So, question about server behavior

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.

Follow up question based on your 2cp. Why would a level 60 from a well established raid guild need to act like a jerk over the spawn then? If it should be considered a waste of time for a 35 shaman to try to make money off the spawn, then it shouldn't even be considered at all by a level 60 who raids regularly. Right?

Time is much better spent rolling and winning fake Torpor, imo.

Thanks for the advice, I may do this. I was just bored of killing Sarnaks for xp in LOIO, and decided to take a break and try for a cash drop that could earn 1-2k.

Your logic is sound, and I will most likely adhere to that course of action when I log back in this evening. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

To those who are saying to petition (and this is an actual question, not a troll), what would he complain about exactly?

As I understand it, you can only hold 1 camp, ie. one placeholder/rare mob spawn. Grachnist can spawn at many points, so it's not one camp. You can't hold all the hill giants, or all the seafuries, or whatever to yourself either right?

And even if it is one camp, OP couldn't hold the whole camp, so the other people were entitled to at least part of it right?

What am I missing?

Wow. Here it is, people. The real problem. It's someone trying to advance their character at an appropriate-level camp.

What a ridiculous statement.

I didn't mean it like "those people are assholes but this guy's the real problem". I just meant that the "real problem", in a sense, was the fixation lower levels tend to have on getting plat (I had it too, not judging). The truth is, for many classes (certainly shaman) it's almost always better for lower levels to work on XP rather than suffering the misery of plat camps like this. I'm NOT saying the OP shouldn't have been there, I'm just saying they could have avoided the whole situation entirely, leveled up at any of the millions of places a Shaman can go, and then in a few levels gotten plat easier elsewhere. That's all.

Totally. As I said, OP had every right to be there, and the people who came along were assholes. We're on the same page there.

But that's talking about right and wrong. What I'm saying is, in a practical sense, if OP's goal is to get more powerful and not just to explore (although honestly you can explore better at higher levels also) then he's going to get more bang for his buck at an XP camp.
