So the whole point of this is to prevent stall tanking right? What about the new escalation of tactics where the two "trackers' are face tracking characters armed with discs and donal's bps?

Would like a staff response please.

It's not stalling if the monk+cleric with Donals is all that's needed to kill the mob - there are no rules against how long you take to kill a mob.

You see this in politics everyday. What BDA has done here is get out ahead of the story, smeared their opponent publicly, making them look pathetic and toxic, an unsympathetic non-human, before they ever get a chance to defend themselves. Great group of dudes.

That's how VT and VD works - it's a long spawn time with a random pop, and both are hotly contested. I lost a ton of VT/VDs to Taken/TMO/IB/etc who were faster getting a force there, even though I had a mule or myself there watching it pop, that's just how it goes. If you don't want your camping to go to waste, then you better have some friends with characters logged out in Neriak to kill it quickly before guilds start showing up.

First one to get a sufficient force (pretty much all you need is a monk+healer to kill it) is going to pull it and try to kill it. If they wipe, then whatever other forces are there give it a go.

You can't compare a named with a PH on a 27 min timer like Chief in Droga to an epic mob with a 2-7 day timer.

How exactly do you defend ninjalooting? If it was defensible, then Hollywood wouldn't have been banhammered so quickly.

no kill force = no camp

verina can't really be camped unless you've got multiple no lifers willing to wait it out

it's a FTE and you weren't F

that being said, bda still sucks

4. Several minutes pass by and I see the corpse off to the side of the group collecting dust. I loot it and there was the book.

This is where you lost your mind right?

you never had a force period

you were supposed to wait

I was caught off guard - not so naive to believe BDA wouldn't show up, though I honestly thought they'd give me a chance, or at least talk to me.

There's no talking needed, it's a contested epic mob. If you are unguilded, Chest probably has no reason to talk to you during a race for a mob.

Yes so I keep hearing, when it suits people.

I see, I see. I wasn't aware of there being a caste system. Maybe that explains a lot.
I guess that's solid defense whenever ethics are in question.
