The AC in so ro is a joke. It's nowhere near as strong as OOT. It's much weaker than an SG. You can camp it around 35 solo as a caster of any class, but you will have a hell of a time surviving a triple SG pop if you get unlucky ( people can kill your PHs at bad times and have everything spawn at once on top of you while you are trying to kill one mob).

The mob spawns in exactly one spot. To claim it and have best chance of being first agro, you really have to sit ON the spot. I've had people try to sit there invisibly and get the agro before me. Most people, however, sit up the dune face.

I also find it kind of 'humerous' that humerox went from being one of the jerks who kept frenzy to themselves by handing it off to each other for like weeks using the corpse bank exploit to the guy who isn't selfish and doesn't care about loot.

I also find it amusing that the reason this thread came to be was some lowbie was pissed no one in Sro was handing out clarity anymore, and decided to rage in the name of honor, valor, and camp rules.

I mean, really?

Um...I think you got me confused, bro.

I have never camped Frenzy here. Ever. I hate LGuk with a passion, lol.

and I was once the biggest "white knight" on the server. not that it did much good, lol...

So if 15 DA sit in Sol B and poopsock the fuk outta Naggy for 72 hours....and he pops...and they wipe...according to some people in this thread it is a pretty douchebag move for anyone else to take their guild in and take a stab at him..

Cuz after all....DA was there for 3 fuking days...camping a mob....and then died..

Ya - I think it's safe to say 99% of the time - the norm is "sux you died, it's our turn now".

And yer a bunch of hypocrites if you argue otherwise.

I'm too new to understand the terminology (DA, poopsock?) but I was a guildleader of a successful raiding guild before. And my take would be of course if someone brought their guild to kill a raid mob and wiped that I would let them try again. Assuming they have a shot, and everyone knows who has a legitimate shot.

It costs me nothing to ask them how many more shots are they going to take. If they don't kill it I can try tomorrow in most cases. But if I go in there and steal it, now I've got a lot of people with headaches and an e-reputation because I didn't want to find something else to do.

If you can't see the major glaring differences between the two scenarios then I seriously worry about your mental capacities.

I've always thought of Vesica Dei as being good people and wanted to write of this incident as being misrepresented or bad apples or whatever, but seeing plenty of Vesica members defending it with faulty logic is kind of disheartening.

Here, I'll just go ahead and sum up my position as simply as possible:

if the rules are all you use to determine what you should or shouldn't do, you're probably an asshole

[Acillatem]

It sux - we've all been there. But I don't consider it a douchebag thing to do. I would never be pissed off at someone that took a camp from me while I was on a corpse run. I'd be more pissed at myself for LOSING the camp in the first place.

The AC is a heavily disputed camp....I know people who spend weeks trying to get on a list for it. It's unfortunate the person died - but hey - if I'd been trying to find an open AC for almost a month....and I happen upon the SRo AC being open.....I'm sorry to say if you WERE there and died - it's mine now. I'll be damned if I'm going to spend another month till I can find it open again.

My time is more important than your happiness. That doesn't make me a douchebag. That makes me someone who works 60-70 hours a week, only plays on weekends, and wants to maximize my playtime.

I don't charge for ports. I'm alwayz unanon so if someone needs a lift all they hafta do is ask. I spend a lot of time helping other wizards in the community out.

I volunteer enough of my time helping others that when a gem like an Ancient Cyclops falls in my lap - I'm taking advantage of a lucky break.

And honestly - I think anyone who EXPECTS me to do something detrimental to my character's advancement becuz they fuking died is a douchebag.

Wow!!! Can of worms has been opened !!
