Lvl 60 killing mobs we are xping / camping for key

[istivaan]

My friends and I are lvl 36, just in range for ToFS, tonight we finally got a chance to camp the key for the second floor. The last couple nights other folks have been in there, and because we are respectful players, we left it to them. After clearing the first floor several times over almost 2 hours, Fuol <Azure Guard> lvl 60 Shaman shows up and starts killing everything. Didn't ask us what we are doing, just kept killing. We had been doing a good job on both XP and clearing, hoping the mob would spawn. Not sure if petitionable, but I know of one guild I won't waste my time on if I want to do end game content. Screw Azure Guard, screw Fuol. Just another player that ruins the game.

Wow. That is so horrible. Sounds like a truly terrible experience. Did you manage to ever find mobs again? Or was this the end of your experience gain for your life. I hope you can find experience again. Good luck!

Oh ok, so every time a level 60 shows up, players who are in range for a zone should leave so that person can get what they want? Cool story.

Sounds like no communication was involved...Did you send him a tell?

Probably not, but I'm sure OP was BROODING:

Really though, a shitty thing to do in TOFS when you're locked into a floor and somebody comes along and starts sniping mobs. In my opinion, it should be on the person entering the floor to initiate conversation and ask what the people that are already there are up to.

And then he left shortly after and left you to your business?

a rant AND a flame nice

[kined]

if you were clearing the floor, how was he able to clear everything?

and no one says you have to leave, but just cause you arent 60 doesnt give you exclusive rights where the 60 cant kill mobs you arent even holding down. tofs is small you cant take a whole floor, especially if you arent killing the whole floor.

also, did you try talking? or did you just prefer whining to strangers.

So first of all, yes, communication was involved. Also, if you've never killed multiple mobs and had some up before you get to them, I am not sure how familiar you are with eq's and spawns. We were clearing the floor, we had the halls broke counter clockwise from ent and were camping next to the lesser ice shade spawns. Some mobs would be up for a moment before we got to them, then once our spawn cycle was messed up from someone else running down every wing and grabbing whatever and killing it, it made it worse. I am glad everyone assumes one has no valid reason to complain because every tiny detail wasn't exhaustively explained.

In any case I will also say this, after multiple tells (where we engaged him), he did finally check with his guild and found out he should yield to us. So huge props to him (and I mean that seriously) for realizing it and apologizing. Honestly if he just asked us about taking part of the spawn, not running back and forth grabbing whatever without a CC or anything, we totally would have.

so you just left out the part where he left and gave you the camp and you still posted this? thats even worse... you sound like a real gem
