| Re: It's not your mob. Despite lack of PvP, a lot of this game is still based on competition - in this case, for monsters. As someone else mentioned, if someone is exping, I'll take my farming/skilling-up elsewhere, but a fellow farmer is just a bit of competition as far as I'm concerned. My rights don't trump theirs; and nor do theirs mine.
However, if someone is having trouble dealing with this situation - assuming that presence = claim while farming - then that's pretty sad. Moreover, if this person's only response to said competition is insults and threats, then I'm likely to react as Feba did - "oh, you think voke is playing dirty? why, I consider that a challenge!"
However, I think train farming is different, especially if you assume you own monsters in the train. The idea of farming is to kill things quickly for their drops - emphasis on the quickly. Train farming doesn't kill monster X quickly; rather, it disrupts re-spawn times, and messes up the situation for other players (given that quick, single kills should lead to a steady flow of monsters through re-pops).
As for the acusation such behaviour ruins the game - I bet the BLU is the same kind of player who blames high prices on gil-sellers and greedy crafters, thinks SE is out to make players unhappy, and generally can't deal with what is dealt to her. |
