bad behavior of players

I love this sort of competition, you just need to know how to claim, I remember when Serket was hevily camped in FFXI the days I spent there with LS mates when I would loose claim, just waiting for them to wipe, which rarely happened, but when we would get claim it felt awesome and I always seemed to do the fight better when there was competition while people were watching.

I like contested claims as well. There was no greater joy during my time in FFXI then when I claimed Morbolger after a week of camping. Yes, it can be frustrating when others claim instead of you, but once you do get the claim and the drop, it's that much more rewarding.

we used to have a good players in ffxi with no such bad ppl.

Dunno which server you're on, but we used to have a really horrible bunch on Pandemonium...
Both JPs and NAs are culprits. Jackasses are cross-cultural.

NPCs will always be nice to you, but in an MMORPG you play with real humans, so it's like living in the real world; there are nice people and not so nice ones.
DEAL WITH IT.
That's how this world is, and therefore how MMOs also are.
It won't help at all to post names on the forums.
People will still team up with them, either because they don't think they did something wrong or because they can get drops, exp or whatever by teaming up with them.

I'm not one of those people, I'm not even one of those who like competition in claiming mobs.
I get seriously pissed off when a party is not leaving the moment they see my party is already there, but I keep that anger to myself, and that's it.
You need to become thick-skinned to stuff like that.

Darn I still remember the good old day's we would camp out to tame a Unicorn or Nightmare in Ultima online! there would be an amazing fight over it and when I say fight I mean an all in war to the end you die you lose pretty much everything you have! Yes many people would cry or lose their temper! Including myself to be honest but that was fun, the risk factor made the game amazing. I can't imagine how many people would leave this game if there was a total free loot PVP system! where if you are killed you basicly lose all your items in your inventory. I know I went a little off topic but just want to say you miss an NM today just come back tomorrow it's no big deal!

the people afraid of competition are starting to take this to a new level. maybe mmo's in general are not the type of game that should be played. i agree that it's not nice and most people will leave the area alone if some are there, but there's alot that won't. i've enjoyed forcing quite a few out of a zone. if a group comes and tries to camp on top of us we will not only run them out of the area, but follow them until they completely zone out.

competition is fun. playing with and competing against is the biggest draw that a mmo has for me honestly. i hate to say it, but once the population goes up you will be competing alot more than you are now.

Hmm I played on Pandemonium when i was doing the XI thing and it was pretty much understood by everyone that you grab for the NM when it pops, dibs to the winner. Least that's how I remember it. I remember camping things and fighting for claim all the time and that was the norm.

I was pleasantly surprised when I realized people (most of the time) try and work together or take turns in XIV. I've had people do things like this to me and while I was annoyed at the moment I always try and think back to XI and claiming against others. One one hand it is polite to wait your turn or work together, but on the other hand there is only one of that mob and plenty of players that want to get at it. It seems natural that there would be competition for the mob sometimes. Those same people that are taking your mob worked hard to get a party or get to that spot and want to claim it as badly as you.

Yay fellow pandas!

But yea, Open world content is a competition. Some people will be reasonable, most will just be jerks. When communication fails you have to know how to out jerk the jerks.

I am reminded of the sky farming and the old aliance a good number of shells had agreed to. you got a night and time frame blocked out for your group and you went and did your thing. the others in said group had there own time blocks so it resulted in pretty easy going for gaining pop items. Then there were the people who did not go along with it.

when one of those groups showed up you just had to deal with it and out do them. Simple as that.
