Power leveling and sharing the zone

This. It's up to you to attempt to resolve it first. This simple concept eludes many people, but it's the #1 reason camp disputes piss me off. Petition only after an attempt to reach some reasonable resolution on your own has failed.

That said, camps are not defined by all a party can keep dead. Monopolizing an entire zone is not kosher. If a person insists on acting like the only person in the zone, I'll put them in a different one so they are. If that person comes back or continues to be a pain in my ass somewhere else, the only thing they wind up camping is server select. The xp isn't very good there.

Now THAT is what you want to hear from the people running the server.

I feel your pain, I detest PLers that go into well-populated areas. If I were going to PL somebody in that level range, I'd go somewhere like Permafrost or Runnyeye. Especially since the high lvl was a druid there's no excuse to me since it makes it that much easier to get around.

At the same time, I don't get how you can't get some mobs in that situation. Were there other ppl camping different sides of the house or what? The druid can only be in one place at a time, and disease cloud has a pretty quick cast. Were you checking on the mobs in the maze n stuff too? Those are decent to hunt through for solo / duo to get some kills when mobs are tough to find.

I know it can be frustrating to run around and not see a thing up while the guy has 6 mobs on him, but at the same time, if the druid runs around and can't find anything while he sees you and another group killing your own mobs, and sees this often enough, he might reconsider PLing there. Don't give up, fight the PL jerks!

I was doing some power leveling in Befallen, and a group came in and asked if it was camped. We said nope, go ahead, and we took off somewhere else.

As awesome as the zone experience modifier is, and as easy as it is to pull nearly everything in the zone for the PLee's benefit, it's not worth being a douche and stopping actual groups for enjoying it.

This ^^.

I value my reputation as a friendly player far too much to ever want to be perceived as a jerk.

No one has the right to all the yard trash in Unrest.

Period.

In my opinion, you kind of miss the point of playing on this server if you are being powerleveled. I've never been powerleveled, nor would I want to be. My friend who wants me to get up to his level should just create an alt to go with my new character. But some people don't enjoy the journey, they want to get to the endgame as soon as possible. For me that's when I start a new alt.

Anyhow, onto the point of the original post, if I see someone powerleveling like that I just go find another zone to hunt in. Doesn't mean I like it, but I really don't want to fight it either. I got tired of dealing with powerlevelers in Blackburrow, so I went to Erud's Crossing. It's been a nice change of pace, more relaxing there. Increased my alchohol tolerance and fishing skill while there too =).

I think people are just going to have to stop hunting in unrest at low levels. It's not a big zone anyways so this issue is bound to manifest itself in one way or another. Yeah it does suck, but there are plenty of other great dungeons to hunt in.

I've always been of the opinion that if someone is being PLed they should go to a less popular zone. The likes of unrest is always going to be popular, and it has a low mob population, so go to sola, runnyeye or something.

But then i do understand there are people who will see someone camping something, and logic dictates that they're killing all the spawns so it's their camp, but some individuals will come up and say they can't camp it all and quote server rules to force them to share...

Seems like a lack of communication on both sides. Generally if someone is PLing and I need a few mobs I send a FRIENDLY tell asking if they minded me getting ina few kills as able. That has never not worked. If I had been refused I would just go hunt a hundred other spots a level 10 can hunt and make a mental note to avoid the selfish player in the future. On the other hand when I have been PLing and someone has asked me for certain mobs I always give them the camp they want. It has never once been an issue as long as both parties communicate. Think about the bigger picture. You're level 10. It's not like there aren't plenty of mobs available for everyone. They may have the mobs you want, but it's not like they have a monopoly on level 10 mobs. Better just to let it lie and move along imo. Some people are pretty selfish and from my experience, life is easier to just avoid them. Karma will catch up to selfish players on a server this small. I wouldn't sweat it too much and definitely don't judge a guild based on a couple players.

Ooooh, server select zone sounds fun. How do I get there?
