Stealing aggro'd mobs in a "kite" - do you think this is against ToS?

[Genome]

I think there's about 100 places to farm mites. If there is a party trying to xp and you keep stealing targets they have obviously pulled for xp then you are in the wrong. I see you have level 50 battle class jobs. Just move and let people xp.

There are multiple camps in Nophica Wells. No reason not to share.

This.

I never try and take mobs away if i farm, it is harder to get a group together than it is for me to move to a diff camp. Mites especially are everywhere.

im guessing the ToS of FFXIV is very similar if not almost identical to FFXI's so with that in mind kiting mobs is in itself against the ToS anyone with FFXI experience will know this good example you show up to kill an NM and theres some guy kiting it around for 30 mins or more waiting for his LS mates to show up to kill it same can be applied to any mob
as for the rest of the things brought up even though a party and a soloer have equal claim to the same area sadly usually when a party shows up they force the soloer out
as said before an unclaimed mob is an unclaimed mob the ethical thing to do if you or the party is unable to move to an new area is to try and reach an agreemenet an example from my experience on FFXI alot of times i would go to an area to farm/xp and i would recieve a /tell from some BST's all bend outta shape that i was killing there mobs (future pets) and after a lil talking we would work out a system to share the area.
but when all is said and done it really all comes down to courtesy and respect there are plenty of spawn points and the respawn rate is very high

My question is: How many of these threads are we going to have to read after merge? If you can't hold your camp and someone refuses to kindly give it to you, call your LS to help you hold it. We're going to get to a point here in game where everything will be camped almost all the time, particularly things like Karakul fleece and Diremite web, Ahriman wings, bomb ash... etc etc.

This is a complaint as old as FFXI (probably older outside the FF context). You will see MANY of these threads over the coming years. And there will never be a solution because there isn't one outside of being the most persistent person(party) at the camp in question or walking away.

It's like Kenny Rogers says... "Know when to hold'em know when to fold'em"

There's a lot of mitelings in the camp with a decent respawn rate, so at least 2-3 parties currently could farm here. But with kiting/PLing as it is now, if parties get used to killing 8-10 at a time they're going to get really mad when they're "only" getting 2-4 at a time.

Ask yourself this Double, What are they going to do? Send you angry /tells? lol. They can't force you out of a camp any more than you can force them out of a camp.

Well I've been kinda practicing for holding/taking camps so bring it on! >.<

Most of the time it's just a game of patience. If you really want those mats, keep sniping them until the other person goes away.
