Here is logs from my wife's PC with a guy who seems to be saying that he's really interested in killing Grizlin, her responses to him, and my objection in ooc. Nowhere in this exchange did anyone say, "we're really just cockblocking this mob from you, deal with it."
Code:
[Sun Oct 08] AGGuy says out of character, 'what's this now?'
[Sun Oct 08] Grizlin Bloodfang tells you, 'Attacking Lodizal Master.'
[Sun Oct 08] AGGuy says out of character, 'some interfering/>'
[Sun Oct 08] BGDude1 says out of character, 'KS'n also'
[Sun Oct 08] BGDude1 says out of character, 'tsk tsk'
[Sun Oct 08] BGDude2 says, 'i killing that need it '
[Sun Oct 08] BGDude2 says, 'i woz killing Grizlin Bloodfang'
[Sun Oct 08] You say, 'you can get him afterwards'
[Sun Oct 08] BGDude2 says, 'U KS my MOB>>'
[Sun Oct 08] You say, 'it's not dead'
[Sun Oct 08] BGDude1 says out of character, 'enjoy it while it lasts, can't charm an engaged mob. It's a KS'
[Sun Oct 08] BGDude2 says, 'U KS my MOB>> Grizlin Bloodfang i woz killing '
[Sun Oct 08] BGDude2 says, 'KS is KS >'
Recourse #2: Back the fuck off, get a timer, try again.
Not true.
Logs from my FTE listener:
[Sun Oct 08] Lodizal engages Grizlin Bloodfang!
[Sun Oct 08] Lodizal tells you, 'You got next bruh. GL and thx!'
Yes, it's probably true that you were able to engage the mob first when it spawned, but my wife was there waiting for it to spawn, just inside Tash range, wondering what the hell you guys were doing. Grizlin Bloodfang is not an FTE mob. If you wanted the next spawn, maybe call a camp check? We were in the zone, looking forward to his respawn when you arrived.
I would always agree when someone says that it's not OK to charm a mob that is obviously engaged, this is common knowledge. That wasn't really the case here. Enchanter was far enough away that melee animations are not drawn on the client. She thought you guys were maybe going to charm the mob for yourselves. If you had done that, she'd have asked me what to do next and I'd have told her to just charm something else. But instead you guys just acted like you wanted to kill him for loot or exp... which you would have been welcome to only a few minutes later when we were finished with him.
I never admitted I was stalling. At no time during the encounter was I just running around because I could not do anything else. I landed slow right about the time you guys arrived and started whining. Shortly after that I let him close to melee range to torpor tank and stick some dots while waiting for the ENC to arrive with the pet.
AGGal says, 'we were only stalling because Lodizal had killed the gnolls. We were waiting for them to respawn'
This was an unfortunate choice of words on my wife's part. She's a bit of a noob. She should have just said that it was taking us longer than usual to get DPS rolling.
[xx:16:51 2017] Lodizal engages AGGuy!
[xx:20:12 2017] Lodizal yawns.
[xx:21:24 2017] BGDude1 says out of character, 'can't stall it buddy'
[xx:21:53 2017] Auto attack is on.
This is not too bad by current standards.
False. I had a character in zone, and an audio trigger to wake me up. Pretty sure I've got you beat clean on tracking effort here. Since I made it my mission to get a belt from Lodi, I've been all over his shit. No luck with drop table yet, and toxic shit like this keeps happening also.
FTFY. IIRC, we had the gnoll charmed and the turtle nearly dead when staff arrived and despawned it, to my great surprise. You guys were holding your dicks.
Calling bullshit on that.
Lol? Slowed Lodi is pretty easy to tank even with my ghetto gear. Just can't load up DoTs like I'd like to.
You mean you wished for me to respond to your claim on the Grizlin camp? I was supposed to engage with you in a conversation, while killing Lodizal, about an alleged KS on another mob that we had no intention of killing? If you recall from above, my wife did speak to the person who had gone after him and all he could do was say, "U KS MY MOB!". I guess what you really mean is that I should have submitted to your ransom demands. Fuck that.
Ah yes, I remember you being there. It was one of those times that BG got FTE and then fell on their fucking faces. Picture getting clearer...
You really think Staff would have like, reset the mob and been like, ok you guys can try again, but you don't get to use the good gnoll... are you listening to yourself right now? We could have killed that mob with a snow cougar, but it would have been really boring for you to watch.... but at least you'd still have your dick in your hands.
