How is this NOT harrasment/griefing?

[Invalice_Vangaurd]

I have to disagree.

It's one person with incredibly bad manners and a silly intention of working on his 'achievement' - which is nothing more than a pretty number that says "oh, I've done stuff here x amount of times, I'm a badass!"
versus
The person who is doing behest with an honest intention - getting experience points to level up and make actual progress. This person will gain experience, knowledge, and maybe even abilities on his class.

Who has more to gain? The person who has need of the experience from those mobs.
In light of this fact, I'd say the achievement means little to nothing, even less so if the person is a douche.

Yeah because everyone plays the game exactly the same way and for exactly the same reasons, right? By this logic, I think everyone harvesting/mining/fishing solely for profit or achievements should get the hell out of all zones because there are legitimate players trying to level up DoL classes, and you are simply getting in their way and taking their nodes while you try to get your stupid meaningless achievements and monies...how dare you. Play the game my way or GTFO. /sigh

Most of the time high level players in behest act like PLs when I was on a lower level. They basically let me engage first and then nuke the mobs down for me. Only once have I met someone who wasn't being nice but I still grabbed most of the monsters for myself and killed them despite being 8 levels lower.

If Yucie DOES do that, i'll stab her/him for you.

Oh, he will too. That's a big reason why I don't do these things.

people who defend to the player r50 , please can you search and learn the word "solidarity" in your dictionary?
if we had more solidarity and less selfishness the community would be more nice, and also communication, please try use autotranslate or google translate (it is not good but some is some)

Sorry , my english is not very good, i hope people understand my message.

I don't think his level has relevance in the matter.
He can still side with lower level players against high level players. (Unless he is doing the same thing that lvl 50 was, and being a hypocrite, but you have no proof of that, so lets assume he isn't a hypocrite)

well cid you also have to remember that there are many of us that have every class to cap. the only thing left to do in game is getting achievements. the player did nothing against the rules. i'm not saying they went about it the right way or morally correct, but the question was "is this griefing" and that answer is no.

you've known me and many others that have all capped classes for a long time in game and know achievements is all that we have left until the cap raise. you also know me well enough to know i wouldn't do others that way nor do i condone others doing it, but i can't jump on anyone for doing something that's not against the rules. it's not that i'm defending the r50 taking the mobs, but i am defending the fact that according the rules they did nothing wrong.

He is most likely working on a achievement

Unfortunately the way people are, MMOs often take the route of protecting the player from themselves and others from everyone else, so instancing is the way to go. Behest is just poorly designed regardless and to have ridiculous achievements tied to them sounds like copypasta nonsense in that department.

Pretty sure there isn't a QA department over at SE, or at least not one with any sense of the world. If there was, this entire game would never have hit the shelves.
