A full party of level 10s trying to camp the Taskmaster in CB are barred from camping it when a single level 39 bard shows up because he wants a brass earring for his level 4 warrior twink. Meanwhile a similar instance is occurring at the Warlord spawn, the Slaver camp, the TR and the Tower. 5 or 6 out of 6 or 7, major camps in a major newbie levelling zone, in this instance the number one and first dungeon that every player making a wood elf or high elf has access to are camped by level 30s. So we have 6 guys owning the entire zone while 6 times 6 =36 players of appropriate level are unable to group for a camp and trying to solo wandering mobs while yelling lfg. their option? die in lesser faydark, solo in butcherblock (this is a group/team based game) or wait half an hour for a boat to come just to face the same issue in Befallen if they can even hang in the first hallway as most of them are level 5-10, now take that head out of your arse and realize that not everyone is a lifer in video games, many of these people are actual newbs and don't even know there is a boat, or a steamfont mountains, and are thinking, this game sux, I cant solo anything, I cant group anywhere and I don't know squat.
My god lad do you have to write a paragraph everythime you SPEAK!?

This game might be a bit too high stress for you. Perhaps you should look into relaxation therapy.

It's a fucking game you don't pay for, share your toys once in a while. They went over that in kindergarten right?

Yes, and then I went to middle school where I learned that in the real world people are selfish, and one must deal with them as they really are, not as you wish them to be.

Empathy is a bullshit emotion that people use to manipulate you. It's generally a good idea to ignore it. For example, what about empathy for the high lvl you want to kick out of a camp? It all depends on who is better at manipulating you, therefore ignore it and rely on cold hard logic.

Altruism opens you up to being taken advantage of, and actually incentivizes selfish behavior in others (see: tit-for-tat survival strategy in games theory.)

Enlightened self-interest is the optimum strategy. How does it benefit a high lvl to abandon a camp in favor of low lvls? It doesn't, therefore it is foolish for that high lvl to abandon it.

Cooperation beats tit for tat. For example, you may win in the short-term by looking out for yourself, but in the long-term it turns the place into P99.

Read first, then comment.

Tit-for-tat is a cooperative strategy. It beat out other strategies in computer simulations, and its been observed in some animal species. Basically, it mirrors the actions of the other: if they are cooperative, then you be cooperative. If they are selfish, then you be selfish.

No it's not. You're thinking of reciprocal altruism.
