If someone refuses to share, then it should also be acceptable to take it regardless. Just because this game has a PK flag, does not mean player conflict should not happen. Also it is not my experience that people have to be willing to split camps. I was told in no uncertain terms by a GM to clear out of "pond groups" mobs, when I was soloing there in Mistmoore. Never said a word to them or answered their whining tells. I spoke to the GM--but didn't work out so well. I was accustomed to the Everquest I had played, where people generally soloed mobs at the entrance to zones. But there are hard and fast lines for what is a camp on Project '99, and so you may be mistaken. Of certain camps, there is no sharing. | |||

Yeah, we're super not interested in your "30 years of gaming" and "I played in '99" stories. You didn't get issued silver watches or someone to give a fuck about your pointless opinions on ancient vidya.

Had a very interesting repeated encounter here on Green in Blackburrow tonight. My group and I formed on the Bridge and made the general area a camp, as it was just us in that area (surprising I know, but it was in the dead of night). For two hours, more and more folks came and we invited them to the group until we had room for two more. We camped the area uncontested, as it was just us, but then:
The first individual who didn't want to join our group said they were "Semi-AFK" as their reason for declining. They then started pulling mobs as they spawned at the fringe area of our camping area. I told them they were welcome to join the group and remain "Semi-AFK" so that we'd at least share experience and not have to wrestle over each other for pulls. He declined and left the area after he pulled a few more. The second individual came and, just as we were pulling a mob, rushed in and started attacking it. When we finished killing it, they gave a "..." response and acted angry and upset; I informed them they were in the middle of our camp and that was a mob in our camp we were killing. They got extremely exclamatory, claiming we "can't just make a camp wherever we feel like" and told them the area was a valid enough camp and was prior uncontested for hours before, and even fine by other people in other camps in the zone (and those soloing mobs in between camping areas). They still angrily rebuked and, when I offered them an invite, they said they didn't want to join the group because they're...at work..? I told them they're still welcome to join the group and be "Semi-AFK" to do what they'd like, for the same reasons as before, but they went into a circular argument about camp lines and cited to me that I should read the rules. They ran off somewhere and weren't seen again afterwards. The third was someone who "had lunch in 15" and, when I told them they'd be fine to join and leave when they wanted and be as active as they felt, they turned it down and quietly kept pulling mobs from our questing area. They left before 15 minutes. What the hell is up with people? Literally bending over backwards, offering people a spot in a group to share experience and take turns looting Gnoll Fangs, and they'd rather have extremely obtuse reasons for avoiding groups so they can fight a pre-established camp over spawns, killing mobs very seldom and get the same amount of fangs but without having to share fangs per-kill. Blows my mind. I will always be willing to split a camp. I will always be willing to invite people despite the divide in experience and loot. I will always be willing to accommodate people's situations for in a group. What boils my blood is, when this is all said and done, people still outright refuse and would rather cause problems for everyone for their own selfish interest. My two cents on camp etiquette? If you're going into an area traditionally populated by a majority of groups, but don't want to group, you don't belong there. If you go to Crushbone or Blackburrow or wherever, you better be interested in grouping; there's too many people to be too selfish. Obviously I don't expect people share the same mindset, but it still irks me how many people refuse to participate in the MULTIPLAYER aspect of an MMO. | ||

couple entitled folks got mad at me for single camping the lone static brigand at the top of the hill near the WK bandit camp. they felt entitled to that mob because it gave them a lot of experience and that i'm KSing the mob. some nerd guild leader i shall not name starting calling me a jerk because he didn't agree that i'm allowed to camp a single mob in an outdoor zone.
