I got into an argument with a friend at a LAN party...

[Swish]

A similar case of this was one time grouped at Mistmoore at the castle entrance. Zone was busy, as Mistmoore is.

A group of 6 appears that decides without saying anything they're going to move inside the castle entrance and pull where the first 2 gargoyles spawn. I continue pulling (on my SK), then start getting shitty messages from them. Short of rooting they try to do everything to aggro every mob I'm pulling so they can say it attacked them, but after 2-3 disease clouds you aren't pulling it off, sorry...

Anyway they ended up pulling the bigger room with the negotiator room in, but taking it through the back entrance past 4 gargoyles and the gypsies...and wipe themselves. Obviously its instinctive when that hits for some of hte group to try and zone. So all these mobs come past us as the biggest dbag among them tries to escape, and dies.

They path back, we dismantle it as we were in good shape and we get petitioned for

1. Training them.
2. Kill stealing.

So to recap. A group moves in, pulls the mobs we were pulling, tries to aggro mobs we had already pulled, trains out and wipes, then petitions us for killing "their" mobs.

That's who you're dealing with on blue server sometimes. In terms of the context of this thread - they moved in ahead of us knowing we were pulling from in there. Despite careful pulling, it creates a shit show.

And on Red this is never an issue because you will be soloing...Ghost town...

Hi Swish. There are dbags on both servers. stop trying to say that red is better than blue. Numbers dont lie.

I just realized something this morning: Swish is Red's Don Quixote! Why not just let him keep trying to fight windmills (convert Blue players) and rescue prostitutes (rescue Red)?

While people criticize swish. This post is spot on.

I've had this happen a few times to me and overall it's a huge grey area whether it's malicious or accidental. Both look the same. I dunno how a GM would look at this. Its prolly almost case by case. Just don't do nothing you don't want a GM to see. If a group continues to pull thru you then maybe move to a diff spot /shrug. I think if they aggro you it's fair game to protect yourself and if the other group wanted them bad enough the puller would sink more aggro into them as to not lose the mob to sit aggro.

On the other side if your fighting in an area that could have traffic you might wanna re-eval the fight spot. But shit happens.
