Whether this is the intention of these players is unclear. Most players who find out there’s a level appropriate group trying to exp, will concede section of the zone to the lower level players . When you send these types (most of the population of plat farmers in sol A) - they respond to respectful requests in a respectful manner.

The selfish players will either not respond, or worse will antagonize the lower level players with their vast knowledge of elf law, and will start to cite various elf-law precedents in historical p99 law suits, in order to assert their god-given-right to kill whatever they want, whenever they want
That's not why people plant themselves in Unrest and MM. They do so because, despite the possibility for trains, the zones are relatively safe and it's easy to reach the ZL if you need to (Unrest also easy to get to - MM a bit more annoying in that respect) and they have good ZEM and everyone generally knows the camps and the pulls fully. Stop whining.

This is a relative non-issue on p99. Across 8 players to level 60 and a 9th now in the 50s I can honestly say I have never run into this issue? 2 high level farmers competing for low level trash and being dicks about it? Sure … but not the type of situation described by the OP.

Sounds like you ran into an asshole. If so, name and shame or be done with it.

I agree. Personally I have only run in to player issues like this a handful of times across the many years playing on this server. This includes before Green came out, where you could have 1500 players on the server. I don't play on Green though, so I am not sure if something has changed over there.

The only one coming across as "entitled to mobs" is OP and you.

Why does someone's lvl mean they are no longer allowed to kill mobs?

This is your take.

No you're entitled to them without regard to anyone else getting agro in your trains simply because you can agro and kill everything. That's your reasoning. Your reasoning is if the lvl 25 group logs in on 60s they can then be entitled to what they can pull and kill.

Really fucking dick move. And worlds do burn because of your fucking attitude.
