What can and can't be "camped"

[kotton05]

Let's use another example. If you're using an outdoor zone let's use a mob like quillmane who Has multiple spawn points. If you're only on one point and other buddy is killing the trigger then he spawns at a diff spawn point Quillmane will then be FFA and not a claimable mob even tho you triggered him. Most won't be waiting to snipe it but if they do they are well within their right to do so even tho it's a shit bag thing to do.

Be reasonable. Goes both ways though. Don't be that jerk who think an entire area is yours. It might be optimal for you if no one contests, in this case, crag spiders but that is simply not how the cookie crumbles.

That said, if you see several people already at it, it is going to suck for everyone.

You can even do the radical thing and group.

Also, if a mob has been engaged by someone, via shooting an arrow, casting a snare, body pulling, whatever. Then that mob is claimed. What that Druid was doing when he was casting on your mobs is a clear violation of the rules unless you had more than 4 following you or were in need of help.

In your situation -- you are absolutely entitled to kill any/all free-standing roaming outdoor mobs. If they are not engaged immediately on spawn, they are not camped and are considered free game. Rather it's Pegasus roaming around Karana, AC in south ro, or spidery hell.. You should have politely requested him to stop KSing you - because that's what was happening. He wasn't 'defending his spawn', or whatever.. He was stealing kills off you trying to thug you out.

Next time, petition.

Thanks everyone for the responses. Sounds like my original understanding was more or less correct.

I keep this convo with brakdaddy in my back pocket when people want to try to lawyerquest. if a mob is down, it's camped as long as you are in the zone to answer cc's. one major aspect that many people forget is that you don't have to physically be at the spawn point to consider a mob camped as long as you are only camping that single spawn point. if you feel a group may contest, be at the camp before the mob spawns. once you or your group leave the zone or wipe, the camp is technically open per server rules.

too many people feel entitled to a camp just because they call a cc first. what annoys me is when a group 'claims' a camp when they haven't even cleared the first ph. it's proper etiquette to claim the camp the moment the ph is down, not while you're clearing down. if you're clearing down, clarify that on a cc (honesty will help you more than hurt you). another thing I despise is when a camp is called, but the group is secretly stalling (and the ph has been up for a while, 30min or more) until they can find the proper group to clear the ph.

above all, don't be rude or nerdrage. if you can't have a mature conversation bc the person is emotional, just put in a petition and wait for a GM.

Yea but if you want to use brak quotes I can use one where he's describing a raid target where if it's contested you can ks xD

if at any point you're answering your CC and mobs are not dead (the ph or camp in question) anyone can come take your so called camp just to reiterate what you pointed out.


Overall it's best to just talk to who's around and if they're chill work with them ���� Otherwise good luck lawyering

I've had a few situations when I used to kill the crag spiders in EK.

1) 2-3 of us (solo) would be doing our own thing, grabbing what we could kill.
2) 3-5 of us (3 grouped, 2 solo) would be doing our own thing, grabbing what we could kill.
3) A higher level would come in need of silk. I offered to sell all the silk I had so I could continue grinding exp. Every time this situation arose the higher level would take the silk, thank me, and leave. One time the person said they weren't allowed to trade outside the guild - I gave him my stacks for free, and they left.

Bottom line, those mobs are fair game, that druid should have let you have the couple to kill in the spawn time. However they were clearly there for silk, try offering some to them next time, you may even make some PP w/o having to go to EC!
