I don’t like to disagree with y’all but on this one I would fight for my seller til the cows came home if someone wanted to play the petiton game cause I looted the corpse that I paid for.

Sorry

That would be a very one sided fight though.

Also, I don't have the money for this kind of camp. Having people sitting around it perma-camped means I can't enjoy content because the fat cat squad sells/buys MQ/loot rights among themselves.

Not to be rude but sorry get more money. You might want to sit at a camp for 72 hours but I don’t.

You’ve been here for 3 years if you haven’t accquired enough plat to pay for a time sink camp maybe you should rethink how you make plat.

I for one would rather pay for this camp versus doing it because of how long it takes to get the mob to spawn.

Acquiring plat is only really relevant if you want to spend plat, which from Nixtar's previous post appears not to be the case. He seems interested in doing the camps himself, and seems frustrated that players can circumvent 'no drop' restrictions through MQ/loot rights.

That’s classic. If he wants the camp then he will have to wait for it to open and he can get it.

If he chooses to be a little petiton bitch and QQ because I paid for it then he will get my full wrath.

I think what Menden is referring to is the douchebags who kill SF and then try to auction off the loot rights in /ooc to the highest bidder, which would potentially end in a rotted map piece if they don't find a buyer. That shit should absolutely be punished. Having a prearranged deal set up where you pay to come and loot the map piece and no one's the wiser should be kosher.

Don't you think that you're having it both ways by suggesting it is classic to camp the piece, but also that petitioning makes him a little bitch?

I never heard back from a petition during classic, but I believe that was a time zone issue. For people who had play times matching CSR, I'm pretty sure petitioning was a thing?

I normally don't chime in on stuff like this, but seriously tupakk, you are the little bitch by not rightfully earning what you loot. If you want stormfeather you better be willing to put in the effort for it. Paying for instant gratification is the same as acting like a little self entitled kid.

By this logic, does this extend to every twinked character who has not "earned" what they have looted? Are people guilty who have spent hours via alternate means of accumulating platinum versus spending hours camping something highly contested?

Is everyone who doesn't adhere to the Auld Lang Syne playstyle simply HEATHENS!?

Or does this only apply to NO DROP / highly contested items?

This is a slippery slope line of thinking, in my opinion. I believe if you've got the platinum and someone is willing to give you the loot rights, there is no problem with that. Situations like these is what makes the economy relevant. The downside being that this could encourage neckbeards to farm the hell out of camps like Stormfeather, but I'm with Tupakk in the sense that I don't really want to sit at a camp for 72 hours either.

In regards to twink toons, I feel most of those lower priced easy to aquire items from the ec tunnel are considered "hand me downs" after getting new gear you gotta clean out your bank somehow. It's just a matter of are you a jerk and expect top dollar on that sale? Or are you a more reasonable person and will pass on the item to someone who will use it for avg or lower price or even for free. This feeling applies to tradeable items. In regards to no-drop items, yeah you damn well better be willing to put in the time and effort to get that drop. Even if all that effort is just sitting at the camp. It shows you really want that item. I firmly do not agree with MQ sales just for the sake of earing plat. However if you honestly have a left over whatever from times past and need to get rid of it, that's fine! Just don't perma camp the same mob over and over and over just for plat. ( I consider this duchebaggery) i.e. all those people trying for lodi just to sell the item for plat should go find something better to do.

then you obviously don't need stormfeather that bad.
