Sir Lucan D'Lere - FTE or Camp?

[Rajahten]

Yes that's what this post is about, and I am that Paladin.

I was camping Lucan for several hours because a nice member of Indig gave me his previous ToD from 2-3 kills ago. So I had a vague mindframe,

He popped maybe 30 minutes after I thought he would, and I had already prematurely contacted a GM in fear of Lucan being sniped. I had a 60 Monk with me, and a 60 Warlock and 60 Shaman close by who offered to help.

Literally within a second of Lucan spawning, he was sniped. I asked politely in tells for him to show a little bit of respect because I was a paladin working on epic, and he was a 60 war trying to get another clicky. I asked him 4-5 times in tells, he ignored. I asked his clr healer buddy, he told me he couldn't help me. So, the GM who sat with me intervened. Told the war that Lucan is indeed a camp. The war argued with the GM, and another GM came. ETC ETC. In the end, I got the testament.

My point is - I didn't even have a CHANCE to pull, nor did my monk friend. The war just popped out of invis and was gone with Lucan.

Thanks to Indig for helping a lowbie Paladin out. Thanks to the GMs for standing up on the matter. I've spent weeks and weeks trying to get this thing.

Also, name and shame. What guild were they in?

Although I dislike what they did, I don't want to stoop to their level and name them. I am happy with the results and I am not going to fuel anything [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I got FTE on my warrior Keary in AG. I was under the impression Lucan was an FTE mob due to my many past experiences. I have no shame in what I did because I thought I was within the rules. I was not apparently and the rule needs to be consistent across the board (they are not). I will just AFK camp him when needed moving forward and toss out petitions when somebody attacks him before me...

Only reason I need to kill Lucan is to compete against guilds such as the Paladin's that was camping Lucan. I didn't ask for the raid environment to be so cutthroat that I need to try and FTE Lucan from a Paladin in a competing guild but it is what it is. Don't take it personal, it was strictly business.

I wasn't afk, just for the record. I was there every second of the time I spent camping him and was prepared to engage within several minutes.

Having SoulFire to clicky isn't the make or break difference between you and some other guild and you know it. Also rules lawyering is for dicks. You're a dick.

This entire post was about you justifying why you're a twat. Just own it - you were a twat and you got slapped for it.

Also today Moregan intervened AG FTE'ing Lucan from a Paladin who was camping him for his epic. Guessing what this post is about.

And I agree, consistency would be nice. Indig was unaware of this rule about a month prior and we had two members slapped with a week ban out of no where.

EverQuest is a MMORPG. When you log into EverQuest, and you see all those other people running around with blue and purple (and sometimes red) names over their heads, please realize that those are real people who are here to play and enjoy the game, just like you.

If you show up to camp something, and there is another player already there, try talking to them like the real person that they are! Communicating your intentions (as well as learning what their intentions are) can go a long way to avoid a conflict.

Silently standing in a corner with invis on waiting for the exact moment a mob pops to steal it is not only against the rules, it is a surefire recipe for conflict. Please try to be communicative with other players about camps like this. Talking it out can spare a lot of unnecessary trouble.

We are doing our best to make Project 1999 a fun and hospitable place to enjoy classic EQ. Every time you are able to work something out directly with another player, it helps the staff tremendously.

Thank you for your cooperation!

Thanks
-Moregan

A++ best GM out there thanks for your service Moregan.
