Default Acceptable these days?

So after a long while logging in, I head to MM with my 32 rogue. Get a group in Tower ( new group to me) but upon logging in was camped at CE.

CE was cleared of any mobs, never saw 1 player there. Find out where "Tower" group is and head up through GY.

Super Friends seems to be pulling the whole castle from CY to power level a few friends. A few years ago, I would have thought this was disruptive play. Seeing as there were 33 people in zone and this new group had zero mobs to pull. Even the area they were pulling was being freshly killed.

Upon asking this group of high levels, if they thought it was right, I was met with "Its FTE" in /ooc. So I remember the play nice policy, and seems it too has changed a bit, I still felt this was disruptive because I cant possibly out pull a group of 60's power leveling 2 or 3 lower levels.

Is this the new server rules? Is this how EQ is being played in P99 now?

MM seems to be a shit show with bad attitudes and the "All About Me!" generation, but will GM's not even rule or come to aid on a situation like this any longer?

Me personally, thought it was common sense through years of EQ, that there are certain camps and you expected with a full group of clearing a specific area, that is your camp.

Example: Pond MM group usually pulls all mobs around pond and through cave. GY pulls all mobs around GY and through to pit. CE pulls Castle Entrance and through the castle. CY gets Courtyard and shares mobs through the castle, unless certain mobs themselves are camped.

Opinions may very but this is the common FULL GROUP capable of clearing areas, census.

Is this common courtesy, out the door these days?

Can I now bring in a few level 60's and power level 2 characters from CY using the mobs that I can FTE? Abusing a high population zone like MM for my own benefit while disrupting whole groups just, JUST BECAUSE I CAN?

Give me a logical answer and I'll actually read what you type. I understand the trolls and red players are in a total different mind frame.

I just want to know if I need to move on to another server after experiencing this nonsense.

Can't legit call FTE on a room full of mobs that run to your camp, til they get there and you hit them...I'd say, in which case I'd be up there picking them off as they ran by with teh same shit, "sorry dude, FTE u no" [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

PL'ing in Mistmoore and Unrest isn't a new thing, but its an inconsiderate thing to do. Hate it and wish it could be policed better.

Stricter rules on it would make the community less toxic imo.

...and if you're worried about twinks coming for you, just keep moving and they won't be able to do much, not that they're around really anymore.

Disappointed in hearing this of Super Friends. Not the usual suspects.

I agree... After initially questioning what they were doing, was answered by Jehovahsguard with." We are all grouped and pulling mobs we need to level". After questioning that with "Power leveling", answered with," No we are all grouped".

So, how are you grouped with 60's and leveling? Odd.

Next, was even more odd. "We are just making cash".

My response,"Grouped with a 60 druid? Leveling or power leveling? Or is it you are just making cash?".

Answer? "Yeah, we dont wanna die while making cash".

So after being pretty frustrated with this attempt at deflection, I stated," So its Making cash grouped or ungrouped, while leveling or power leveling in a high traffic zone on a large population time".

Romac," No one comes here unless they are grouped. Are you grouped? lol".


You know what Romac, I was grouped. Our mobs were gone. CE was gone due to zero mobs. I did not want Courtyard. I wanted to group and have fun. Was hoping for a CE group but settled for a new area ( More than likely due to the high traffic in MM) that people called "Tower".

Instead, I grouped and 1 guild ruined 3 camps that players could have been experiencing in.

Thank you for letting me know, Friends actually means Assholes, on P99.

I just leveled an alt recently in mistmoore from 25-40 during prime time hours mostly. Never had this experience. Whether you are camped at CE or CY you are pulling the same mobs: anything and everything in the castle. Never had a problem with a lack of spawns at either spot.

It sounds like you were being an emotional douche tbh. Doesn't sound like you put in any effort to still find mobs to pull after you realized they were "pulling the whole castle." I am against people PLing in popular spots during prime hours but from what you described it doesn't sound like the group was disrupting the zone anymore than a regular CY group with high dps would.

Ziggy, I stated clearly... the camps from CE to CY, all mobs were cleared. That group listed pulled every one of them.

Emotional douchebag? Clearly, I have a reason. Maybe I didnt clarify, they pulled the castle. So you are simply mistaken.
