Acceptable these days?

It sounds like you were being an emotional douche tbh. Doesn't sound like you put in any effort to still find mobs to pull after you realized they were "pulling the whole castle." I am against people PLing in popular spots during prime hours but from what you described it doesn't sound like the group was disrupting the zone anymore than a regular CY group with high dps would.

35ish in the zone is crowded. It's bad enough if there's a decent CE and CY group both contesting the mobs by the gypsies/werewolves. That's when normal sane PLers decide to give somewhere else a try or come back another time. MM really isn't the place to do it when its that crowded.

I'm with the OP here... the community stinks sometimes.

PL-ing in a popular grouping zone is simply put a douchebag move... if you are that F-ing good, you can think of a zone that is not populated and do your %$#@ there.

Nurga/Droga would have been perfect, wouldn't it?

Maybe I am just burned out on MM, but I also have noticed more frequent asshattery over the last couple months.

My favorite is going to the pond camp and finding two twinks who refuse to group with any of the ten lowbies who have come lfg.

Then when the other lowbies start pulling mobs from the canyon the twinks get angry and tell the entire zone they are camping pond and the canyon is their camp too.

The only way to avoid these selfish shits is to get xp in other less populated zones. Just avoid MM and UR imo.

Not excusing their behavior but we're in late Velious now, so the twink gear that the average player can have is extremely OP for the zone they're in. Typically pre-Kunark I'd argue it was hard for a 20s pond group to pull the entire canyon given the bronze armor and bad ratio weapons people had on, not to mention smaller mana pools on the healers and etc etc.

Now being limited to the pond area is quite restrictive for people who are more and more impatient for levels in a zone that really can't respawn fast enough.

Definitely worth considering some alternatives, or playing off-peak [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

All Super Friends, pulling 3 camps. But, there are no defined camps, is what I was told in /tell and /ooc.

i thought u said there were 35 ppl in zone, i only see 7 names, 2 of which are 60. And was it only u qqn cause its unusual that Romac and the bois wouldnt have moved or not pulled an area if u made a group for that area.

Power leveling in xp zones is pretty deplorable when it they are monopolizing significant portions of the zone during prime time. What you described is not that though. Efficient CE groups regularly clear to CY, s mobs being down there does t really say much :/ Nobody generally pulls the second floor or the area back beyond the ambassador (cooks, butler etc,) though. If those were all clear then your complaint of zone disruption is a bit more valid. The dew that large collections of mobs belong to certain camps is unfortunately just not true :/ A camp is a single named and its ph's or a single room (LoS). Anything beyond that is FFA. The one suggestion I can make if you are bothered this much by what happened is do not play a puller, ever. You will struggle, it will be frustrating and your groups will suffer for it :/

mistmoore castle should be left alone for the noobs. If you are a 60 druid and you and your buddies are power leveling there at prime time you are a moron. You should be cleansed by first an assault of insults and belittling in ooc and then a follow up of braknars heavy handed death touch discipline.
