Do you insult eq players?

Yeah, sure, yeah.

How often?

I don't know, maybe 3, 4 players a week.

Those are rookie numbers. You need to pump those up.

Done!

All these camps, you got to keep the energy flowing [starts beating chest and humming]

For future reference, should you target them and type /guildstatus and their guild/rank will be divulged. Even if /anon.

If someone cuts in front of me in line at the grocery store, they've violated the clear (if unspoken) rule about how lines work in public. That is rude.

If someone bids before me in a DKP auction for an item, they haven't violated any rules of how my guild runs DKP auctions. It's absolutely NOT rude to for them to do so, because it's part of how the "game" of bidding on an item is played.

Here in P99 we have very clearly defined rules, and although they can be unclear at times, they are not super-complex or hard to follow. And those rules say there is no "line" in front of any mob. If you want Hadden, and I want Hadden, and Fred wants Hadden, it doesn't matter if you or me or Fred gets there first: we all have an equal shot at killing Hadden.

You can make up rules in your own head about how, since you got to Hadden one minute before Fred, Fred is a jerk for trying to get Hadden ... but those are your own made-up head rules.

You just completely changed the fucking scenario to suit your argument.

Now do if someone cuts in front of you in a video game, and explain why you think that is OK behavior in a SOCIAL video game, but it's not IRL.

You may not think the video game matters, but I don't think your position in the dunkin donuts line matters either.

Why is only one of us wrong?

Play with integrity knowing that at eventually in the end you will get to decide who doesn't pass.

I've seen this 1000s of times in EQ:

Demand equality until you've reached BIS then demand get good.

Back on live in 1999 the Jboot camp literally had a line of players that went out the door and down the hall. It was awesome.

Big difference between lines irl and lines in everquest is that you can get your ass kicked for cutting in line irl.

I got those jboots from that line on rallos zek.

The PNP pretty clearly says you can't log off or leave the zone. Also if you go through the Wiki (it's much more fleshed out than the link loramin posted), it's pretty obvious that camp checks aren't actually binding. You aren't required to respond to them (imagine if you had a player on ignore, at this point he could just type cc and take your camp at will). But also players are allowed to go AFK etc.

Trust me there's been plenty of times where I do a CC, get excited that a camp is open, and then get there to discover that it's actually camped (people legit go afk for like 25 minutes while camping stuff in lower guk).

But yeah. If the guy was just afk and not logged off or in another zone, would be a different story.

My advice to the OP is either always record your gameplay or start to stream on twitch or youtube that way you always have a VOD of what actually transpired in game. Really shuts people down when they come at you with some whackness.

I think in this case its the principle more than anything.

The only dumb rule in this whole thing is the "los" shit.

Take C/E in Seb. Years ago this was known / understood that it was a single camp, and often pinned down by groups of 4-6 players.

Now idiots are claiming each one of the 4 rooms is a camp and emperor is a camp.

This would have been tossed as nonsense years ago.
