The simple fix is to swallow your pride and just kill the damn thing. It's in your best interest to.

This mentality is the free epic WoW mentality. I dislike it. Its exactly then mentality which makes me never want to play WoW and why I love early EQ.

This feels like raidfinder to me. Who cares there is a healer not healing, a DPS not DPSing. Its their free epic, just farm it for them.

It's not really any different than killing a raid mob knowing someone with more points will get the drop you want if it drops. You can help kill the mob and advance whoever is in front of you or you can choose not to attend.

Its extremely different. One is a random stranger. Another is a guildmate. I'd spend an entire weekend camping an item for a friend. I won't SoW a stranger.

Then you're an asshole. But, we've already established that in the other thread you posted.

It seems silly to me to not require the person in the #1 slot to be able to participate in killing the mob. I think a timer for inactivity of killing the ph or named would be beneficial to reduce entitlement and require said person to be capable to solo and/or bring friends to control the spawn.

If this were really classic could you imagine a situation where you enter a camp and someone sitting there invis tells you: "hey buddy - I was here first, but I can't kill the ph so please do that for me. By the way, I'm also entitled get the first rare drop because i was here first." /afk

List is new. Have some patience as kinks are discovered.

Rules need to cover this point. What they are doing doesn't violate the rules. Its irritating.

IMO: make the rule define /list 1 must engage PH in a "reasonable" time frame. list 1 has the obligation to bring sufficient force to engage. List 2-X need only maintain AFK checks.

Not at all.

I made this thread as a person ahead of this particular shitter bc I felt bad for all the people behind him.

Its simple fix, make #1-#3 engage the mob as part of the rules.

Or bump the lvl req up to a proper solo level.
