HUnting in the `wrong` places

[blondeattk]

I recently came across several instances of high lvl players being snobby about the abilities of lower lvl players.

I started playing on this server ~ 3 weeks ago, but have had fair amount of free time recently, and with out playing ever day or being power lvled am now lvl 40.

tbh I chose the class that would vlv fastest: hfl druid. I admit this was perverse of me as i dont like playing druids! However i knew exactly where to lvl this toon pretty fast to lvl 30.

am a fan of certain kunark zones, and was able to get my Howling stones key at lvl 37.

However i realise i cant zone in their alone, as i cant beat the mobs at zin. Ive had too arguement with 55+ players about the dangers of the zin area.

AM wondering did they nerf the zin area on live when they changed the key requirements? or when they changed chardok?

AM sure that the zin area has mobs that are 37-41 ? Yet some folk are telling me ingame that the area is full of 45-51 lvl mobs. imo they are lying.

chking zam shows there are mobs around lvl 40 to be hunted.

greater plaguebone 41 - 42 Undead Howling Stones (Charasis)
No Picture Included greater war boned skeleton 44 - 47 Undead Howling Stones (Charasis)

SO basically this comes down to eliteism or people trying to keep others out of `their` playground.

I realise this is a dangerous zone.....but as i first went to kunark in june 2000, am not unaware of this!!

Now i have grped with plenty of eq nuubs in last 2 weeks, but why are people lvl snobs?...sheer ignorance? yeah i dont have ubber gear, but i do have the zone knowledge.

However ......(continued)
