Someone took my spawn and I partitioned . . But no response

[RaldoMcdaldo]

I came on here to get an answer to a question. I have received that answer. If i caused "negativity" I apologize for that. Really the only thing negative about this entire thread is the fact that I was treated very poorly by a mean, and probably angry person in the game. But, this is the only experience i have ever had of this nature in the 2+ years I have played, and I did not say otherwise. Thanks to the majority of folks who contributed seemingly helpful information and opinions. To those of you who weren't quite so kind and helpful - shine on you crazy diamonds.

IMO if SOE never punished for cases like these (or it was a rule but they never did anything about it) then they shouldn't be punished here so as to be more classic.

Live allowed boxing because it made them more money and the cost of accounts (and physical boxes, if you didn't use EQW) limited the amount of boxing. P99 doesn't allow boxing because boxing is free here so everyone would box.

Same deal with the rules: we don't have paid GMs, and we have plenty of other differences from live, so we shouldn't expect to have the same exact rules as live.

Same thing happened to me except it wasn't seafurry island but a normal mob, not response 3 weeks later = /

Which is why defending your camp is important.

Seafuries definitely bring out the worst in people. I was always under the impression that if you were holding down 1 static spawn you could claim it as a camp even if it was outdoors as long as you maintained a presence and were killing it right as it spawned. I do agree though that if you bring GMs into the mix you may get a different answer depending on the day and who responds.

Regardless of whatever the actual "rule" is if you and a friend had been sitting on one spawn for over an hour and a Mage parks their pet right on top of you that's a crappy thing to do. You would think someone would see 2 people holding down one Seafury spawn and leave them in peace considering there is very little money in 1 spawn split 2 ways.

Well I mean Guide Llandris is wrong. So there's that. Nothing is purely FTE outside raid mobs.

Wrong. I guess I should have been more clear in my explanation. If you are sitting on a single spawn point, then sure, you can "camp" it. But if you and another player are camping 1 spawn point each, and fighting over a 3rd spawn point (that is not camped by someone), that NPC then becomes FTE. Don't expect to sit on multiple spawn points and claim it as a camp, you get 1 spawn point, the rest are FTE.

It sounds to me that the Mage was just being a bitch and trying to throw her level weight around...

Sort of the "I'm bigger than you" syndrome, so I would just chalk it up to an ignorant player.

sounds like the mage needs to Git Gud and use a Epic pet or even fire pet instead of earth lolzzz

Thank you for clearing that up. I didn't wanna see Seafury island = 100% FTE being taken as gospel unless the staff want to implement very specific rules for the island, which I strongly believe there's no reason to.

I was duoing seafuries (on wiz) with a druid. We were very respectful and didn't quad, even though it would have been pretty entertaining for us.

We were actually there to kill the corrupted cyclops, but were killing regular sea furies to pass the time.

We had no problems with people intentionally stealing our pulls, we did have a couple of times when our spells landed at similar times to another players, but no one sperged out.

We even had a shaman offer to epic click our mobs to help us kill them faster and turn over the respawns more quickly.

To be honest the cash wasn't great. The only 'complaint' we could have about OOT was our names mysteriously disappearing from the AC camp list... Perhaps we unwittingly tagged someone elses mob and they used the list for revenge, or we got scrubbed from the list while briefly out of zone to grab potG/C?

Someone did spawn the corrupted while we were out of zone and was kind enough to let our druid loot the rot item.

Edit: actually, I do remember one thing. Someone ran Quarg directly on top of the spot on the beach we had been camping. That sucked. But overall, the island was far less wild west than the forums suggest. Wasn't great cash either though. I think I make more pulling names on my ranger in KC.

Get 60 go back and start fte'ing thar mates mobs, claim loot but let the corpses rot just to piss him/her off. If someone loots the corpses petition them for ninja looting.
