Don't Be Greedy!

[Rylee]

Do you really need it all? I can't be the only one who gets kinda annoyed when I see people pulling multiple camps together or making the rounds when there's other people trying to farm as well.

Is it really that hard to back off of one spot if you see someone there?

I know that some of this, if not a lot, is probably bots farming but... If you're an actual player and you're guilty of the above, could you please show just a little common courtesy? Keep to one or two spots and give others the chance to farm drops ^^ Most of the mobs that are being farmed have a fairly decent respawn rate so it really would not kill someone to sit for a moment at one spot.

respawn rate in here sux, that's why most ppl like to make a path of full time killing. and i wouldn't let anyone get it easy, if a mob is red for me, i wont let it go. if u want some, then tag first.

The only thing that annoys me is when someone is farming a mob I need for a quest or hunting log. Otherwise the game is unfortunately designed to make farming easy by clustering all of one mob in a tiny area and making respawns fast and predictable.

If you consider this mobbing. You need to go and try some really old school MMOs where we could pick up the entire map, aoe it all at once, crash the server.

Let me see if I'm understanding this correctly:

People who are farming a lot of mobs, are greedy.

People who show up and demand that they not farm so many so that THEY can now have the mobs instead, are not?

The farmer is being greedy by not giving up 4 or so mobs. It's rather difficult for melee to tag a mob before ranged that have instant attacks and can typically find a spot to tag all mobs with a quick tab/attack rotation. The melee pretty much has to learn where a mob is going to spawn for a chance of getting one by standing on that very spot and spamming the class's fastest animated attack. Seeing how you have a level 50 archer, you should know this.

No, you're not understanding correctly.

Let's take sheep, for example. There are about a dozen sets of 3 sheep each around Coerthas. Let's say there is a person who is farming one group. There's another group nearby that no one is farming.

Is it greedy to farm the empty group? No, of course not.
Is it greedy to farm both the empty group and to try to out-tag the person who was there for the other group? Yes, it definitely is.

This is exactly what I meant, I guess I just could not think of the right way to word it.
I'm not sitting here going "How dare you try to make money/get the materials you need!" What I'm trying to say is "Does it really hurt you that much to let others do the same?"
I'd gladly welcome a party invite or lend a hand if someone wanted to share a spot. Hell most times I will have a silent agreement when it comes to camps like sheep, keeping to one side while letting them farm the other no matter what class they are.

(stupid character limit o3o)

I don't bother a spot if I see someone is already there, it'd be nice for others to do the same or if they're really that hard up for cash or materials to ask if I'd share. Because I will share! I've even handed out fleece to someone once, poor guy could not tag any mobs cause of people taking up spots and not wanting to share. He only needed 6 pieces of fleece xD So it's seeing stuff like that where no one wanted to give up their spot for a little bit or let him tag a few until he got what he needed that kinda rubs me the wrong way. I guess I just like to treat others how I'd like to be treated ^^

Farming in this game is a joke... There's what, 3 items in the game that even need farmed? There are so much better ways of making Gil and way more efficient.
