Solo high levels on low level camps

[stebbins99]

I understand that this can be frustrating to stumble upon, especially when there are high server populations (ie happens more often). However, it may help if you try to view the situation sans emotions or levels:

Person A has something desirable (camp)
Person B wants something desirable (camp held by Person A) but wasn't there first

Why should Person A move somewhere else, possibly struggling to find a camp himself, simply to appease Person B? In many ways, "being considerate" in this game is simply respecting whomever is there first.

It never hurts to ask to share or group (ie cd288's and V's advice); however, if you arrive to a camp that is actively maintained and cleared, it's usually best to move on to a different area

If you dont think its greedy to sit and farm a low level camp for loot, denying lower levels from actually xping and/or looting, then you should really take a long hard look at yourself.

Why isn't is greedy if a lower level takes a camp while a higher level wants the same content? They're both after the same thing - improving their characters. What entitles the lower level to content over the higher level?

You don't seem to understand. Op wants it and thinks he should have it. Clearly he isn't the selfish one because he thinks he isn't!

Higher level characters have access to more content, tend to be more knowledgeable about more camps as they have more play time, and generally greater mobility in getting to a new camp.

The reason why 1 high level person locking out a group from doing level appropriate content is greedy is because it is probably easier for the 1 higher level person to find something else to do.

The xp group may not know where else they can go at their level, and on a high pop server it would likely be camped by another xp group.

IMO unless there is a specific item of high need for someone, they should cede a camp to an xp group. I always do.

You are a bug man. Most of us are real humans who don't subsume our interests to a hive.

This is a VERY classic rant thread. Original game forums were full of similar threads.

Sorry you don't show the very human attributes of empathy and altruism. Maybe you'll get along with that odus guy whose 12 hours deep on a camp during Thanksgiving dinner.

It's a fucking game you don't pay for, share your toys once in a while. They went over that in kindergarten right?

its not person A and person B, its person A and person(s) B
A full party of level 10s trying to camp the Taskmaster in CB are barred from camping it when a single level 39 bard shows up because he wants a brass earring for his level 4 warrior twink. Meanwhile a similar instance is occurring at the Warlord spawn, the Slaver camp, the TR and the Tower. 5 or 6 out of 6 or 7, major camps in a major newbie levelling zone, in this instance the number one and first dungeon that every player making a wood elf or high elf has access to are camped by level 30s. So we have 6 guys owning the entire zone while 6 times 6 =36 players of appropriate level are unable to group for a camp and trying to solo wandering mobs while yelling lfg. their option? die in lesser faydark, solo in butcherblock (this is a group/team based game) or wait half an hour for a boat to come just to face the same issue in Befallen if they can even hang in the first hallway as most of them are level 5-10, now take that head out of your arse and realize that not everyone is a lifer in video games, many of these people are actual newbs and don't even know there is a boat, or a steamfont mountains, and are thinking, this game sux, I cant solo anything, I cant group anywhere and I don't know squat.
