bad behavior of players

Because the best places to grind don't have sentrys near them.

And where is this, exactly?

Shit happens.

There are a variety of elements here that need to be addressed (briefly.)

1. Disparity - Normally the method of competing for claims is the most reasonable approach. Not the nicest nor the most efficient, but it should be the most reasonable. However, due to the build of the game, coupled with hardware restrictions, parity cannot be achieved. Therefore, such an approach is not possible. The playing field is not level as all resources are not evenly distributed (again, hardware, server hops, etc..) Because of this lack of parity there is no solution that can be reached since the variable now shifts to personal ethics.

2. Behavior - The unfortunate truth about the world of forums and MMO is that, for many people, this is their only form of competition - meaning that they take this far beyond the threshold of reason. Some people like games because they allow them to take on the identity of what they wish they could be and what they admire - which is how we get a ton of utilitarian extremists running around behaving like this. Sadly, there will never be any form of retribution that can curve this behavior. The best thing you can look to do is to publicly chop down their ego until they can no longer compete for resources while also causing grievance for anyone that they associate with. But, if you were to do this, it would make you no better.

It sucks-buttocks but the best solution for you is probably to plan around them since neither of these issues are really confrontable.

Hah, no way Syntax! I was there with a mid-to-late 40 group and we repeatedly cleared the whole camp! :P

I second this, there is really only room for one group if you're doing it right. You can pull every mob in the room with a single pull.

High minded ideals and sharing only work when both parties are riding the high horse. If one is content to chop your horse off at the knees while you talk down to them explaining the virtues and correctness of your position, you lose.

This isn't RL. As someone said above this is some peoples only form of competition and it is taken to extremes (for better or worse). A failure to lower yourselves when the situation requires will only lead you to not get what you want while they get what they want. I'm not saying you should approach all situations from the vantage of someone with no qualms. I am, however, saying that you have only yourself to blame if you get frozen out of something because you were still sending someone tells containing your indignation and moral outrage with demands to negotiate a compromise while the other party ignores you and profits. Angry tells, pointless /frustrated emotes, endless deliberation with your fellow party members, and teleporting out to play elsewhere when faced with competition isn't going to solve anything. Well... it will for your competition.
