So, I just want to write this little story down.

Tonight I stumbled upon the Lguk King camp fully spawned and decided to camp it. I killed the kor shamans and the king PH and the roaming dar, as enchanters do.

Then Slappie, Sernity, Elisa, Nocte, Dravyen, and Autum show up, saying they wiped and that the camp was theirs.

I say, alright I'll give you the camp after just 1 king ph spawn. I figure, I broke the camp so I deserve the chance at just one ph. And they agree, except for Slappie who hassled me about it.

And then the king spawns with a mithril two handed sword.

I start pacifying mobs, charming, generally soloing how an enchanter solos. I get a kor shaman down and then decide to zone to let me and my pet regen. I'm gone for all of 20 seconds, which I figure is okay since I'm clearly breaking the camp, and I had made a deal with their group.

I come back in and continue, and end up with the king sitting in the middle of the room, and my 5% hp pet left. I need to break charm and de-aggro the pet so that it can regen to full and fight king. Fact is, it's not possible to charm 1 froglok and kill both the shamans and the king all in a row. The pet has to be zoned so it can heal.

Again, I'm gone for all of 20 seconds. That's when they decide to kill my low-hp pet mob and steal the king.

It's pretty fucked up that they waited for me to single out the king before stealing it. Apparently Elisa was tracking me and waiting for me to slip up and zone.

It's pretty fucked up that Slappie tried to pull that on me.

Anyways, Dravyen decides that I can roll on it against Autum. Of course, Sernity and Slappie want it to be 6 rolls versus mine, but that doesn't happen.

Autum wins and takes the sword. And then they graciously leave me the camp. Of course, judging by how honorable their actions were before, it was pretty clear I wasn't going to get the sword even if I won the roll.

So, expect to be stabbed in the back if you strike an honest deal with Divinity. And please, don't pull the,"a couple bad apples" line, because when 6 of your members all are fine with pulling this, chances are a big chunk of the guild is slimy.

My experience with Eliesa is that she is a total fucking moron who doesn't know how to play.

Haha later man. And for what it's worth, in response to your last post, I agree that had the enchanter gone above and beyond (as Nocte and Autumn did), he would have let Autumn keep the sword. It would have been the classy move. But he wasn't wrong to hold onto it, IMO. He just didn't go above and beyond.

By the way, I feel this is getting lost in the discussion: I can't say enough good things about Divinity. I would say a majority of the nicest, most helpful people I've met in game have been Divinity members. I don't believe this is a damning indictment of Divinity, or even of the individuals that may have acted inappropriately. In the end, everything was righted, and it was a sufficiently complex issue to at least excuse, if not condone, a bit of over-zealous loot-whoring.

I'm posting more in defense of the original poster than to say anything bad about anyone. I don't know Shewz, in fact I'd never even heard of him before this thread. But I think his only offense in this whole matter was bringing it to Rants and Flames after being allowed to roll, which should have brought the matter to closure IMO. I don't think he deserves to be crucified for all this when in reality, it seems like he was trying to do the right thing and was taken advantage of for it, to some degree.

The real shame is that the damn King spawned with a Mithril 2-hander, because 99% of the time, this exact situation wouldn't have even resulted in any hard feelings. But because this 1% involved a 10k sword, everyone -- from what seems like a nice guy (Shewz) to a group from a genuinely great guild -- is getting flamed for it.

Rules are rules. Enchanter lost camp. GG on giving up your mith2h for no reason.

Huh...

Loot aside, I figure what he was doing is an exploit. You have charmed a mob. You cannot heal that mob but know if you don't do something, the next spawn will kill your 'pet'. SO, you zone out. Mob loses charm right away and the un-natural healing they do when not being affected by a player kicks in. You zone back in, YAY to fully healed npc tank. Wouldn't it have been faster to camp out and come back in game right away?

You are taking advantage of the system by zoning out.

Nope, really it was the first thing that came to my mind. There is a loop hole here and it is being used. If it is on the up and up to do that, all the power to him. I've only ever played a ranger so in my book when you solo, it is kill or be killed.

I die alot.
