I bet you were one of those kids on the playground who sat behind someone on the swings and counted their swings till 20.

Man that was the worst rule ever.

No one could possibly enjoy their time on a swing with someone behind them as a constant reminder that the clock was ticking.

I wasn't. But I bet you were one of those kids that inspired some kids to do that.

SOME zones, IMO, just need to be pvp enabled. Issue resolved!

yeah and i wonder who will get in the most kills- oh yeah, the same power guilds who are camping them now [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Honestly, there's no policy that's going to fix this. There's no set of rules that would make it better -- just different.

The bottom line is that people will either be dicks, or they won't. Any rule can be twisted and abused, which is why lawyers are so well paid. If you're holding a camp with your guildies for the better part of a week, you're a dick. It's a game; you're not being paid to camp Necklaces of Superiority, Jade Prods, or Circlets of Shadow. Let other people play. You don't need to let them be next in line, but don't make them wait for every alt in your guild to get the item before moving on. If you and your guild have had a camp for 24 hours, and the same person has been coming around every couple hours trying to get in on it, let them have it next, rather than call for guildy reinforcements. Or don't. You don't have to. But if you don't, you're a dick.

For not playing the game the way you think it should be played? They are gearing up. It's a competition for them. We can't (or choose not to) comprehend this because we don't play the game like that. But I don't think it's fair to expect them to cater to us.

Just as large guilds are free to monopolise game content and keep other players from experiencing certain parts of the game, then the rest of us are free to call them selfish.

It's about all we can do, call them names, and either they will realise their selfishness, and feel guilty about it, and stop, or they won't. Likely the latter.

I've run out of ways to explain we left the jade prod camp when most of our active members had keys and that what we did to get the camp was the exact same thing any individual, guild or group could have tried while we were camping it, or could be trying now (probably successfully i might add since there are people from like 5 guilds with access to HS).

I suppose we should leave trakanon up this week so other folks have a shot at starting their VP keys.

This is how old EQ was. Stop complaining because you want it to be like WoW where every person can have any item. Those items are rare for a reason, and seldom hit the open market.
