If your going to claim a camp I think you should be there to defend it. If you wish to afk, that is fine, but if that mob pops, and your still afk, then you shouldnt be able to claim that camp. Classic eq, was first to hit, got the mob.. didnt matter how long you sat there afk, on some safe hillside, outside of the room, in some safe corner while you afk...

Deny the boxers all you wish, keep your blinders up and ignore them all you want. Make excuses for them, and yourself, if that makes you happy. Afterall, what is the point of playing a game, if your not going to play, but sit on one spot, afk 58 minutes out of each hour? Yes, they are doing something more productive with their other 58 minutes, playing other alts, camping other spawns, selling their wares in EC..

Some people are here to play a game. Not to build up a bank account, not to sell shit for real cash and not to cheat in order to get ahead. Some people, actually like to crawl through dungeons, like to challenge themselves in good game play. Some people refuse to be plvld, rezed, or twinked. There are some people who want 1999 because it is more challenging, than the live dumbed down versions.

If you are afk when something pops then you do lose the camp, so your rant is terrible. The rules just say you have to give them a reasonable amount of time, maybe send them a quick /t and see if they are around. If they don't engage then you can take over the camp.

If someone was sitting at a mob, you message them, if 30 seconds go by with no action taken then you are free to engage. I don't think anyone would be against you taking over and you should have a strong case if the guy tried to get you in trouble with a gm.

As for you saying boxers are the ones afk.. thats dumb. Anyone that is camping something with a long timer is most likely afk during some point of it. Whether or not you are afk watching a movie, or a boxer like you mentioned. In either case if they are competent at camping in any way they will know when the spawn is coming and be active when it pops.

Thank you very much for the support. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] I understand the circumstances are suspicious at best but I had nothing to do with the disappearance of Bilge. To be fair, she was asking for a port to BB for 50 plat and I was porting a lowbie to Steamfront, so I offered her a lift to come and tag along so she didn't have to pay that much money. But she did pay me, so BB it was!
Unfortunately, though, Bilge did poof. I suppose it just irks me that I was teasing and being nice and I am repaid with this due to circumstances. But if one sees that I ported her there, started it track it for her, and then when she arrived continued to look for it for ~10 minutes before she posted the "congrats on your PTK/reedbelt" and then immediately offered my own reed belt before she vanished without a trace, it is a horribly dumb crime considering how easy it would be to just disband while I was in BB, go Anon, nuke Bilge, and port out while she was none the wiser.
To be fair, though, I did set myself up though by proclaiming to take it when anyone or anything could have easily turned it against me. Lesson learned. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Well I read through the group chat and on the 33rd group line down she told you she wanted to kill him but planned on letting you loot. You were also told she had planned on porting you for free when you brought up the 50 plat, so I don't see why there had ever been a misunderstanding.

I don't even see how this was misconstrued at all, Serendipity was obviously joking. Especially after she said: "Karma blessed me, im not gonna be a bitch after that."

ITT: A person boxing or using showeq getting mad at a druid offering a free port, free tracking, and telling jokes.

This is the thing, most people would only see the :

1. Racing you to the mob
2. Are you srsly? Srsly

Any statement after that would not be recongised because they already selected the part they saw to be WTF. Then in your mind you already think "this dude screwed me". NO I CAN NOT TAKE A JOKE SRSLY

Seriously guys, all you're doing is playing judge, jury, and executioner based on your own pure speculation. Here are the facts from the screenshot:

You tell your party, "You gonna do me like that?"
Serendipity tells the group, "No, Karma just blessed me like a saint"
Serendipity tells the group, "I got AC and reed belt in less than an hour"
Serendipity tells the group, "I'm not gonna be a bitch after that."

She straight up tells the OP that no, she's not going to "do [him] like that", despite the fact the OP F'd up and mentioned Bilge being up. Probably shows everyone his pocket cards before the betting starts while playing poker, too. She then proceeds to tell him that she's going to help him track and kill Bilge and let him loot. Just like she killed Maid Issis for me in Mistmoore and let me loot. So as far as I'm concerned, her helpful attitude is par for the course.

Assuming that she would do anything otherwise is pure speculation on your part. Wouldn't it make MORE sense, if she intended to use the knowledge that Bilge was up, for her to wish you luck, disbanded the group, ran off, anon'd, camo'd herself, and used track to beat you to the spawn without a single word. Unless you were using ShowEQ, being a shaman, you would have never known the difference because she would have found Bilge before you, drug him off to God knows where in DC, and you would have never known other than if you did a /who and saw her name pop up... even then you would still be speculating why she was there.

Or, why even give you the play-by-play when she was in DC? She was trying to re-assure you of her intentions. She could have just as easily told you "I don't see him on track, you sure he was up?" while she was busy beating his ass, and again, you would have never known any different.

But she didn't... she clearly stated her intentions to you, and then she got fucked because the Fantastic 4 (or heaven forbid some other druid noticed Bilge was up in the time it took for you to get your port and for her to get there) most likely killed him off. Further compounding the issue, she had told you playfully (as with anyone with a sense of humor can tell) "SO GONNA RACE YOU!!" What a slap in the vag for Serendipity... here she was honestly trying to hook you up and it completely backfired on her and made her look like she ganked the spawn on you. That'll be the last time she hooks anyone up or tries to be silly.

And yes, I suppose this is all speculation on my part too, but the difference is I'm basing mine on the limited interaction I have had with her in the past, whereas you have had no prior interaction with her to base your speculation on. Like I said above... she didn't have to let me loot the Maid fang. She got to the spawn first, it was rightfully hers. She gave the fang to me because she is nice. Not the bitch everyone is for some reason trying to make her out to be.

I'm with Nalkin on this. From what I've seen, she's cool. This whole situation backfired on her. The rest of you, have fun with your witch-hunt.

How can one claim Bilge's spawn. It is a zonewide spawn, it is my understanding you can't camp that shit. I've had 2 Bilge spawns ganked from me by other druids, even after I snared them (first to aggro both times) and proceeded to DoT them (this was before I knew he only had like 600 health). I didn't bitch, because, its fair game... I mean, yea it sucked, but the mob spawns randomly from about 5ish PHers in the zone. I had no claim to that mob nor did the other druid, whoever kills first wins imo.

All of them path through the fantastic four so often times he does get killed and his corpse poofs, as horrible as it sounds [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] .

Regardless if I had been there for 5 minutes (which has happened $$) or 5 hours (again also happened), the mob is fair game to anyone who kills him.
