer though is not part of any raiding guild so this is unlikely to happen (him gone due to raiding), I have seen him before but he never acted in this way previously.

Pretend like your battling in Quake3. Time those pops. Get the red armor, then grab those armor shards, and make sure you keep rockets locked up. Map control yo.

imo, fte isn't root. fte = dmg done first.

I never got in trouble. So, if someone roots, runs off and you are killing the mob when they come back to 'dmg' it and they get upset. Then just tell them to pull with dmg next time. Or, /petition it.

Again, (this was 6+ months ago) I was petitioned several times yet I never talked to about what I did.

Also, see Chest's posts above.

if someone is being a turd and holding up half a dozen giants just kill what you can, necros are scumbags anyway

seafury island is the baltimore of everquest. I will never set foot there again.

I try to go for the most ammout of rage tells as possible. Let that guide my decisions.

I'll keep this in mind. Sometimes they will level 1 lifetap pull and then root. But, then will continue to search for more mobs without actually dotting it up (hp would regenerate), I think it is the intention to pull mobs but either seriously delay or stall or keep rooted is what was pissing me off (I did end up switching characters out of slight frustration).
