How is this NOT harrasment/griefing?

[Kensaki]

I was joining Drybone Behest where I joined a party forming I saw a player on his 50 BLM that wasn't joining the party. When the behest started he mounted up proceeded to kill all the mobs except boss mobs that where level 24 since he was in the behest and thus was unkillable on classes we where trying to level, So I sent a GM ticket about griefing and soon got the reply that this wasn't something the GM's could do anything about.

So is it true can you just waltz around ruining people's event and such and GM's will not do anything about it?

This is not harrassment and griefing unfortunately

there are a few reasons

1) He has as much right to be there as you do at whatever low level you are
2) He may be working on an achievment


Now, i suggest when you run into these type of people, you try actuly talking to them, quite often, people will invite them, they wont accept, and then the player will threow a fit acting like they are being ignored without even trying to talk it out

You would be amazed at how much that alone can make a difference.

Alot of us who do lower behets would gladly make sure you got ALL the exp if you are nice about it, you just gotta use a bit more communication


and then you do have those douches who just dont care...and unfortunately since they arent breaking any rules you cant do anything about it but perhaps move to a different behest, you have 3 regions for a reason

He done nothing wrong, there are achievement for do a certain number of behest/camp, simply switch camp next time

[Kensaki]

So he killing all the mobs. But the boss mobs and just sitting around waiting for us to kill them ruining 3 people's experience and fun to get himself an achievement is all ok? Are you even listening to yourselves?

And move camp? So we're supposed to run all over the world and hope the theres not a 50 there ruining the event?

He's not doing anything wrong, but he definitely could be more polite about it.

When I run easy behests for achievements and I see someone lower level is trying to do it I let them know they can claim the mobs, then I kill them asap so they can at least get the EXP.

They always seem to enjoy it and it makes no difference for me as I have to wait another 25-27 minutes for the next one anyway.

That seems like the best way to do it. No way to communicate that to a player if he doesn't know english, though.

completely agree with thevids here. this is part of the issue with adding achievements for behests and leves after people have already hit max level on their chars.

most times i won't join parties because i kill the party sp, but if they talk to me i'll join the party and claim the mobs and then they can kick me just so they get the sp. i'm just trying to get the completion as fast as possible when doing behests and the sp is worthless if you are r50 already. when you see them again just talk to them and see if they have an issue with that or if they may be just being a jerk. the problem is even if they are doing it to be rude it's still nothing they are doing that's against the rules as they are working towards in game content.

ive seen this alot recently, but figured out that most people are willing to help you out. the'd let me attack the mobs, then they would kill em all. i'd bow and thank them for all the exp, lol

"Act only according to maxims that you yourself would deem universally accepted."

You are saying...

People ought to move in order to accommodate your desires...
therefore...
I ought to move to accommodate the desires of others...

Your maxim is self-defeating, therefore, ought not be done.

Now put on your big boy pants and quit the QQ.

I'll just counter that with the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. Thanks for playing though.
