Well, I will say that I can't blame BDA coming to the aid of their compatriot and forcing me out of my camp, albeit I do think in a measure that was against the rules. I didn't take a camp because I was anon, because I wasn't, but roleplayed so that I didn't have to deal with unsolicited guild invitations being an unguilded 60 necro, Juev.
I will say that I definitely had the PoM RnFs post in mind when I started down this road. I double checked rules regarding camps and mobs being up, etc. to ensure it was a legal course of action. I wouldn't blame BDA or chalk this up to a failure on BDAs part for multiple reasons: Xetho is an admitted new app, so if there is any correlation between being in BDA and being tainted by the guild or guild leader I don't think this is the case; several BDAs member seem to even be split on the reality of this situation, some claiming it was within the rules though dickish and others saying it was against the rules and I'm a terrible person, I am also confused because all I have to go on are server rules and RnFs posts concerning similar issues; "manners maketh man" and I was too immersed and forgot there is another human being with whom I'm competing against and on this server many people play by different rules and understanding of those rules. Regardless, my experiences with BDA players has been positive, outside of this, even though I know full well that the random assortment of players and the inability to really screen personality types from playing the game will ensure that I have a negative experience with a member from every guild over a long enough time. I decided to play the Game of Thrones: Everquest Edition and use what I perceive as in-game rules to flex nuts on two players who legitimately bit off more than they could chew. I wasn't as nice as I should have been, being dictated by good manners, and nicer than I could have been. In the end, I lost out to the truly greater force - guildies and friends.
Nearly a year into game and I finally stepped hard on someone's toes. I have no real problem with Xetho and I'm sorry I forgot the rogue's name in hating me, specifically Xetho because of the differences in our personalities; a nemesis is important in a game with no real end. Anyway, feel free to gloat over your victory, Xetho! You win this time... but maybe not next, you inchoate player!
