Hilarious entitlement

[skarlorn]

OP was working from home today. He used 1 monitor to display the Everquest Project 1999 Blue Server upon which he, on occasion, murdered and consumed the nutrients (loot) of brave Deputy Hobbits. On the other two monitors, he coded diligently. You can check his bank account and see the numbers there attest to the quality of work he rendered today. I hope this helps clear it up for your records.

I know, right? And I just finished working for the day.

But where were you working from, again? One more time, please?

Moral of the story: This is an 18 (almost 19) year old elf sim. It's not the end of the world. Don't feel like your entitled to a camp for xp over someone killing for platinum. We all have our MOs for as to why we camp things. I'm sure there are plenty of people that camp Spore King in Seb for the Fungi, rather than the xp. The same can be applied to other camps throughout Norrath.

The only issue I have with that stance would be high level players farming CB belts or gnoll teeth with AoE mass genocide when new players or even established players going for a non twinked 'authentic' experience have the majority of the zone killed in front of them. Seriously, fuck those guys. I guess the situation of a level 24 getting no exp while farming Sisters in lesser fay would depict a pure dogshit example of a person too.

Apart from that, I have no dog in this fight. Bored people using the auction website scroll have been known to kill DE guards in Nektulos for spare bronze sword plat that were far above their level, etc. No one gives two shits. The player described as being sad that you were killing halfling guards could go kill guards in Misty Thicket or go kill guards in West Karana at the towers, or grow some balls and kill solo in a dungeon for the exp bonus and move on.

I simple friendly tell goes a long way. More times than not you can get high level players to leave you a low level farm spot if you want to exp there by being nice. If someone goes to ooc right away and throws a hissy fit I will tell them to fuck their father in the shower and grab a snack.

So... I'm in Rivervale today while I work from home. Of course on my work from home days, I'll have EQ open on one monitor and code out of the other two. So I take a break from time to time and kill the deputies to earn some platinum. Well today I learned how some folks on this server feel like they're entitled to camps. I come off afk and start killing deputies and about 2 deputies in, I start seeing Darkfae, member of Dawn Believers (/anon doesn't protect you from /guildstatus), start throwing a temper tantrum in /ooc over me killing deputies for plat versus xp. When I responded to him at the end of my kill cycle he decides to go the child route and sling insults and profanity. At which point, I told him if he wants to sling insults he should take it to tells because I don't mind it. I'm just sure that someone else might like another player, his guild leader, or a GM/Guide. It's not like I farm these deputies all the time, but more so when I want a little extra bit of plat while I work from home. If Darkfae would've sniped the camp while I was afk, then good on him. But he didn't, and he threw a temper tantrum over it. Furthermore, if I don't get a chance at the camp while I work from home, then its no big deal. Period.

You present a calm and pleasant demeanor. I imagine you'd consider working something out with the guy to share spawns or perhaps you'd even give them up if he was nice and asked.

That being said, this is almost as bad as the half AFK 50+ levels who sit in EC on the Orc camps to farm Deathfist Slashed Belts while lvl 6-10s in cloth armor have nothing but crappy spiders, Pumas, and lions to kill for XP. Can you really not find less accessible cash camps to farm for plats? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

The halflings are not only decent cash for newer players, they are awesome XP. The fact Filbus is hurt every time a halfling is killed only gives a newer player that added bonus.

I just find it douchey killing vastly underconned mobs in a noob zone for plats, and I never do it personally even if it is allowed "by the rules." Anytime someone uses "it's allowed under the rules" as a defense typically knows what they are doing is douchey. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

This is implying that someone shouldn't farm a camp even when nobody is there because you feel it's "douchey." This sounds completely crazy to me. What it boils down to is people need to communicate better with each other. If you can't act right then don't expect to get a camp you feel you're entitled to.

Common sense should prevail. For instance I have no issue with a high level camping Orc belts when no lowbies are interested in hunting at the Orc camps.

That being said, I personally have had contentious convos when approaching high levels farming the belts when I was on my lowbies and can see why Darkfae reacted aggressively.

I wouldn't be surprised if he tried the "nice" approach in the past and was told "it's in the rules I'm allowed to farm here get lost nub." Not justifying or condoning his supposed behavior, I am just saying I can empathize with his frustration.

I personally don't hold low level camps hostage for plats with my high levels particularly in high population zones or zones that are easily accessed and played in by lowbies. That's just me.

I could sympathize as well, however, I'm not one to bend the knee to some dude being a dick when I haven't provoked or slighted him in any manner. I honestly had no idea he was in zone and planning to snipe camp (if thats even the correct term to use for this situation) from me while I was afk until I hopped up from Feign Death and was well into slaughtering Filbus' kinfolk. However I'm not going to concede to his argument that he is there solely for the xp. Anyone who camps Deputies while they're gaining xp is doing it to get that added bonus of the coin. It may not be the fastest coin, but its consistent.

Not a very good RNF thread, but OP doesn't seem ill-mannered in the least bit.

Darkfae will have a blackspot on him from this day forward TBH.
