Default fine steel camp

I have it on good authority and have been a member of a really great fine steel
group. I don't really want to say where it is because it's a pretty "quiet"
spot and don't want to bring too much attention to it but it's great for fine
steel and grouping. It's very easy to make a lot of money selling the fine
steel and also a lot of great experience points from the "mobs" that are a
constant stream of pulls. There are a lot of drops like cutlasses and dirgers
that really add up!

So a group of mine (I'm a druid so really "stitch" the group together like
Ma-Ti) was having a great time in this spot. We had an enchanter casting good
spells on us, a damage dealer, a healer (other than myself), and a tank so
everything was basically great. Our warrior was a human and our enchanter a
great High Elf so had good stats and was really keeping things humming along.
We had a couple of tough pulls every now and then but this is a tough fine steel
camp and so it's kind of normal but it is a lot of fun! Nothing really got away
from us because we were all paying attention but also having a good time in the
group chat.

Anyhow, we get a new comer along and she asks to join (it was a wood elf
multiclass ranger) and said she "just wanted to grind experience and didn't want
any fine steel." Cool beans. I don't really want to name names because maybe
this was just a really bad experience and I don't want to make anyone feel bad
but I just wanted to vent and so wanted to say that and that everything was
basically fine up and until this point in the group when the wood elf ranger
joined sometimes I heard that maybe rangers shouldn't be invited but we gave it
a shot and so this is how it unfoled. So we had a spot and she invited her and
she joined and that's when basically everything went downhill.

We were getting a TON of the fine steel I menitoned and were doing a "master
loot" rotation where one person would loot and then we could just go sell really
quickly and split and so everything was really fair and balanced and safe and
effective. Then this ranger wood elf woman starts talking and it's like "wtf is
with your claptrap?" She talks about how she should get most of the loot
because she started to pull and could bring "singles." I mean, this isn't a
bar. So she started to loot basically all the fine steel and that was a LOT of
fine steel and she said she was going to sell it all and could even go quickly
to a close vendor. We didn't really know if she could do that but then she said
"afk few minutes" and left the zone (didn't put the "AFK" tag up) and when she
came back all of a sudden had tons of bag space again. It seemed suspect and
there was also a black peraol that she looted that she said she accdietnally
destroyed. The group wasn't convinced that this actually happened and we talked
a lot about it in "tells."

Anyhow, at one point the group had an accident and we had to get a healer to
come help and the ranger said she would stay and keep the camp broken up but
really she just kept killing the monsters and taking the fine steel while we
were all trying to get back alive. I don't want to name names but this wood elf
ranger started with a "K" and so everyone should be on the lookout. This is a
great community and everyone is helping everyone and it only takes one "bad
apple" to spoil the bunch. Thanks.

Wow that's really interesting, I was in a similar situation the other day when I have it on good authority and have been a member of a really great fine steel group. I don't really want to say where it is because it's a pretty "quiet" spot and don't want to bring too much attention to it but it's great for fine steel and grouping.

I mean, if you have a problem with something a group member is doing, kick them from the group. The Ranger won't be able to out-DPS your group so won't be able to loot anything. Easy.

Also, just FYI OP not to put you down but there is no such thing as an "unknown" camp on this game. If you're at a camp that generates decent plat and there's never anyone there it's either because (i) there are much better options for plat at the given level range or (ii) there's just no one leveling in that level range that frequently (often the case on both servers now that they are top heavy).

TLDR Rangers are the best class in the game.
