I dunno man. I try to do what I find fun, and 95% of the time it doesn't interfere with anyone else.
I think every situation should be evaluated case by case, and in my opinion, I think this problem is between Zagum and the original poster because I don't know the full story. I can see how it is a bummer that the original poster didn't get his epic, but I don't know that I necessarily find it problematic that Zagum frequently does the camp to sell the item for money. Should Zagum have backed down if someone else was doing Ragefire for their epic...I'm not sure? In some regards, some might consider this to be like the Fungi camp; I've never been able to do it, nor will I ever be a desirable class for the camp because only duos and trios seem to do it. However, some people do it a lot and make a fair amount of money off it that allows them to purchase best in slot items. Would getting one Fungi make a great deal of difference to my bank account and the equipment I could afford on the server, yes. However, I don't plan on being eligible for the Fungi camp anytime soon. I know this isn't a perfect analogy, but in my opinion, it's somewhat similar.
Hopefully, the original poster gets the epic soon and maybe can work something out with whoever might be in the lair planning to do a Ragefire spawn if they are doing it for loot/cash instead of the actual epic piece.
However why I'm really responding to your message is the pixel addicted part. To say I'm pixel addicted is a bit of an overstatement I think, and in fact, that statement bothers me a great deal, as I highly value my reputation with friends and acquaintances on this server. Sure, I try to upgrade my character, but I've never stepped on someone else to do it. I believe I have played completely fair in all situations. I can think of one time I participated in a sort of poopsock situation, and the mob never spawned.
I'm not defending anyone or anything that took place, but I don't think that anyone on this thread knows the full story from all sides...this includes the participants that night. Furthermore, I don't think any post on this thread will change anyone's opinions about individuals, guilds, or this event; people have their predetermined opinions before even posting. In my opinion, the best way to win these forum post wars is to just not participate at all; I can't think of a time I've ever read a forum post and thought to myself, "Wow, I really think differently about things with much greater clarity."
Regardless, I'm the same person I've always been, and I view everyone on this server in the best possible light I can. I am friends with people in all guilds and have no quarrels with anyone on the server. I might butt heads with people sometimes, but I think at the end of the day, I firmly believe that most people here are good people, just sometimes competition over content brings out the rougher sides.
Good luck to the original poster, and if you need a bard to play resists when you attempt Ragefire, let me know.
