Seriously, this topic is almost 13 years old. It's ready for a training bra.

Seriously! Where have I been?!? I don't remember a topic about this 13 years ago, hell I don't remember what I ate for lunch yesterday. This training bra you mention does it raise my charisma and have cold resistence and a click mez spell.

Ah okay. Troll thread and I bit.

Check.

Either that or you're just looking for a reason to argue with folks. Whatever blows your hair back.

Do you have anything to say about going anon or camping that was brought in this thread? I like to discuss and debate, it's fun, blows my hair back as you would say =)

Sure! Here goes:

It doesn't bother me one little bit, and is each player's individual decision and right as to whether or not they go /role or /anon.

If I'm playing my wife's druid, I go anon instantly. If I'm playing her toon, it's to catch her XP up to mine and not field a single port request.

On my paladin, I rarely go /role or /anon. The group invites in /tell are really nice. On my live server, paladins rarely got unsolicited tells for groups. I love getting those tells!

From my perspective alone, I'm quite surprised other players' use of these tags bothers you. The only thing I understand is being frustrated after getting to a zone that looked empty due to /anon and it being full of farmers. I don't agree with getting upset enough over it to start a thread, but I sure understand it.

Consider thine hair back blown!

waiting for camps is a waste of time...why dont you join red and claim your camp whenever you want?

[usedtobejubaloftorv]

If I am busy doing something on my druid I make myself anon because otherwise I'll get too many "port me" tells. Being a non-anon druid in an outdoor zone can be especially bad, I'll get a tell every 15 minutes or even more. At a certain point it's just easier to hit anon rather than have to say 'no' to a succession of people, any of whom might take it as a personal affront.

Regarding /anon or /role causing you to be mistaken about whether a zone is crowded/camped etc:

If you're intending on making a trip to a zone that'll take some effort, it's good habit to send a tell to someone that is visible in the zone asking what's camped...particularly if you have a specific spot you'd like to camp.

Not only will you get a better idea of what's going on in the zone, it isn't uncommon to get a response like "We're at sol b royals but we have x person about to leave, want to replace them?". I've been on both sides of this multiple times.

That's a good idea. Thanks!

Yeps. Good advice.

I'll clarify that sometimes, there are only anon folks in a zone, especially the ones where item farming is the attraction. In that instance, you won't see anyone in a /who to ask.

Still, when you arrive and find people, you can either leave or find an unclaimed spot. /shrug

You people are missing the huge appeal of the /role tag. Your name is now purple which is way cooler than being blue.

Also as someone who played a druid on live, I learned to always be role when not LFG.
