Farming Ettiquette

What I hate the most is when people are in farming groups next to quest monsters I need to kill, and when they finally spawn the grind group kills it in seconds flat leaving me without any quest mobs to kill.

In reality one person will strip an area bare of a single mob type when farming. There isn't really a "your area" and "my area".

I tend to follow first come, first serve and generally try and find a completely different area if my ideal spot is already taken but sometimes there aren't other locations.

Also, if I'm on BRD, for example, I really hope people don't actually expect me to single target mobs down if they are within shooting distance of each other.

While we're on the subject of farming.. Is it possible to put non-usable objects (say iron ore, or raptor skins) on your hotbar? If you have an empty slot there it would be a good way of checking how many you have when you farm (the number next to the icon will increase) rather than periodically checking your inventory.

BST was there first? BST camp. PT there first? PT camp.

If not for the sake of manners then for the sake of survival. BSTs used to MPK when they were pissed off. There weren't that many camp overlaps anyway. Only BST (and some SMN) exp'd on bombs or slimes.

Of course you did check the /seacoms in the area before heading out there, didn't you?

Aww man, checking /seacoms for parties in a zone, nostalgiagasm.

You being rude aside it's virtually impossible for someone level 30 to get credit/full exp/drops from mobs when a 50 rolls through and starts farming over them, this is partially why the OP made said post I'm assuming, I've mostly seen it on legacy worlds though for obvious reasons, not because there's more fully capped people, but because most are rude.

The mobs respawn pretty damn fast in this game anyway, theres plenty of places you can farm. If someone annoys you in 1 place, find a new place.

A level 4 Bio lands just as quickly as a level 50 one. The 50 doesn't have an advantage in tagging a mob. They can hold a group of them longer and kill them faster, sure, but they have no advantage in claiming. You want full credit/exp/drops from a mob? Claim it.

then ask SE to change the game mechanic from "first come, first served" to "everyone that tags gets items" like other new MMOs use, along with lvl syncing everyone down to the lvl of the area

OR

ask SE to make drop rates for lvl 50 classes LOWER on mobs that are LOWER lvl then they are

if you dont want ppl to play the game the way the game IS, ask SE to change the game to how you WANT it to be

crying about random players is not going to make random players stop playing the game the way it IS

There's only two rules I follow when it comes to farming anything...
1. If it has what i need and i can kill it, i tag it.
2. I don't snipe (taking a mob just as another is getting to it)

There's not going to be any discussion, or areas to be decided on. Those wolves have the skins i want, and i'll not be sitting on my hands just because someone else thinks they're more entitled to the mobs than i am; In an MMO, you're entitled to what you can tag and kill.
