Since we're in greed-lawyerquest land... !
Can someone shed some light for me on the seemingly retarded situation with regards to dhamp and CY in MM?
Late last night we were killing half the castle, pulling to CY including dhamp for a few hours having a great time ... and then a level 60 bard rolled in and declared that we're not 'allowed' to do both these things and he is within his rights to stroll in and take dhamp.
If we objected, he could petition and force us to choose between dhamp and the other spawns ... apparently. Even though we've been there for hours happily doing our thing, the six of us must choose between exp and dhamp?
That seems pants on head retarded, especially coming from a fucking Bard that probably just came from swarm kiting an entire zone!
If that's true then its fucking retarded that an appropriately levelled exp group can't claim a decent cash spawn as well as exp. The effect seems to be that high levels can roll youngsters at will, because we will need exp more than the drop ... so all names with decent drops can be taken from an exp group at any time by a high level, and it will be enforced by Guides?

He isn't wrong...but all you had to do is claim dhamp. Then, you could kill dhamp and then focus on exp from that cy and castle between phs. It is win win for you...the bard could be a dick and claim some spot in castle that takes some of your exp mobs, but he'd more likely leave or log and check back later.
This can be tricky since a lvl60 can easily camp dhamp at spawn or by sitting on the wall while a grp of lvl appropriate folks might have a hard time holding that camp without risk. I've had a ton of dhamps stolen from me while pulling to CE when group wasn't strong enough to move inside. It helps to keep a timer so that you can be back at dhamp to pull him the instant that he spawns. It also makes it harder for someone to "accidentally" kill him. At that camp you can expect a cc check every 5 minutes as well, just make sure you keep calling it.
