I think it has to do with the newness of the server TBH. On Blue, people were really kind all the time in my experience.

With the new servers, everyone is starting from scratch, so people are more focused on/value more their plat and loot. With only classic content available, certain popular areas are very crowded and overcamped, which leads to more confrontations and tension. I think as the server ages a bit more and we get closer to Kunark, it will start getting better and people will chill out a bit more.

Wishful thinking but the pixel sickness doesnt get better with more playing - it only gets worse

It was at this point I decided to no longer be kind to the casuals as they have extreme short term memory. They did this to themselves, unfortunately.

Obviously theres no obligation from anyone to do anything like that so im not butthurt or anything
I tell him "Its kind of messed up you let me die, but its ok, she only had a rusty dagger"
not butthurt or anything
If I were in his position I would have taken out the pet for the other guy
and then hits TRADE!
at this point im feeling bad for the guy
I tried to make him feel better
I just wanted people to know about the amazing thing Kalsto did
I petitioned to see if a GM could help think of a way to somehow reward this guy
I hope you didn't sprain anything from these mental gymnastics.

Pyzjn camp is just the devil and just a stupid script with a way too low spawn and drop rate. The dumbass I am already spent 150+ hours on that camp, killed her myself about 20 times, maybe even more and seen a few people kill it the same amount. She dropped GBS only 3 times in all those kills. I got my GBS on live within a shorter timesink than here on green. They should really change this and it gets me even to consider quiting greenserver. Its even a harder camp than Manastone with /list.

This one of the easiest camps in the game due to the way p99 scripted it....

Super easy to spend all game night making her pop using a well made guide on how to spawn her via. (Easy to find said guide.)

Or if you want to do something even easier and super lazy like I was, camp a ranger there and log in once it's time for the first possible spawns and track. If the mobs did the spawn work for you, go kill. If she isn't spawned, log off. I imagine I spent around 10 total minutes of actual game time to get mine, over a relaxing 5 day period.

Are you referencing the guide on the wiki? If so, something seems off...I'm definitely not getting a PH in those spots listed every 3 minutes on the dot. At least not on Teal.

You don't need to feel guilty or give the guy thanks for doing a decent thing-- like someone else said doing the right thing is thanks enough. Besides, If guy wasn't there, you would have medded up and gotten the stone yourself anyway, so...

And yeah it was dumb of you to engage prematurely, but if you hadn't engaged, he would have taken the camp from you. Regardless, of whether people consider killing PH's as 'camping' her, it technically is. Just because she wanders a bit, and is level 20 or whatever and its easy to one-shot her at higher levels, doesn't mean he had the right to her over you. People treat it as first come first serve with Pyz, but if you're sitting there trying to get her to spawn for hours, you're entitled to her camp, because you are actively trying to get her to spawn. It's still camp stealing when someone takes it from you, which means if that had happened then you could have petitioned and you would have won.

Instead he waited for you to die and stole your spawn, then he felt like a shit about it and gave you the item that should have been yours-- an item that you had been camping for days. Don't feel guilty. He can camp her for 3 days like you did and get his dumb stone like the rest of us.

I had Pyz nuked from under me when I camped her on Blue a long time ago-- I was actively fighting her on my similar-level character (she was bluebie to me), I didn't need help, had been fighting her for a good 30 seconds, and some level 50 literally just one-shotted her to steal the GBS from me because they saw she was just over half health.

And yeah, you can just easily steal Pyz away from someone engaging her or camping her, and people do-- But just because you can do that, doesn't mean you should, and doesn't mean you're in the right for doing so.

People saying you 'don't deserve it' or whatever, are nuts. Just showing up to kill something someone else was camping and died to is not 'deserving' of it btw, lol.
