Troll Trolling

That's the point of competitive farming. Have you ever played FFXI? You probably would not be making this post, as that was 50% of that game (and much more heated considering some of the things people would farm would pop maybe once every 36 hours).

There's no body language in a video game. You already obviously made the inaccurate assumption that these people are maliciously trying to troll you which is more than likely false. All that I see is someone is upset because they were outclaimed, they took it personally when the person doing it had little to no intention of making it a personal matter, and then they came to the message board in some passive aggressive attempt to one-up the "perpetrator" by claiming they out-trolled them.

In the future, don't take being outclaimed so personally.

This is more about the "how" rather than the "why"...

Competitive farming is ok. The issue is how you go about doing so.

Any logically coherent human being understands that if a player brings a monster from another person, the player by default acknowledges the presence of that person they took the monster from. It goes hand in hand.It's like building up threat on a monster a tank is holding and then suddenly, the monster attacks you and you say "well, I don't think the tank was attacking it"... No. Clearly if you are building up threat you are building it up against another threat that is competing with you. So you can't defend yourself with ignorance in this case since your actions directly contradict your "ignorance" argument.


TL;DR: The person was being an ass. It is evident. You don't need a psychology degree to prove that nor do you need body language.

It's simply defined through the plot.

I don't even understand the need to share by cutting the spot in half. I mean, this game allows several people to get credit from the same mobs. It just requires some communication, or even (dare I?) a team invite?

I've had two (lvl 50) friends of mine starting to farm low level loots fro craft. After getting on the spot and starting farming, they realised they were probably robbing all the kills from the lowbie there. So they coordonated with him, suggesting he tagged mobs, then my friends just blasted all the mobs. Everyone gets what they wanted.

This is precisely what competitive yet non-selfish farming is. Kudos to your friends. That's how to do it.
