That island is FTE. If you are KSd, petition. Encounter logs are easy to look up. As Loramin said, I've been out there quite a bit the past few weeks. If nobody responds right away, just be patient. Your petition stays in the que until one of us responds and/or clears it.

The island has static spawn points. There's no reason you shouldn't be able to claim a spawn.

On principle I agree. Seems to me the global rule should be "you can camp any spawn point in the game, but only one ... or you can FTE outdoor mobs".

But I'm sure the rules exist as they do to make the GMs lives easier, and I'd rather have less-busy GMs who can respond to more petitions than get to camp a Seafury spawn point [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

It sounds to me that the Mage was just being a bitch and trying to throw her level weight around...

Sort of the "I'm bigger than you" syndrome, so I would just chalk it up to an ignorant player.

My understanding of being new to this server and reading a lot of posts on these forums and p99 reddit and p99 reddit circlejerk. It really depends on which GM you get and what mood they are in and if they are friends with the person involved. I also realize that p99 isn't live and doesn't follow classic live rules. I have had, on a few occasions, high lvls come into my groups zone (najena, sol a) and clear it repeatedly for hours hindering our exp. And the general consensus is that the only rule that stands is FTE.

Edit: my join date says Mar 2015 but it is an alternative fact. IE i played until lvl 10 or so then quit and came back around Christmas of 2016.

I need a real answer from a real person of authority. That has been my point all along. I have heard all of what has been said here before and as y'all can see it's quite conflicting and unspecific. Again, the question is: can someone come up to me and just take a spot I've been using?
yes or no?

Yeah. There's nothing special about seafury island that makes rules not apply there. Besides BUT BUT BUT BUT I WANT MONEY. Changes nothing.

First off, game != forums. I can all but guarantee your experience in the game will be MUCH better than the forums will lead you to believe, because the forums tend to concentrate negativity. When you read things in the forum about how all the GMs only help their friends (or whatever), take it with a grain of salt.

Second, you may not be aware but there is a rule against zone disruption. If you're leveling in say Najena and some higher levels come in and make it impossible for you to level, A) say something (the vast majority of players will leave a big enough area for you to level in alone), and B) if they don't leave you some mobs, petition them for disruption.

Also remember FTE rules don't apply to camps in dungeons: regardless of the zone disruption rule if you have a particular camp taken no one can take it from you, whatever level.

If the area you are in is known as a "camp," than no one is allowed to take that "camp" until you stop using it.

If the area you are in is known as a "FTE" or "First To Engage," than the mob goes to whoever hits it first.

I would believe that if the mob you are going after is spawning in the same spot every 6 minutes than it makes it more of a camp.

If the mob was spawning every 6 minutes but in random locations in the zone, then it's a FTE.

You will not get a more official answer than this. If you don't understand something ("what does KS mean?") ask, but stop complaining about not getting answers when a GM has already answered your question. GMs almost never bother to answer forum posts like these (probably because they're too busy in-game): appreciate it.
