Rules Lawyers

[amishriot]

I'm curious how other people feel about the rules lawyers out there. You know the people who throw the rule book at you anytime it benefits them while they do something shady.

First example
I was in Lguk the other day, it was me and 1 other person (soloing at the zone line) in the whole zone. I was camping the ass/sup room but also killing the ritualist. Someone came in and did a champ check. I called ass/sup but not the ritualist. a min later while i was killing the ritualist he send me a tell to ask where i am. I tell him in in front of ritualist. He goes on to start quoting server rules to me about how I can't claim 2 camps, I had to pick one. I said I wasn't claiming 2 and he was free to take the ritualist, I was only claiming ass/sup. This wasn't good enough for him though because i wasn't currently in the ass/sup spawn room, even though it was cleared. So I moved there because he started quoting rules about claiming camps and that I had to be in the room. There was so many other camps he could have taken. Mine was the only one claimed in the entire place but clearly he came for that one and was going to try and rules lawyer me out of it.

Second example
I've been playing an alt in crushbone with my brother who is new to the server and every night we see the same 2 lev 60s come into the zone and slaughter everything in it. Literally everything, they run around pulling everything they can find and then AOE it all. When I complained they said the zone was empty. Well it wasn't, there was at least 5 people there trying to find mobs unsuccessfully. They said I could have a camp but I had to tell them which one it was I wanted. I was level 10 at the time and realistically i wanted to to was roam around looking for anything that coned blue to me. Because it was low pop there was more than enough to go around but there wasn't a specific camp that would have been as good as moving around. None of that really matters though because lev 60s shouldn't be killign everything in the zone unless its actually empty. I realize the rule book doesn't stop them from doing this. I have no problem with them coming in to farm an item but to kill everything in the zone leaving us nothing is crap. The people of appropriate level shouldn't have to come in and ask for permission to get a mob of some level 60s that are there every night. Today they were in there again and when they did a CC my group called the castle. We had just got there recently and didn't have a full group yet so we were slowly pulling it. They decided that because most of the TR was up and we were not inside that we had no claim on it so they moved in and took it over.

Petitioning things like this is petty and i doubt the GMs would bother to do anything about it especially since the rules actually allow them to do this kind of thing. Just because something is ok by the rules doesn't mean you should do it. If training people became legal tomorrow I wouldn't do it simply because its a dick move.

I just dont understand people like this at all. There is no excuse for being a selfish prick just because the rules allow you to be so.
