Don't join <Clue>

[Peener]

Or at the very least, please be aware that if you join Clue and ask for help taking down a spawn you've been camping, they'll send a zerg force of 80 mouth-breathing idiots who will effectively steal the camp from you and random the drops.

I'm a 58 bard. I've been camping Lodizal off-and-on for the past few days, and today I was lucky enough to have him spawn. Since I was by myself, I had two options: 1) ask guildies for help, or 2) call my RL friends who agreed to log in to kill him if needed. I figured since <Clue> had quite a few people online, it would be easier to just ask them.

I told everyone in guildchat I had tagged Lodizal and I could use some assistance. I kited him around while I waited for (what I thought would be) 2 or 3 people to port in. When I brought Lodizal back to his spawn loc, there were no less than 12 <Clue> members waiting for me. Half of them were under level 55.

Lodizal died almost instantaneously.

Now here's where I admittedly messed up - I didn't speak up when the "raid" leader Rainbowcop started randoming off Lodizal's loot. I was a little jittery and excited from actually getting the spawn, and in the back of my head I was thinking that no decent person would simply random off everything without giving me anything since I'd been the one camping it for days on end.

But that's exactly what they did.


I'm not claiming that the spawn was KSed from me (since I invited them to help), and I'm not suggesting there was any formal violation of the p1999 rules. I just want everyone to know what to expect if you join <Clue>.

(EDIT: Sorry just realized this probably belongs in R&F...)

Just so ya know, technically you are the one who was violating rules, for kiting Lodizal.

Hey, a mouth-breather from BDA saying mouth-breather stupid things. Thanks for making this thread BDA approved.

Your guild came to help you kill a mob you couldn't kill alone, a mob you didn't CAMP in any definition of the word since you didn't kill any placeholder(s) to make it spawn, and then they random'd the loot to those who participated in killing said mob...

WEIRD DUDE, WTF. THIS MAKES ME SO ANGRY!

Not really. You sound really entitled and upset that you gambled by calling in guildmates and lost the roll on an item you wanted. Honestly, the 52 rogue probably contributed more to the fight than you did. You literally waited in a zone for a mob to spawn without having contributed anything to making it spawn. Wow, gee, you totally deserve first pick of the crop for that... [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

[Wonkie]

Yes....this.

I understand you were really excited but you need to be clear in /guild. Let them know you've been camping him and that you need X item, you tagged him and need a bit of help bringing him down.

Unless everyone in clue is ABSOLUTELY a retard, I am sure they would come help and allow you to loot X item then random the rest.

So you're saying that, while kiting Lodizal across Iceclad, I need to establish a dialogue in guildchat that I do, in fact, need something from the mob I've been sitting around camping for over 40 hours, and that I wasn't just doing this so some random level 52 rogue could loot a Belt of the Great Turtle?

Would you recommend I do that same shit if I were a cleric camped in BW for IF? That would actually make more sense because you need more than 3 people to kill IF.

Like I said, I'm not asking for them to give me back any of the loot they got. I just want anyone who's considering joining <clue> to be aware that they do some incredibly underhanded bullshit..
