Do I grind exp? Or do I grind plat? There are times when we can do both, but there's also times when we don't get that benefit. For some classes (melee) grinding up plat can yield more improvements to your character via gear upgrades than levels will provide, and vice versa for casters. Outside of those choices, and what this post is pointing towards, we are often faced with the decisions on how we treat others while pursuing plat or levels, right? And this is where things can get tough, but I'd suggest a third object we can "grind." That's our reputations on this server. In the crushbone scenario, I bet the best outcome could have been the higher level Xaiterlyn offering to help out the lowbies retake their camp. Sit with them a bit and share some light banter or chit chat about whatever everyone can find in common. Give them some buffs, establish some rapport, and maybe offer to buy a few of the belts/pads off the lowbies so they have some walking-around money. It's like you can opt to take the higher road or w/e, but I still think we can view this as earning reputation with each other. The majority of conversations I see on this game point in two directions: 1) Plat or 2) Get to 60. Not many voices out there championing the idea of community, and pursuing an adventure instead of money or power.

in all fairness
Yes, I did take on throne room, because I just zoned in and saw no one was there. I needed the pads for an alt. I was going by the guidelines of camps. I was in throne room for ten minutes before I see in ooc that tr group was lfm. But I was only one there. I was about to let them have it back until I was called childish names. I usually do helplower characters, but not with that attitude. Ask around, I'm not some douche who just goes around taking camps. In fact I'm very helpful if you are nice to me and treat me with respect. And on a side note, I didn't know I had to be amazing at a game I play for fun.

One small suggestion which you can throw away if you'd like... If someone runs up on you and has a tantrum over what they think is happening without being rational, don't immediately lower yourself to that behavior. Getting some enraged tells can be annoying especially when they're attacking you as a person, but you're above that. Try to sort through the whines and find out how to get everyone on the same page tactfully. Maybe even apologize even if you weren't in the wrong. Personally, I had an incident last night where some lowbie was dying behind me in WC while I was sorting throw tells on my Druid (member of Dial a Port, so this is how I make my plat right now [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]). I didn't catch on to what exactly was happening until to late, and the dude died. That guy was giving me some grief for a good while, but I kept apologizing to him and tried to explain to him what I was dealing with at the time. Never once did I tell him to eff off. After awhile he apologized to me, and told me about how he's had it rough for awhile. It's definitely worth it to be the good guy imo.
