Chardok AoE Groups and the Rules

[Swish]

I used to love being in there to just group, can't do it now really without looking like a troll trying to ruin the plat mine.

Didn't read through the thread, but this has been addressed before.

No, Chardok AOE groups cannot take up the whole zone/train you if you wish to camp something in Chardok. Yes, this means if a few groups posted up in Chardok, the AOE group would be forced to share. No, there are no special rules in Chardok protecting AOE groups, period. They need to share like everyone else.

If you have a problem, petition. If no one is available for immediate help, have someone fraps/record the incident and the situation will be dealt with. Or you are welcome to point people to this post to reinforce that you're allowed to camp mobs without being disturbed.

Someone did make a good point here though - you will need to talk with the Chardok group when you arrive and let them know you are interested in grouping down there. They will have to pick a camp. 99% of the time they will choose to continue AOE'ing around your camp.

Thanks for the clarity Derubael, and thanks to Krosan for his awesomeness as a human being.

I'm glad the situation here got resolved but I don't understand the hate for Chardok AE groups in general. Being able to take down a hundred mobs at once inside a high-level dungeon is really cool, the use of the various class abilities to accomplish it is really impressive, and frankly, I find the selling of proxy EXP spots completely innocuous. To me, an AE group is an extreme example of what's really amazing about EverQuest: the ability to use the mechanics of the game to accomplish feats that the developers never dreamed possible. If you really want to do a standard EXP group in Chardok for whatever reason then you can do it as per server rules, but to set one up solely to spite an AE group is completely absurd and childish.

Well, kind of the same reason people hate Bards. They monopolize an entire zone.

I talked with Calias and Vidarr before resorting to forums. And, I said things in 'say' before that. The first reply was buy one for 4k. The second was bugger off. Eventually Vidarr and Calias sent me tells to figure out something. The reply was we'll work with you to find a place we aren't pulling. That didn't work out b/c there weren't any pathers for the ikky betrayer I need. Only after Vidarr found out about this thread was any real effort put forward to help me.
