So, some enterprising young doctor should just poopsock Hasten 24/7, killing him until Brother Z spawns. And charge Badmartigan and his customer (and anyone else) 5k to let them MQ the next Hasten spawn before he's engaged again. That shouldn't be considered douchebaggy -- I mean, it's all about making money however one wants, right?

1 dude camping a mob for an AC ring = playing EverQuest
1 dude killing hasten whenever he spawns and forcing people to pay him to stop = griefing

By whose definition, yours?

I consider someone camping a nodrop item just to sell it (due to an exploit of mechanics, AKA MQing) equally as retarded as scenario 2.

The only reason you accept the first is because it's common and has always been done.

Both are monopolizing content from other players in order to make money. Somehow one is acceptable and one isn't?

So now we can't kill the Avenging Caitiff in Mistmoore in case someone wants to turn in the fangs?

Where do we draw the line here?

There's no line to draw, as long as you possess basic common sense. People who camp the AC ring to sell are doing it to profit and progress their character, they're not doing it with the intention to piss people off. However, there's no gain in kill Hasten so that others can't turn in their ring, the only point in doing that would be to piss people off (griefing). Killing the avenging caitiff offers experience and loot, again to progress your character. However, if someone shows up and requests you wait a minute to kill the caitiff so they can perform a turn in, it'd be pretty shitty not to fill that request.

So yes, I guess these issues can be quite complicated for those without basic thinking skills.

I'm not monopolizing content.. There's 2 ac spawns and I can only loot 1 ring.. I also raid full time ^^so it's open alot.

Also, if someone wants to camp hasten/a drake/maldyn to try and get BZ that's fine..people can come back the next day and do the turn i'n .. No biggie..

Theres no douchebaggery at hand.. No one is depriving other players of camps.. It's all gravy baby...

What Mardur said about someone killing hasten and not letting someone do a MQ turn is a douche bag move.. If it's done to ONLY block the progression of other players..'but if the legitamitly camping BZ I'll happily come back the next day..

Case closed.. Trolls be Trollin elsewhere nao

yeah, i mean, if you want to take it to the extremes of equating killing the ac to killing hasten, you would also logically have to say that anyone who kills anything is griefing everyone else on the server due to their potentially also having been able to kill the mob, it gets silly
