This is what we call KSing

By letter of the law, but i'd hope that if a gm were to intervene, he'd see that the person aggroing 4 mobs and progressing to kill them 1 by 1 whilst others have to stand around and wait would see someone being greedy and overlook the person who takes one.

It's a similar concept to aggroing a boss. If you aggro a boss and kite it around whilst the rest of the raid preps or kills trash, then another guild is perfectly entitled to engage the boss. Same principles should apply to this situation.

Not as easy for a shaman, which is the only class I've witnessed doing this so far in the past couple of days.

Obviously the point is to stick around one area and get as many mobs for yourself as possible.

I know the pain. I watched an Enchanter "engage" 3 SF at once last night. He took literally over 20 minutes to drop all 3. That's 20 minutes that people had to wait for those 2-3 mobs to respawn and be free. If you can't take them down, you shouldn't be able to just tag them and hold them.

Well...EQ is a big place, if someone doesn't want to wait they can head elsewhere I suppose and let the greedy or those unwilling to compromise do what they do. It's about what makes the game fun for you and abiding by the rules while doing it. If its allowed and its annoying you, move on yes? Why thrash another person having fun because you want what they got? If someone's idea of having fun is making coin for the hours they play then so be it. Wait for the first mob they have to die. While they are killing the others, tag the new pops?

Not to mention soloing 5 furies at a time is fun, one is not.

Maybe if a solo rogue is kiting 8.... just to be a dick. if i have 5 rooted/ dotted and im working in the area, stay the fuck away from me.

And you know the rules omni, raid bosses are another topic. By far.
