Anon - What's the point?

[eqravenprince]

Apparently I am in the minority or maybe the only person annoyed by anon people. Which is baffling, but oh well. It's usually not a big deal anyhow. I received some possible good reasons for going anon, and I'll just leave it at that. And no I don't steal people's camp, but then again I have never camped anything in my entire life. Groups I am in might say whatever camp we are in, but honestly I could care less. I don't feel like I've ever owned said camp or mob.

Camp something like the Ishva for 8 hours straight, and then right before it spawns have someone come in and sit on the spawn point.

Would you feel slighted?

i'd feel like it was time to adjust the tracks a little more toward that spawn point, if ya get what i'm talkin bout.

A) I would never camp something for 8 hours straight.
B) If I ever did feel the need to waste 8 hours sitting at one camp, and then someone took my spawn, I would be pissed and tell myself this is why I don't waste my time camping a mob.

I'm [...] curious if there is truly a legitimate reason to do this.

Play a wizard, druid, enchanter or cleric from mid level up or a high level paladin and you will find enlightment.

The only bit I don't understand about /ano and /role are people putting the LFG tag one while being /ano or /role: how do you expect to have invites if people don't know your class and, most importantly, your level?

Some people would push this further, as per the server rules highlighted in a previous post. The camp rules are not here to annoy people but to ensure that a minimum level of courtesy and respect is present on the server to avoid anarchy. Whatever you do you will be frustrated but the choice is yours to either (a) bite the bullet, accept being done in the backside or (b) seek assistance from a GM so you get what was rightfully yours. Option (a) is quicker but, in a way, promotes a bad attitude by not fighting it when witnesed, option (b) will reduce your frustration and help improve the overall attitude on the server by getting the offenders punished.

My guess would be that they are raiding and their raid knows their class and level or they only want to be grouped with people that know them.

"Hey do you got any rogue weps I can have" "hey you will drag my group out of the crypt even tho you are grouped and on the opposite side of the zone" these are the 2 most common tells I get as a rogue when I'm not anon..... Going anon just saves me the time of having to type "hell no" every 5 minutes

Back in 2000-2001, I played a Rogue up to level 52 and I was never asked if I had any Rogue weapons to give away. And maybe once was asked to drag a corpse. But I suppose if I were sent tells like this every 5 minutes like you suggest, then I might have to go anon as well.

And there you have it.

Haha every 5 min may have been a bit of an exaggeration, but it happens often enough that I pretty much always go /role or /anon. I'm all for helping people out especially noobs, but I can't stand people just looking for random hand outs.
