Unrest Frustrations

[Chris1479]

First and hopefully last rant I'll ever write on the forums.

>Be me, 13 Cleric, go to Unrest, twinked AF.
>Have a great time (initially), wrecking ghouls with my undead nukes.
>Ding level 17, head to MR.

The proceding 2 days are a blur of trains and rezzing.

Train

>No problem, I'll log my 60 paladin and rez everybody and derail the trains
>End up doing this for multiple hours over the course of 2 days, picking up the pieces of FP.
>Group (or the main 2 culprits) that is training the whole zone over and over again is still holding FP. Except now, I can't group there because I've called them out for training everyone.
>Manage to scrounge solo xp killing ghouls in a corner up to 22, give up and head out.

So that was my experience of Unrest. In the 2 decades on and off that I've played EQ that is the single worst time I've ever had there. Despite opening a petition (something I can count on one hand the number of times I've had to do) nothing was done about those guys. This was Green and their guild was Pals btw, a guild which I have never heard anybody say 1 positive thing about btw.

I've never seen so few fucks given about training other people. Multiple groups wiped again and again as those morons kept dragging trains around (what kind of a puller uses intimidate btw?) This is probably the lowest skill floor and the most antisocial behaviour amongst players in EQ I've ever seen.

/Rant over. It's only a game. But what a fucking frustrating experience.

I complained to their guild but Pals is so hopeless there wasn't a single officer online who could respond in the whole time this was going on. I've only just learnt how to use Shadowplay so i'll keep that for if this happens again in the future. Will DM if that helps.

The worst part was the fact that there were so many legitimate (real) newbies whose first experience of EQ or of playing EQ again after many years was ruined by these guys. I felt bad for them that's why I spent so much time rezzing, they were totally confused by what was going on as I tried to explain this wasn't normal.

Unrest is janky and bad for trains but it takes a really special kind of FP group to make the zone semi unusable for the better part of 2 days.

OP seems to be making two separate claims: They were getting trained due to incompetance *and* due to malice?

GM's can't intervene every time somebody just sucks at the game, and unrest is a notoriously hairy zone as far as pathing especially inside the house.

If they're primarily incompetent but so immune to feedback and obnoxious in OOC, and they keep doing it for dozens of hours, does it not blur the line between malice and incompetence if the end effect is the same?
