Found my first a-hole on the Blue Server

[Naethyn]

This is the most important mob on the server you should expect personalities.

Good lord I'm glad I stopped playing this game. I'm almost done forumquesting, too.

Following this logic: If I ran around porting between spawns that I had exact timers on - I could beat all the noobs out of their measley camps by claiming "well no one was camping it so it was FTE"

Yes, exactly, you could do that. But in reality no one does that (except maybe on Red), because there aren't lots of highly desirable camps just sitting around open.

The rules are all about sharing. If you want to go kill King Crush, then port and kill Chief Goonda in West Karana, then gate up to Everfrost to kill Karg IceBear, the game lets you. Why wouldn't it? No one else wants those mobs (if they did, you couldn't do what I just described), so why not let anyone kill them?

But as soon as two people want the same spawn, we have rules to handle that. The Wizard in this scenario followed all those rules, and the OP is calling him an asshole for following those rules.

That type of shit is why people don't stick around. Because sweatlords act shitty and then people defend them by invoking the loopholes in the rules of the server.

First off, the rules are the way they are because we have volunteer-only GMs, not because the staff is malicious.

Second, you're acting like this isn't about two humans playing a shared game, and both wanting some resource in the game ... but that's all it is. The game itself has rules about how to handle such disputes, but the OP doesn't agree with those rules, and thinks he (as a person) deserves this virtual resource more than another human, in spite of those rules. That's all that's going on here.

What's the big deal about this one?

Is there no trivial loot code in the warrens? Must be a luclin thing.

https://wiki.project1999.com/Scepter_of_the_Forlorn

To a low-level player it's just 10 charges of Necro snare ... but the OP got Druid snare at level 1. If he had killed the King, and been lucky enough to get a scepter, he would have been able to save 15 mana 10 times in the future.

To a high-level player, it's a way to gain agro quickly, which can make all the difference between winning and losing a fight involving 50+ players.

One could argue that the Wizard was simply trying to acquire relevant gear his guild could use, and the OP was just trying to cock block him and acquire an item he had no use for (because he got to the empty spawn point a few minutes before the Wizard did).

I think we had it and timelined out of it, but I'd have to check the patch notes page to be sure.

[shovelquest]

I think low level players can sell it.

Yeah, same time we got (I wish) Project M:

November 7, 2001

Trivial Loot code has been removed from the Stonebrunt Mountains and the Warrens.

Totally, and OP has a right to farm it just like any other player. But he doesn't get an exclusive claim on the mob because he's lower level, and the Wizard isn't an asshole for farming an item his guild can use.

Again, they're just two humans who want the same thing in the game ... but the OP was unaware of the of the game's rules for settling that situation.
