Farming Ettiquette

first come, first served

your 15bucks is not > then my 15bucks

learn to tag faster then me if you want what i am farming

You being rude aside it's virtually impossible for someone level 30 to get credit/full exp/drops from mobs when a 50 rolls through and starts farming over them, this is partially why the OP made said post I'm assuming, I've mostly seen it on legacy worlds though for obvious reasons, not because there's more fully capped people, but because most are rude.

A level 4 Bio lands just as quickly as a level 50 one. The 50 doesn't have an advantage in tagging a mob. They can hold a group of them longer and kill them faster, sure, but they have no advantage in claiming. You want full credit/exp/drops from a mob? Claim it.

then ask SE to change the game mechanic from "first come, first served" to "everyone that tags gets items" like other new MMOs use, along with lvl syncing everyone down to the lvl of the area

OR

ask SE to make drop rates for lvl 50 classes LOWER on mobs that are LOWER lvl then they are

if you dont want ppl to play the game the way the game IS, ask SE to change the game to how you WANT it to be

crying about random players is not going to make random players stop playing the game the way it IS

farming even more unenjoyable and frustrating then it already is

Maybe you should just give up farming all together. I enjoy it or I wouldn't do it.

Good luck getting anyone to follow these rules. Not saying I'm against them yet at the same time with low drop rates and limited farming areas for said drops odds are I'm not going to be willing to take a few hours to a couple days of farming when I could potentially do it in an hour, two tops. That's why I'm not even bothering with crafting since I'm leveling Conjurer first. I'll wait till I have done a class with more (any) AoE.

What I hate the most is when people are in farming groups next to quest monsters I need to kill, and when they finally spawn the grind group kills it in seconds flat leaving me without any quest mobs to kill.

[Jahaudant]

In reality one person will strip an area bare of a single mob type when farming. There isn't really a "your area" and "my area".

I tend to follow first come, first serve and generally try and find a completely different area if my ideal spot is already taken but sometimes there aren't other locations.

Also, if I'm on BRD, for example, I really hope people don't actually expect me to single target mobs down if they are within shooting distance of each other.

While we're on the subject of farming.. Is it possible to put non-usable objects (say iron ore, or raptor skins) on your hotbar? If you have an empty slot there it would be a good way of checking how many you have when you farm (the number next to the icon will increase) rather than periodically checking your inventory.

The mobs respawn pretty damn fast in this game anyway, theres plenty of places you can farm. If someone annoys you in 1 place, find a new place.

[frostmagemari]

There's only two rules I follow when it comes to farming anything...
1. If it has what i need and i can kill it, i tag it.
2. I don't snipe (taking a mob just as another is getting to it)

There's not going to be any discussion, or areas to be decided on. Those wolves have the skins i want, and i'll not be sitting on my hands just because someone else thinks they're more entitled to the mobs than i am; In an MMO, you're entitled to what you can tag and kill.
