Here's the real problem

You're absolutely not wrong and a large majority of normal people who came back to experience green, but with quite different priorities than we may have had in the past, totally relate to this post. Unfortunately those people will often be the very silent majority here.

Ultimately, Danth is quite right. This server will march on under the consistent agenda that has driven it for the last decade. Emulate classic as much as possible and completely ignore the noise. They don't want to split the population and they don't necessarily care that the population demographics make this quite a different experience than it was at 1999, given the same population. I think the fact that Teal was released in the first place is a small miracle.

I think the butthurts played the game doing WHATEVER and had fun in their classic, highly populated servers. IF you played on a low pop server in classic live, then try a lower population server like Blue99 or TAKP and you'll probably be far happier if you play a Massively Multiplayer online game to barely run into other players.

If you want to re-create the past...go kill mobs ANYWHERE and stop congregating to ONLY the super populated zones with the best exp or loot expecting to accomplish all the pixel dreams of your childhood. If you can't have fun playing the game just to play it, without childhood pixel dreams of manastone, guise, constantly looting items upgrades on a populated/competitive server....and you have a successful/busy RL life with family etc, then you're probably far more weird than the average "troll" on this forumquest.

OP, I get it.

Hey I'm just doing what you do to other people. Man up.

Theres literally hundreds of mobs sitting up untouched all day/night in your level range the problem is you are standing in a historically crowded zone waiting for people to leave who never will then posting on forums instead of going to find mobs that are up and killing them.

Again if you are already 50 you are at max xp and have full gear....what are you doing camping areas that 30s are level appropriate for? Why don't they leave until content is back for them to play instead of taking areas from the players who are level appropriate for them?

That player has just as much right to camp a mob as you do... and there are plenty of reasons a higher level player may be camping a lower level mob.

Factioning up so they are not KOS in some city.
Farming for Tradeskills, OMG so much farming needed.
Trying to spawn quest mobs on quests they are doing.

It's been posted many times in this thread, move to uncrowded zones and exp there.

Why don't you post your class and level (and where you have tried to exp and found these level 50 people). I am sure people will make suggestions of where you can go.

You're a Chump, partner....

And these types of players are the ones who have no sense of community or decency as a member of the EQ community. 50's camping non-level appropriate is an issue. I love how you side step it.

Let's apply your logic shall we:

1.The mobs in the camp give me(and my group) exp, therefore since you are gettinng zero exp we have a right to it.
2. These mobs drop items appropriate to my level...so level 50 move please.


The issue is prick players and people not interested in building a solid community within the game. It's amazing how you defended these actions with such good political spin. I love the just move to uncrowded zone because you can get scrapes and pay that level 50 for camping the item that you could get yourself.... love it!

Yet again the issue of 45-50 players camping 30ish camps is being ignored. Yet again this type of behavior with no respect or concern for the community is being pardoned because...well they are 50 and they are entitled.

Why was a level 48 camping Trents in SK? Why was a level 50 camping Gnoll scrolls? Why was a level 47 camping the Oggie shaman in WK? Why was the Ancient Croc camped by a 45 warrior? I never remember seeing LGuk being camped by 50's until this merger. Really? You know why...these pricks want to action the items(or in the case of Trents make easy plat) vs helping the community level.

Either way, the lifeless ones will defend their actions because EQ is their spouse, their family, and sense of accomplishment in life.

As Pootle said, those people have a right to camp those things and may be doing it for various legitimate reasons. Sure, if someone is camping the throne room in CB or the Orc camp in EC at level 50 because they are going to use them to powerlevel one of their own alts, that's very annoying.

But if someone is farming things for faction?
If someone is killing mobs to spawn a quest mob or otherwise killing mobs for a quest drop for a piece of equipment that they need?
If someone is farming tradeskill materials?
If someone is farming platinum because they need it because they're undergeared and need to by something or they need money to invest in their tradeskills?

All of those things are valid IMO. It's also kind of funny that you cite Treants in SK. If you're killing the Treants, even if they give you XP, the main reason you're there is because it's a cash camp. In many cases, you could get better XP elsewhere, but you're there because it's a lucrative camp and so you're making a tradeoff for some potentially slower XP in return for farming a lot of plat. But how dare someone else farm those Treants so you can't!!! SMDH lol

Look, I also find it annoying when someone is cash camping, but that's the way the game is.

If you get to a camp and someone else is there before you, then its their camp, move along... you'll get more exp if you find another camp, than you will coming to the forums to cry about it.

You still haven't posted what class/level you are, and what camp it was that got your knickers in such a twist....
