Thanks for posting your strategy. It will help resolve any disputes you may get involved in.

I won't make it to a high enough level to actually actualize my strategy anyway. I'll probably quit around level 34 when the game starts to turn into a really boring grind.

It's posts like this that seriously make me want to consider switching from course to game dev...

...almost. Pure win though.

But then the level 50s that pass through to check the spawn don't see me and claim innocence when they engage my mob.

I turn off invis, and the mob doesn't have any loot so the person says Oops sorry didn't see you there and runs off, since they were just passing through the zone anyway and don't actually want to camp this.

I actually done that before with the named ogre that drops the dark rust boots and bracer in TD. Poor DE was hidden and I didn't see her, I waited a couple mins to see if anyone killed it but I guess she was medding after killing Boomba. When I realised my mistake I just let her have the corpse.

But yeah, if I'm running through a zone where a named is I usually just check the camp/area and kill it if it appears unoccupied.

Class c and class r AC imo

Forensic, you win the award for douchiest troll of the month. Which is not easy to do here. Well done, you're a winner.

This did actually happen, no Meltan did not get a ring.

Yes, it's easy to check encounter logs. Who was camping the mobs prior makes no difference in an "FFA" camp like SRO AC.

So then... the Bard got the ring, and all of this was just rabble rousing/fearmongering about people stealing camps, with some awkward trolling at the end. Seems about right.

Since the topic of FTE has been brought-up: is mezzing a mob considered an engagement? Supposing the mez sticks, the mob is aggroed even if it wont move.

I'm thinking of a situation where I'm playing my enchanter, I see a mob i'd like to farm and there's nothing around I can charm (my target is too high for the level of mobs around, for example) and I need to summon a pet. Memming the spell and casting it takes a good 30 seconds. If someone came during those 30 seconds and broke mez to engage the mob, who had the FTE?

Would rooting the mob present a different scenario?

Mez won't put you on the encounter log, so we'd have nothing to show that you were first to engage.

Edit: OP, I'm not trying to attack you, I just thought you painted a disingenuous and unfair picture of what happened. While I sympathize with your experience (try getting an AC in SRo on Red pre-patch without getting ganked when the AC is at 10% hp), the bottom line is this is simpler to enforce, is in-line with classic CSR rulings, and will probably not be changed. If you want to camp a non-static spawn like this, bring some friends to ensure you can zap it the moment it spawns.
