• Give a little respect to Beastmasters/(And other soloists):

Yes, most people won’t invite them even if they are seeking, but don’t make their lives worse by camping on top of them. Not only do you not invite them, but you camp on them. No. Smart Beastmasters will solo not anonymous and will have where they are and what they are fighting in their search comment. Even if they don’t, and you arrive at camp and see a Beastmaster there, DON’T tell your party (and I’ve seen this so many times before) “Oh, It’s just a beastmaster, let’s camp here.” You don’t want other partys camping on top of you, don’t camp on a beastmaster (or other partys). Partys do not have rights over a soloer.

The more polite a party is to me, the more polite and helpful I am to the party, should the need arise. I remember a time when I was soloing (bst) in CN, /sea comment up, location and pet/prey. I'd been there for about an hour and a party came and and camped on me. I was throwing beetles at beetles/scorps and doing really well. ...next thing I know, I was out of pets. I ended up 2hr'ing my prey. >.< I knew that I was going to be on all day, so after I healed, I dumped the scorp, and concentrated all my efforts...beetle on beetle. When I ran out of prey, I charmed the last beetle in the room and ran out near the party and /healed. When the RNG "looked at me in disgust", I let the party know in /say that they could "continue to look at this in disgust( me healing w/ a pet and their potential prey), as they had camped on me, and that I had /sea comments up. I continued to bounce between the beetle room and the hallway behind the pt. They left in about an hour. I'd like to think that it was because I kept breaking their chains.

Shortly after they left, another party rolled in and asked how long I was going to be. I left the room to them after less than 1k exp and my level. I stopped to pick up their pt after an unfortunate AoE/link and subsequent party wipe, after I put a pet on their mob and their 2 links while joining in the fray.

While exp was slower for both of us for a short time, we both benefited by being courteous.
