Stealing aggro'd mobs in a "kite" - do you think this is against ToS?

>_> lol.
I don't see what the problem is here.
If you were there first and farming webs and they showed up to exp...so what?

Unclaimed mobs are fair game to anyone. They should have made sure to obtain claim on all their mobs if they wanted the exp/items for all of them.

Likewise, you could have claimed them all for yourself for the drops.

if you were there first like others stated then i don't blame you at all. personally this happens a lot, people come and try to take over and man handle other peoples camps. i would of not only took 1 but switched to my 50thm and killed everything in site. and if not leave ..i would of probably put them on my sh!t list and forever see them exp'ing take there camps. sounds stupid but take ffxi if you took over a camp like the birds ...you just waisted my 30-3hours making the party cause you too lazy to go somewhere else and you just forced half of my party to want to just log out cause they rather leave then fight for camp so within 30-60mins of very bad exp the party disbands><

only place i'm truely seeing this happen in ffxiv is at the sheep camps. but all the asses that stay are rmt, they don't care if you were there first and they will fight you for hours and hours just to wear you down. i wouldn't leave out of prinsiple but it just ended up being a 5hr fight for camp. then next day he comes back again and does it again but i just didn't want to deal with it and left>< ...funny part is there are 3 rank 50lancer bots on the other sheep camp farming not even pl'ing 24/7 and when he see's you he pops out of afk. ...anoying.

Can anyone answer me as to why a player with all 50's would need to farm Karakul Fleece?

Some of us dont quit when we hit 50.. we make more stuff and multi meld it. You need LOTS of fleece for high end wvr stuff.

Something much older than Yoshi-P, ToS or SE itself: "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few."

Are you trying to say more people are against PL than for? I have seen a handful of loudmouths on the forums QQ about PLing but its just that a handful, you see just as many if not more ok with it. Also people don't normally come to forums to praise something they come to complain with that in mind the handful of rabid anti PL QQers leaves me to believe that more are ok with it than against it.

Kill the mobs and laugh in their faces

If you were the one who was (power)levelling and some lv50 came to "steal" some of your mobs, would you have been happy?

Rule of thumb for me is, if the camp was "claimed" when you got there, don't bother them and find yourself another camp. If they "invaded" your camp then feel free to steal mobs from their train.

I was referring to the 2-3 people PLing themselves in turn, whereas a full group came out to do some legitimate footwork. The reason it's only a 'handful' is the fact that there are just that many who can see the negative effects of powerleveling.

To me, it's those kind of people that look at it and say "Wow, I'm getting lots of levels really fast, and hey everyone else is too! This is awesome! How could this ever be bad?!" that are superficial in their perspective on this subject, and therefore defend it to the end.

I've stated some very pertinent points as to why Powerleveling is not a good idea, and if you care that I repeat them, I will.

Allow me to employ an adage: "Too much of a good thing is a bad thing." Sound familiar?
