BTW both times it happened last year I had full grps that I had organized and we all agreed that it was bullshit after discussing it in grp chat and going out separate ways.

That is 12 anecdotes vs your 1 anecdote cd288 and I am pretty sure at least 2 or 3 of those other good ppl have already quit and moved on.

The reason I still post here even tho I don't play is because I'm OG p99 forums raid mob. Not even fronting.
Proceed to melt down internally at the existential death of p99s spirit if that is what you need. I will not interfere or berate u further!

Sol A is a huge zone with a lot of goblins.

Most of those goblins are level 25-30.

A handful near the zone in are 20-25.

If you’re a level 55+, wiping through the lower level mobs, leaving none up for the lowbie level appropriate group (20-25)…

…when you could just as easily go a tiny bit further in to kill greens 5 levels higher (the mobs too high for the group of low 20s to kill), and continue your plat farm completely undisturbed with a still unlimited number of mobs to kill…

…especially when you and the group are the only players in zone…

… that makes you a selfish player. And I think you lack courage to try something just a tiny bit more difficult (greens level 25-30 instead of greens level 20-25)

The result of the selfish behavior is that the players who get sick of dealing with mob-hoarders plant themselves back in unrest or mistmoore where they will sit LFG for their entire play time rather than compete for exp with players 30 levels higher than them.

Whether this is the intention of these players is unclear. Most players who find out there’s a level appropriate group trying to exp, will concede section of the zone to the lower level players . When you send these types (most of the population of plat farmers in sol A) - they respond to respectful requests in a respectful manner.

The selfish players will either not respond, or worse will antagonize the lower level players with their vast knowledge of elf law, and will start to cite various elf-law precedents in historical p99 law suits, in order to assert their god-given-right to kill whatever they want, whenever they want

That's not why people plant themselves in Unrest and MM. They do so because, despite the possibility for trains, the zones are relatively safe and it's easy to reach the ZL if you need to (Unrest also easy to get to - MM a bit more annoying in that respect) and they have good ZEM and everyone generally knows the camps and the pulls fully. Stop whining.

In fighting "selfish behavior" your response and solution is to become selfish yourself. By dictating what lvl someone has to be in order to enjoy killing monsters in a zone.

Once again ppl trying to force other people to play the game like they do. If they don't, the OTHER PERSON is being selfish for not bending the knee for you.

Not really. No one as near as I can tell dictated what lvls are allowed in solA as of yet.

You are still twisting a critique of the interaction of high and low lvl players with low lvl players with a non existent demand for high lvls to stay out of sola entirely.

Lots of disenge
