true for 99% of us.

OP is in that 1%.

well, Talendor sees invis, but he doesn't stay alive very long. I believe there is one named mob other than Talendor that sees invis. I'm not sure which one it is though.

Nm, this doesn't add to the discussion.

This is basically the only area in the game a wizard is going to find a group 50+ (or to be honest, 10+).

Don't take that away from them.

This is right on. PBAE is a rare case of a wizard actually being "needed".

I think you need to investigate how death and rezzes work. You didn't lose even CLOSE to 4% of your total exp.

I think you need to investigate reading comprehension. The guy never said "4% TOTAL xp."

My rejoinder to some of the replies and questions follows.

First of all, regarding the term "QQ". If my post is to be considered QQ then your calling my post QQ is QQ. Users of the term seem to think that just using it makes you cool or gives your statements additional authority. It doesn't. Give me a break. This kind of an attempt to pidgeon-hole an entire post is not even valid argument.

Second, my post was not just a complaint it was also meant to be a warning for others who might inadvertently undergo a similar mishap. I 99% doubt that 99% of people know about the AOE kiting in SF. I 100% doubt that that most know just how quick and unexpected and unavoidable it can be at any given time. The only way to avoid is is not to experience in that general area - and nobody shouted or OOC'd regarding any mass AOE efforts.

To further define what I mean by general area, I reiterate, I do not mean right at the zone line. I mean much further into the zone, where the corridor to the BW zone line widens out into a mouth, and you are almost in the body of the SF zone proper.

To the persons that said I should have known better than to stand with the group or that I should have zoned when I saw the mobs coming:
I wasn't standing with the group nor could I see them from where I was. I wasn't at the zone line and I didn't even see the mobs coming.... I still don't know if they came from behind me or what. I was out in the "mouth" of the corridor to BQ, more into the zone than the group, who apparently were all the way back at the zone line.

Regarding my not alleged stupidity or ignorance because I supposedly thought that the 4% left over from a 96% rez means 4% of total experience. Really? You REALLY thought that was what I meant? And you imply that I am dense.

To the person who claimed my first post was a wall of text:
It was maybe half a page at most and well broken up by paragraphs and white space. There was reasonable sentence structure including capitalization and a period after each sentence. If this is a "wall of text" to you, you must have real problems reading a book.

In the end, although I still consider it a rather selfish over-use of resources, I can live with it, and probably will have to. But I really think it should be announced up front. Just because someone sees a group of people in the zone, it does not mean that said group is doing AOE work.

I do thank you for the warning. When I reach that level I will be cautious entering that zone. Still think your post was QQ-ing tho.

way to go, mwatt. You just made every single person who said QQ look like an idiot
