This made me lol

As a list holder / chardok runner, it's more work than you'd think herding these cats.

This is true. If you've never done it, you have no idea what's involved. I mean, it's not rocket science, but it's more of a hassle than running a normal dungeon XP group. There's a lot to keep up with in maintaining the XP group rotation, managing the list and making sure that everyone stays on the ball, because a single mistake by anyone in the group will cause a wipe. And wiping an AOE is not a risk in the sense that you have a bad CR, but because it means you just wasted about half an hour it takes to rez up and reorganize everything. And anyone who has done Chardok AOE knows how a wipe lowers group morale, which often leads to multiple wipes in a row, at which point you start losing people. It can quickly turn into a mess if the group isn't well-managed. When I first started doing AOE I was in a poorly-run group that managed five pulls and five wipes in a three hour period. Three hours for negative XP gain. It was awful. In contrast, I once ran an extremely productive group that managed nine consecutive pulls without a wipe. So it's not like you can just show up in Chardok and are guaranteed free XP, even as a proxy. You need a good leader and competent players. The pulls and kills may look easy, but that just means that everyone in the group is doing exactly what they should be. The moment they don't, even for a second, the whole group wipes.

what is with this server .. if they dont like it they want the gm to fix it ... to make more rule more red tape ..... FFS people there are other zones quit bitching when people are doing things the way you want and move the fuck on,... biggest group of bitchy girls ive ever been around .... and i agree with the post a few post ago .. that zone had nobody in it at all ever so why the fuck should the whole sever need a new rule just because you "might" wanna go exp there ... youre just bitching to bitch at that point

Does the Manisi herb ever drop/rot or is that not in the pull normally?

It wouldn't let me quote it for some reason but the following is in the pay nice policy posted by Derubael.

"That being said, you can absolutely "camp" mobs, and youcannot*steal another players 'camp'. In general, if the placeholder or placeholders for a spawn are being killed, that 'camp' can be considered held by the player doing the killing so long as they are keeping the placeholders cleared. You do not necessarily need to be at the spawn point to call it 'claimed' while it is uncontested, however, if someone else wishes to contest the 'camp' you do need to return to the 'camp' and*maintain a presence at or very near the spawn(s)*in order to hold it. You cannot hold multiple 'camps' if another group wishes to contest one that you are holding. The player holding multiple 'camps' retains the right to choose which 'camp' to give up."

That seems pretty self explanatory. Chardok ae groups have to give up pulling for a certain camp if a group moves into it.

The question then is, is training a zone full of mobs over another player's camp allowed?
