So... I'm in Rivervale today while I work from home. Of course on my work from home days, I'll have EQ open on one monitor and code out of the other two. So I take a break from time to time and kill the deputies to earn some platinum. Well today I learned how some folks on this server feel like they're entitled to camps. I come off afk and start killing deputies and about 2 deputies in, I start seeing Darkfae, member of Dawn Believers (/anon doesn't protect you from /guildstatus), start throwing a temper tantrum in /ooc over me killing deputies for plat versus xp. When I responded to him at the end of my kill cycle he decides to go the child route and sling insults and profanity. At which point, I told him if he wants to sling insults he should take it to tells because I don't mind it. I'm just sure that someone else might like another player, his guild leader, or a GM/Guide. It's not like I farm these deputies all the time, but more so when I want a little extra bit of plat while I work from home. If Darkfae would've sniped the camp while I was afk, then good on him. But he didn't, and he threw a temper tantrum over it. Furthermore, if I don't get a chance at the camp while I work from home, then its no big deal. Period.
Moral of the story: This is an 18 (almost 19) year old elf sim. It's not the end of the world. Don't feel like your entitled to a camp for xp over someone killing for platinum. We all have our MOs for as to why we camp things. I'm sure there are plenty of people that camp Spore King in Seb for the Fungi, rather than the xp. The same can be applied to other camps throughout Norrath.

You present a calm and pleasant demeanor. I imagine you'd consider working something out with the guy to share spawns or perhaps you'd even give them up if he was nice and asked.
That being said, this is almost as bad as the half AFK 50+ levels who sit in EC on the Orc camps to farm Deathfist Slashed Belts while lvl 6-10s in cloth armor have nothing but crappy spiders, Pumas, and lions to kill for XP. Can you really not find less accessible cash camps to farm for plats?

The halflings are not only decent cash for newer players, they are awesome XP. The fact Filbus is hurt every time a halfling is killed only gives a newer player that added bonus.
I just find it douchey killing vastly underconned mobs in a noob zone for plats, and I never do it personally even if it is allowed "by the rules." Anytime someone uses "it's allowed under the rules" as a defense typically knows what they are doing is douchey.
