Rules Lawyers: the Myconid Spore King

Because he can claim Tranix as his camp, and does so in camp checks.

This is why you camp Tranix on R99, no problem. A timed spawn mob is obviously not a camp, but sounds like your leaving him alone to sell the crowns himself. This injustice would never happen on red. If you want tranix you go down and kill him and there is noone monopolizing the spawn preventing you for months on end. I remember playing blue on live and seeing my fair share of people like that, when I quit and went to pvp at 50ish it was a nice change.

1-2 camps being permafarmed by neckbeards is vastly preferable to being hunted down and killed by fungi wearing ragebringer wielding rogue twinks, who if I kill I can't loot their fungi (not classic).

If your at tranix and your group can't handle one fungi twink you got problems. All skills really, if your group is well versed in eq pvp a rogue shouldn't be able to run down and kill your group, never seen that happen in 50s range, and I'd think it would be suicide to try that at giants but i guess anything is possible.

I think his comment is a broader statement about playing on R99 in general...not just Tranix camp.

What do you do when the guy monopolizing Tranix is a better PVP class than you? Or better geared than you? Or more skilled than you? Same thing, different type of monopolizing. PVP doesn't solve everything. Like, didn't everyone on Red complain for years about one guild monopolizing all the raid mobs?

Anyways, I don't think we should start making rules like "must have at least 6 people to engage Fungi King" or "can't pull a mob further than 500 units" cause it's silly and not in the spirit of the game.

I also don't get the "people don't play for fun" argument. Camping Fungi King with 6+ people isn't really fun, it should be trivial.

I played for fun once. ONCE!

He is over-dramatizing, rogues with fungis do not run red. If someone believes every important level range on red is swarming with massively twinked rogues, then they have never played on the server. Simple fact.

If they aren't clearing all the mobs you can just clear the mobs in jail and roaming myconids and let it respawn one cycle. Since those aren't camped.

Once those respawn, if there are enough see invis to prevent an immediate pull from the fungi duo, you can claim they aren't camping it since they aren't maintaining a presence in the room, nor are they pulling it immediately. Therefore not camped anymore.

Clearing the non see invis mobs is firmly in the "dick move" category but I don't think there's a rule against it. But if you do that, you're kind of a jerk.

some would also say dominating a comp for days / weeks on end is also a dick move. im not saying it is, but there are people out there with that mindset.

i used to solo frenzy back on live farming fbss's, this is during the days of 60 people in lguk and people waiting on lists to get into camps n shit.. it drove them nuts that i was taking the camp by myself for days on end. i think i ended up with 12 fbss's by the time i stopped.

regardless, if its not against the rules then i have no problem with whatever people choose to do. if people want to be 'dicks' have at it. if 1 person can camp tranix for weeks or months on end without leaving. good on him.
