Rules Lawyers

[Stinkum]

People predicted the same thing about Kunark being the great equalizer to solve the problem of classic content overcrowding.

It wasn't true then, and it won't be in Velious either.

All it will accomplish in this regard is giving the dickheads better gear so they have an even easier time monopolizing content and stealing camps.

I'm curious how other people feel about the rules lawyers out there. You know the people who throw the rule book at you anytime it benefits them while they do something shady.

First example
I was in Lguk the other day, it was me and 1 other person (soloing at the zone line) in the whole zone. I was camping the ass/sup room but also killing the ritualist. Someone came in and did a champ check. I called ass/sup but not the ritualist. a min later while i was killing the ritualist he send me a tell to ask where i am. I tell him in in front of ritualist. He goes on to start quoting server rules to me about how I can't claim 2 camps, I had to pick one. I said I wasn't claiming 2 and he was free to take the ritualist, I was only claiming ass/sup. This wasn't good enough for him though because i wasn't currently in the ass/sup spawn room, even though it was cleared. So I moved there because he started quoting rules about claiming camps and that I had to be in the room. There was so many other camps he could have taken. Mine was the only one claimed in the entire place but clearly he came for that one and was going to try and rules lawyer me out of it.

Going forward, if you intend to hold or claim a camp, your group must retain presence at that camp. If you have no competition in the zone, you are more than welcome to hold as many as you like. The moment another party wants to claim a camp and you are "farming" multiple, you must decide which camp you want and forfeit the ones someone else is interested in. We still expect players to use the courtesy camp check before zerging a room. If there is a full spawn of mobs in a camp room up I think that would be considered not camped. How you pull the camp is up to you, as long as you are able to engage the mobs very shortly after they are spawned.

*Example* You are doing Ghoul Magi, Lord, and Frenzy in lguk. Another group arrives to claim a camp. If they stumble upon a spawned room devoid of players, they can claim it. Where your group resides is your camp; choose wisely.

Wow, look at that, the Camp's Defined thread has some sort of definition for the exact scenario you've described here...weird, almost like the server staff intended it that way.

Your 2nd example really perplexes me; what reason do level 60's have for clearing Crushbone? Killing 1 hill giant will yield enough platinum to buy any drop in the zone easily.

Citing your ignorance to the rules in your example one, I'm inclined to believe your example two its either fabrication to lobby support of your rule breaking in example 1, or a misrepresentation of actual events.

Learn the damn rules and use them, its why they are there. Not doing so is like getting upset when people don't let you steal from them, on the grounds that you wouldn't get mad at them if the tables were turned.

Imagine you have a big birthday cake. Everybody wants a piece of it, but there's not enough for everyone. In the case of Kunark, the cake got bigger.. But the same people just took larger pieces of the cake for themselves than they were before. There was no magical "surplus cake" that "trickled down" to those of us with actual lives outside of EQ.

I really hope that nobody is kidding themselves that some kind of socialist utopia is on the horizon with Velious.

Would only silence people for about a month, and all that would really happen would be the rule lawyering moves to snow heavy places [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Agree. I am always not sure to take seriously people who think Velious will change much of anything.

Here's a news flash Walter Cronkite, it won't. Not on Red, not on Blue.

I love when I see these posts about how amazing the community in P99 is, Yeah i know that guy gave you his vendor trash loot that one time and the newbies in CB are all pretty nice. But the truth is that this servers community is pretty horrible, shit even new MMORPGs have friendlier players.

The contested content in this game combined with a bunch of pathetic losers who have nothing else in life to be proud of trying to be the top dog they could never be on live has created a hilariously bad community here in the past couple years.

I'd like to respectfully disagree. I've played so many online games on many servers and this one stands out as having an exceptionally helpful and nice player base. I generally only read about these 'horror stories' in the forums. I've encountered so very few assholes in the huge amount of time I've played on here. I just realized I think this is the 3rd time I've replied to this same exact 'p1999 server community is the WORST' post that you keep making haha! Not sure why I bother.. just bugs me hearing statements that I so strongly disagree with from someone so new to this server/forum!

The same thing happened to me in LGuk once. Zone was completely empty, and I was killing ass/sup in my downtime. Some guy enters the zone and immediate calls "CC," I call my both and he immediately rule-lawyers me into claiming one camp. Fair enough. Later on, I discover the same guy was running around killing 5 different camps the whole time, including ass/sup, shortly after trying to bully me to retreat to my camp. The only reason he called CC was so he could try to intimidate me to one camp while he ran around killing everything else.

Red server may be filled with sociopaths and griefers, but Blue is filled with the most selfish, rule-lawyering faggots in online gaming.

If you happen to meet a few players who seem like assholes; they're assholes.
If everyone you happen to meet seems like an asshole; you're the asshole.
