MPK and griefing

[geekgirl101]

Hasn't SE learned anything from FFXI? Having aoe from mobs hit anyone even if they were not engaged in the fight is a bad thing. I'm witnessing people kiting mobs that do aoe to nearby crafters or lowbies who might be afk in an attempt to interrupt their crafting or kill them. I lost HQ mats when I changed to my leatherworker to make some leather I farmed when some inconsiderate player yanked a giant frog next to me and it used its aoe and broke my synth. The same player tried it again after I farmed another skin and began crafting. This is griefing and shouldn't be part of the game mechanics.

I know the obvious answer is to move to where there's no mobs so I don't get hit by aoe, but if after I've crafted I've lost a bunch of mats it's time consuming if I have to travel far to the nearest sanctuary and back to farm more materials. I shouldn't have to escape to a sanctuary to avoid some (insert random insulting name here) kiting his mob next to me to grief me.
