That's the increasing difference on P99 vs "classic" on live - players increasingly give no shits about who you are

This is so sad too [You must be logged in to view images.

Unfortunately this is reflected in the default greed before need attitude of 99% of the pick-up groups out there.

Grachnist can appear anywhere in there though right, and multiple times? The camp isn't so worthwhile if you're cut down to a few hut spawns.

Also I should say that my last post wasn't intended as a dig at the GMs. You can't police 1200 people and make them all "be nice" all of the time... but it is a shame that people don't CC and ask people what they're up to [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Was on my SK in LOIO earlier, the usual shit... bard just comes by and sweeps the area clean. Told him to leave me a few, no response.

I guess you can put it down to people being bored, waiting for Velious, camping items for their alts etc.

There's still good people out there it has to be said... just a shame to see this kind of thing [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

He usually spawns close to (& then runs through) the IBL camp. He can appear at the main camp also. I have no proof but what I have witnessed by my own actions. A friendly ranger ran by when I was camping the goblin town... sure enough the ranger said he was by IBL camp & that Grachnist was on tracking. Ranger was an awesome girl (or guy - but it was a female character) and dragged it over to me as I ran from gob town. When I was killing @ IBL camp I did also kill 3 Grachnist's but the earring is not commonly dropped.

I think we all have a story or several about someone unpleasant coming along to ruin the fun.

Ya, even harder is that you can't camp a mob without a static spawn.

Send a petition.. if a GM see's it and its way too late for them to even be effectual in your situation, you at least sent the names.. the GM's keep track of all that stuff. And if these people think that what they're doing is on the level, they're gonna do it again and again, sooner or later the GM will notice that they're seeing the same names come up again and again and tend to side with the petitioners in the future.

Tell them that you petitioned them too, and if they say smack back to you just ignore them.

Sucks to hear you got robbed of a nice night [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

*edit -grammer.. also is effectual even a word? :P

Not happening, for the same reason I decided not to petition it. It's just a game in the end, someday the server will shut down and all these pretty pixels will be lost to the black space in the internet microcosm.

Thank you all for your opinions and explanation of the server rules. I wasn't sure if CC's were binding, or what constituted "camping" a mob. This helps clear up what I need to do in order to legally "camp" a spawn or area.

See you in Norrath [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

What would the forum lurkers suggest to a young Shaman such as myself in this situation.

I started camping the East side of the goblin fort in Warslik's Woods for Grachnist at 9:30 pm last night.

First off, I agree with everyone here: while it sounds like those people were technically playing by the rules (because technically you couldn't hold the whole camp and Grachnist could spawn anywhere) they were definitely being jerks.

But that being said, here's the real problem: what are you doing hunting Grachnist in the first place? As a Shaman you really don't need gear yet (other than the random drops you pick up while XPing). At 45 you'll want to get yourself a JBB, and then you will want to earn plat, but by then you'll be able to do hill giants, town guards, farm rare drops in places like Drooga and LGuk, etc.

The point is, you'll be able to earn plat even better when you're 45, and until then you don't really need plat, so why make yourself miserable fighting over some annoying goblin? Just go XP, have fun, and by the time you need plat you'll be able to get it without having to put up with this nonsense.

Just my 2cp.
