Zone Swarming is there anything I can do?

[Caz]

So im in DN killing a few mobs and along comes 4 man team pulls the whole spider pack of spiders dies a couple of times I have to zone due to their fails and in the end due to lack of mobs just had to leave…. this is correct yes when a bard swarmer comes along I have to look somewhere else. Thanks for the info. Oh ye when i said you could at least ask if someone was camping he gave me the whole fte talk there is no camp. So as I have said I guess as soon as the bard zones in its cya guys nice knowing ya

End rant I guess.

Any more than 4 targets engaged at a time and you can peel from him. If they train you that can also be petitioned, also you can petition them for zone disruption by monopolizing all spawns that you where killing prior to them getting there.

Prior to escalating to a GM should attempt talking with them to see if they will leave a few spiders alone for you and come to a player agreement.

But judging by your words in that they gave you the "FTE talk" they just sound like typical p99 retards that try to use the rules to bully other players

Personally I would not recommend stealing one of their mob: it's only going to escalate the situation.

Just petition and wait patiently, grabbing what few mobs you can. When the GMs get there it will be obvious that you're the rational person trying to play a game and they're the troublemakers. But as soon as you try and take matters into your own hands you start looking like a troublemaker too.

If possible comming to a civil player agreement first prior to involving a GM is even better. Just petition and wait game is partly what these players want because they may end up screwing you over for 2hours before a GM has the time to show up. Be an adult and communicate, if they don't want to respond or have no desire to reach a mutual agreement or even better are toxic in their response all the better when a GM does show up

I did he said they didnt have all the mobs I dont wear glasses and my monitor is quite sparkly and I assure you not a single spider up. So i did what most would do when a guy is giving you the p99 camp speech log off. I deal with human behaviour on a daily basis logging into a game and have it placed in front of you well as I said its 30 sec to log out took me 3 years to log in last time

I've never seen the any more than 4 mobs and you can pull off a bards swarm. Bard swarming definitely monopolizes the zone so it's best to make nice with the people working there though. Is that 4 mobs and you can pull of a bards swarm a made up thing that druids/wizards say because they can only kite 4 mobs and have some bard envy? Genuinely curious

Pretty sure a GM, maybe Sirken, said that several years ago. Considering how many terrible bards there are on this server that have like a 50/50 chance of wiping on every pull it's pretty risky to do with social mobs though.
