Imagine posting a completely unrelated analogy for a ManaStone camp in everquest and failing to realize the disconnect in even thinking this is apt! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I do think for some people here getting the mana stone is as important (or more?) thank getting a lifesaving kidney [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Remember when Boromir joined the Fellowship of the Rings and started off as good-guy human pally but then was tempted by the power of the One Ring and overcome by greed and lust for power, which caused him to betray and deceive his pals and ultimately destroy himself and his reputation forever?

This is kinda like that.

Because that's a totally reasonable analogy... [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I think everyone involved in this situation was a shitbag. The list was created to cut down on CSR tickets for the staff. It was NOT created to turn these rare camps into some kind of black friday bullshit where all you have to do is stand in line and claim your prize.

You guys are assholes for not helping him and keeping the line moving.

He was an entitled shitbag for wanting strangers to camp an item for him.

The list MUST be tweaked to avoid people exploiting it like this. I agree that the minimum level needs to be raised. To be on the list you should be capable of SOLOING what you are camping. You know, like how normal camps work?

I once played a game where camps worked by people grouping together to kill stuff, even if they weren't first in line for the loot. You may have heard about it, is called classic eq.

What if you have to use the bathroom? How do you not fail the AFK check?

I don't think anyone on the list is leaving their computer chair to take a shit.

Going to the bathroom would also mean these pathetic souls might accidentally have to look at themselves in the mirror...
