I used to sell cloaks for people, but realized that was more trouble than it was worth due to people sniping Quillmane.
One time, I spent like 40 minutes and couldn't find Quillmane, which was pretty odd. Usually, I'd see him every 15 to 20 minutes after killing placeholder triggers. I'm running around the zone, and I finally find a level 21 ranger bow kiting Quillmane around. I let him know I've been killing placeholders and running the zone to track him, but the ranger just responds with "FTE" as a response. He then spends 20 minutes killing the mob since he has to snare Quillmane, fire the bow, and then run and sit to regen hp he loses when Quillmane catches him. I asked if he would leave future Quillmanes alone, and he responds, "No, I will track and FTE Quillmane if I see him pop onto my track." I indicate that I will stop killing placeholders; he responds, "I don't care, I'm in South Karana to level."
This other time, I was going to help a warrior in Forceful Entry get a cloak...probably like 2 years ago, and some people in a defunct-guild (who no longer play) screwed with me and the guy in Forceful Entry. The FE guy said he had someone watching the hermit hut spawn point, but that person was going to leave soon. Sure enough, I head to the spawn point and someone from defunct guild is covering the spawn point. I ask the guy at the hermit hut if he is helping the Forceful Entry warrior; he does not respond. I figure he must be afk, so I run to the next spawn point while the warrior is killing placeholders. At this spawn point is another defunct-guild person I didn't know was there, and similarly he doesn't respond to any tells. I run to the final spawn location and there's a third defunct-guild member. This guy responds and indicates he doesn't know anything about the Forceful Entry warrior, but he's there to watch the spawn point for the guy at the hermit hut, who needs a cloak. I guess these three people swindled the warrior and convinced him to kill placeholders while they reaped the fruits of his labor. ...This was the tipping point that made me stop doing the camp and the beginning of my negative impression of the P99 community.
If you sniped a Quillmane from someone you know was actively working to spawn Quillmane, especially if you used my guide, fuck all y'all.
