My friends and I are lvl 36, just in range for ToFS, tonight we finally got a chance to camp the key for the second floor. The last couple nights other folks have been in there, and because we are respectful players, we left it to them. After clearing the first floor several times over almost 2 hours, Fuol <Azure Guard> lvl 60 Shaman shows up and starts killing everything. Didn't ask us what we are doing, just kept killing. We had been doing a good job on both XP and clearing, hoping the mob would spawn. Not sure if petitionable, but I know of one guild I won't waste my time on if I want to do end game content. Screw Azure Guard, screw Fuol. Just another player that ruins the game.

Wow. That is so horrible. Sounds like a truly terrible experience. Did you manage to ever find mobs again? Or was this the end of your experience gain for your life. I hope you can find experience again. Good luck!

Oh ok, so every time a level 60 shows up, players who are in range for a zone should leave so that person can get what they want? Cool story.

Sounds like no communication was involved...Did you send him a tell?

Probably not, but I'm sure OP was BROODING:

Really though, a shitty thing to do in TOFS when you're locked into a floor and somebody comes along and starts sniping mobs. In my opinion, it should be on the person entering the floor to initiate conversation and ask what the people that are already there are up to.

if you were clearing the floor, how was he able to clear everything?
and no one says you have to leave, but just cause you arent 60 doesnt give you exclusive rights where the 60 cant kill mobs you arent even holding down. tofs is small you cant take a whole floor, especially if you arent killing the whole floor.
also, did you try talking? or did you just prefer whining to strangers.

So first of all, yes, communication was involved. Also, if you've never killed multiple mobs and had some up before you get to them, I am not sure how familiar you are with eq's and spawns. We were clearing the floor, we had the halls broke counter clockwise from ent and were camping next to the lesser ice shade spawns. Some mobs would be up for a moment before we got to them, then once our spawn cycle was messed up from someone else running down every wing and grabbing whatever and killing it, it made it worse. I am glad everyone assumes one has no valid reason to complain because every tiny detail wasn't exhaustively explained.
In any case I will also say this, after multiple tells (where we engaged him), he did finally check with his guild and found out he should yield to us. So huge props to him (and I mean that seriously) for realizing it and apologizing. Honestly if he just asked us about taking part of the spawn, not running back and forth grabbing whatever without a CC or anything, we totally would have.

Hi,
I went to ToFS to get a Rune Etched Wedding Band because I couldn't find it in EC for days.
I read on the wiki that I had to clear mobs to get the Undead Gnoll to spawn so I could move up, so I started doing that. A group got mad at me because I was significantly slowing their exping. Which made me think, come on you can't claim the whole floor, I'm just going to get my key and get out of your hair. The person who was sending me a tell (their ench, can't remember the name) was pretty polite about it, just really disappointed that I was ruining their night.
After a few spawns I still hadn't gotten my key and moved on, so I asked my guild (Azure Guard) what the deal was. It turns out it takes a LONG time to get that key, and that it's conventional for a group to have the whole floor while they get keyed up. I apologized (I think, if not I'm sorry), buffed the group and went back to tunnelquesting for it.
Incidentally, I got a seller as soon as I got back to EC.
tldr version:
- I thought I was gonna be onto the second floor in 5 minutes, so I thought they were in the wrong for being a barrier just to nab a couple extra kills.
- My guild clued me in, I realized I was misunderstanding and their disappointment was understandable.
- I moved on and wished everyone well.
Sorry if this is significantly less dramatic than people were hoping for.

Well... we had a pretty good flame fest going for the dude in the Warren's doing pretty much this same thing. He shouldn't have had to check with his guild. It was a dick move. I expect more from Azure Guard.

We had been talking to this guy for nearly an hour, not able to xp, before he finally relented - I posted while that was happening. We were being ignored after attempting to to talk to him before finally numerous tells got him to realize he was wrong.

Name and shame without juicy screenshots, video, or chat scrolls with a Guide's snarky response on how it would be handled?
2/10. I give one point for the character & guild names accused.

That was me (Fuol, my shaman).
The short version, I wanted to get a Rune Etched Wedding Band for my rogue. I read on the wiki that I had to kill a certain mob on the first floor to move on to the second. When the group complained, my thinking was like "I'm gonna be gone in 5 minutes, you can't roadblock the dungeon and call it your camp."
After awhile (not nearly an hour, it was 2 spawns) I asked my guild for details about the dungeon as I started to worry it wasn't going to be as quick as I thought. They informed me that it takes a very long time and it's customary for a group to indeed be camping the whole first floor. So I apologized, buffed them up and left.

Azure guard 60 shamans need to farm tofs because normal(easy) content is too hard for them.

Don't listen to the trolls. He should have seen with you guys first. It is common courtesy.
If you see a floor is taken, you either wait till they go higher, or come back later.
You were right to name and shame!

Amazing how people on servers are generally cool, yet the forum is filled with WoW-grade personalities.

Hi,
I went to ToFS to get a Rune Etched Wedding Band because I couldn't find it in EC for days.
I have a few of these that are unused. Pretty common drop from the wedding. Hit me up this evening on Sibot, Stabbling, or Asphix, and I'll sort you out.

You're level 60 and had to ask your guild how dungeons and camps work? Why not just help them level and ask for loot rights to the key, since they most likely couldnt handle the 2nd floor?

Just so you are aware Fool, plenty of people in AG have TOFS keys, as do some habitual community porters/rezzers.
Consequently you don't need your own key, you can group with someone who has one and they can click you up across floors.

Don't paint and entire guild with a single-player paint. My experience on P99 has been that AG is one of the most-upstanding, high-level guilds on the server!
