Swarming in CoM

To be fair people hogging spawns or camps one way or another would have been resolved in era by enforcing sharing. The core of the complaint is other players not making reasonable accomodations for sharing. Ergo I judge the complaining classic.

The complaint references kiting 60-70 mobs, this clearly demonstrates that there were plenty of opportunities for the zone to support both the existing groups and the bard. If the zone was crowded and tapped out of spawns than the bard would see there isn't even 25 mobs available and would either log out and come back later or find a different spot. Enforcing sharing is well and good, however, it would still result in the bard swarm kiting in the zone and therefore still would have resulted in another cry thread.

Think you're totally missing the point of this post overall. Most of the time the Bards are pulling mobs from camps. CoM pretty frequently has multiple camps occupied by groups. Bards roll in, grab anything a group hasn't cleared yet (even if the group is clearing with relatively good speed) and swarm it down. This is disruption, but the Bard knows that by the time a staff member could get to the petition the Bard will be done (not bashing the staff, it's hard to cover everything as an unpaid volunteer).

I tried pulling the unrest is an outdoor zone thing and got scolded by a GM when I was super new to p99, guessing same applies here [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

In my defense I wasn’t doing anything crazy, but ppl kept stealing mobs from our camp, so I finally logged on a higher level character and was like okay I’m going to camp some of these mobs in your camp then, and a GM showed up and was like what are you doing �� and I was like um it’s an outdoor zone

But like legit this high level dude was ksing a lot of our mobs, so I thought I was in the right

I still think he was in the wrong, but since I technically logged into another character and moved into his camp I was seen as in the wrong but I thought since it was an outdoor camp that it was okay

Also it turns out basement isn’t a single camp btw �� it’s like 3 diff camps if it actually gets disputed

Sadly some of the bards in COM can be an absolute nuisance, do not warn the zone when they are starting a swarm / take from area's groups are actively sourcing from.

Some though are the diamond in the rough and will warn when starting a swarm as well as when mobs are returning.

no one is impressed by their little OOC macro's. it's an idiotic practice and they need to keep it to large outdoor areas where they don't pose a t hread.

Oh I gotcha and understand / respect it. Only stating that because its a courtesy I appreciate when I see it if they are going to engage in COM swarming

Imagine running and crying to the referees instead of handling your issue yourself.

When did I say I wouldn't handle it myself? As usual your reading comprehension is terrible. Guessing you couldn't get into college.

And in fact, in other comments in this thread I've said I take matters into my own hands. That comment you quoted was about generally why Bards are fine committing zone disruption (but again I know it's hard for you to read).
