Goodbye Any Sense of CommunityFollow

Sorry to hear that happend to ya, but if we ever want to get a sence of community then we will have to ignor the idiots. I would wait until the game evolves somemore before deciding to leave. Just think in a few months all the selfish and inmature ppl will have left to ruin another game.

CANT WAIT FOR THAT DAY!

Beautiful Post Kildarner, you get a rate up :). I completely agree with what he said, there are the ups and downs of online games. There is going to be selfish pricks who think only of themselves, and dont give a crap about anyone else. Theres also going to be those who will help you out, and be there when you need them, and ultimately become good friends. I can say that I made many enemies playing EQ1, but I also made some great friends. Ultimately, just put up with the a-holes, and dont quit because of them, because that would mean that they win. One day, maybe in a perfect world, everyone will be nice and help each other out. Nah, prolly not. Anyways, just remember that your the bigger man for having /ooc'd that Olog was up to get more people their kill, and they prolly have small penises.

You expect people to know what your thinking? Next time say something, don't just expect people to bow before the person who seen the mob pop.

Quit whining.

Aye great explanation Kil , rate up from me too .
Rate down for the troll who said to quit whining .

Yes i came across this same situation last night , but not even on a rare mob! I was finishing up a bunch of left over lowbie quests (specifically the one Velpo gives you in Temple Street) where you have to kill orc exiles in the ruins. So I run up and there are none there , which immediately tells me someone just wiped em . So i stand there and then when one pops i get this little prick telling me " hey man those were mine , i been camping em for my quest for 20 mins now !"

I politely tell him that i need them for a quest as well and we will just have to share the spawns . I get told " Im a Dark Elf I dont share crap !" . So at this point i realize he must be playing on mommies computer and is just a little kid . So we go back and forth for a little bit , I have to admit it was fun making him mad .

But i left him to his devices after about 3 or 4 minutes and told him to try and be nicer to others . But this is the first time EVER in this game that this has happened to me . I have to say that for the most part almost everyone i have run into has been , at minimum, civil , if not downright polite .

So i dont think its the state of the game to come , I think you just ran into a couple jerks . Dont let it phase ya , the fact that you even did an ooc to see if anyone else needed him speaks leagues about how you play EQ and makes me wish you were on my server so we could get a group goin ! :)

Keep fighting the good fight imreadytogo !

I feel you're pain... an almost identical thing happened to my brother and me. With Olof no less. We were camping him for days, so we appreciated how rare he was. Finally bro found him and was waiting for me to get there. As I'm running up he notices a priest running behind me.

So my bro sent him a /tell "killing olof, you need?" simultaneously with an /invite.

He ignored both, so we figured he wasn't interested. So bro was in process of /ooc just like you, when the priest dashes up and nukes Olof!!

Not only that, but he was in a well-respected guild, so we sent a /tell to the leader to inform him of what happened (we weren't rude, but as we're in a guild ourselves we know the one bad apple rule). So we got a flame back calling us bishes and noobs and losers etc etc (from the leader, mind you).

All that drama aside.. it only stands out in my memory because it's the opposite of what normally happens. Most people are at least reasonable, and many of them are downright kind.

You're not alone, m8, hang in there.


..................
ps ..points for kildarner ^.^

1, he\she never said anything in the OP like "Hey I need him too" in OOC.

2, Basing the other persons personality on a assumption is not smart. Sending them a tell and having them be an *** to you is different. I don't support stealing, matter of fact I am nice ingame. But accidents happen, get used to it. Feel lucky you seen him pop, maybe the person was there for a couple hours killing place holders? So maybe it was his to start with and you were going to steal it?

3, I may be a troll, but I used to post a lot here and came back to see how many posts there are about how the game sucks, or how much more whining is going on, or how two people that appear mean ingame can ruin a persons perspective on life it seams.

4, rate downs mean nothing. I look at it as what I am ;) Right now I am number one sucka :p

With all my smart-assness aside, don't let things get to you ingame. Try again I am sure you'll get him.

Let me rephrase this for you. "I got to the mobs I needed, but there were none up so they were obviously being camped. But I'm too cool to come back later, so I told the guy that he had to share with me".

This, at least in the old EQ1 days, would make you a total prick and give you a bad reputation if you did it regularly.

Right off, you admit that someone was quite obviously camping them.

So, he's keeping all the spawns clear and yet you decide you are more important than him, and he should just have to slow down his quest completion to accomodate you.

And he's the prick?

Now, I don't get mad about this sort of thing anymore, I just accept that people are like this, that they think of other people as toons and not as real people. But don't try and equate the two situations please.

forgot what I was gonna say lol

Well i did look around for someone . Noone was there , and i would have gladly grouped up with him except he wouldnt have gotten quest credit because i was to high a level .

I may have come off like a jerk in this post but I was a little irritated when I posted this so that probably came out in it .
I was polite to him at first but he immediately came off rude so i countered with additional rudeness. that was probably the mistake , i should have moved on instead of lowering myself to that level .
However, I still stand by the fact that people just need to learn to share, if I have a quest that i want to do , and someone is camping the same mobs , why should i have to wait to do my quest? Sharing is more than a reasonable expectation.
And like i said , i would have gladly grouped with him had he been high enough level .
either way my OP wasnt intended to hijack the thread, just to share a story that is similarly negative .
