Your underlying assumption is that it's less efficient to farm the ring yourself as a low-level character. This is a false assumption.

Again, you can get XP anywhere: there are literally dozens of zones a low level Druid can XP in ... but only one of them has an NPC who drops the Goblin Ghazughi Ring. Why XP anywhere else (where you have zero chance of getting the ring), when you can get XP AND a chance at the ring?

Thank you for admitting you read my post wrong, which is why you are now switching to the substance of my post.

It was less efficient for Jimjam, he didn't get a ring:

My mage did that camp from like 12 to 24 and saw plenty of couriers but no ring. Seeing bloodstone rings in inventories gives me ptsd.
If Jimjam was camping mobs that had better plat/money item drops while gaining XP, he'd have some plat to work with by level 24. Intsead he had no ring and no plat. This is very basic stuff if you've played this game. If the Ring was easy to get, it would be like 500 plat.

The fundamental problem with your posts is that you write nonsense like this to win points with the imaginary audience in your head ... and then fail miserably at communicating with the actual humans in the thread.

No. The problem is you think that is what I am doing, and it clouds your judgement when you read my posts.

I am sorry that there is a boogyman version of DSM that lives rent free in your head.

You should learn to simply read my posts as-is, instead of spamming threads with your own delusions of what you imagine I am saying.

Remember that you are the one who started attacking me in this thread:

This is the first thing you said to me in this thread. You attacked me first, and have generally been snarky to me in your subsequent posts.

I never understood why people think it is fine to attack others, but absolutely cannot handle it when the other person defends themselves. They seem shocked that the person they attacked did not simply roll over and take it.

If you don't want people to defend themselves against your attacks, don't attack people. It's quite simple. Please stop spamming the thread.
