Didn't stand a chance

She came up, placed her earth pet on the spot and proclaimed she was taking the spawn. When the next spawn came I didn't stand a chance.

obviously I'm new to this forum, sorry bout the repeats

I really would just like to read a real answer. Question: is a player allowed to come up and take another player's established spawn spot with superior force?

Sounds like you got no response cause the person was innocent. GM probably just cleared your complaints.

You already got an answer on page 1. On Seafury island the first person to engage the mob has rights to it.

Yes, it is against the rules to take a mob someone else has engaged (modulo some special cases like a bard doing a massive kite).

It is against the rules to take an already engaged mob that isn't yours, period.

Maybe the problem is the acronyms: "FTE" = "First to engage". As in, whoever engages (attacks, has a pet attack, or casts a spell on) the mob first gets it. If you are trying to camp a mob and FTE rules apply (which, as I understand it, means you're outside and not camping a named spawn) then yes someone can take the mob from "your" spawn point ... because it's not "your's". Conversely mobs in dungeons and nameds are not FTE: don't try and beat the guy waiting on the ancient cyclops to the spawn, even though he's only one island away ;)

P.S. It's not a question of "superior force", it's a question of "superior reflexes". When it comes to FTE, reflexes win: even if a mage parks his pet on a spawn point, if you can attack it/cast on it before the mage pet hits it it's yours (whether it's a level 1 or level 60 pet).

Seafury isle is similar to end game raiding on this server. Be an ass and just run around getting FTE. You'll be fine. If you don't want to deal with it, have fun elsewhere. Don't bother because no one including the server GMs will assist. I don't mean that in a negative way. I'm trying to be blunt and to the point.

FTE matters.

Seafury island is a crazy place, but it's not anything goes.
