Re: /anon farmers :)

And one more thing, I've played this game long enough, people asking me for help never bothered me, ctrl+r "sorry i'm busy" doesnt take me 3 seconds to type. And that whole thing about people that keep nagging you after you say no, it has never happened to me as a RDM or any other job, maybe its just me, maybe some of you are finding excuses, I don't know.
I'm not even a mage and I've had situations where people would ask, plead and beg me to join their pts or help them out. Now I won't say it happens all the time, but it sure as hell does happen. And while I've been lucky so far and haven't had people get 'mad' at me for saying no...though I'd prolly actually prefer if they do...when someone is looking that hard for that specific job and I have to tell them no, well I'd prefer to avoid being asked the question in the first place really.

I'm one of those 'always anon' people and I'll farm that way without a second thought. If you come out to farm the same things, oh well no biggie. If it's that big of a problem I'll move. It's not that big of a deal, there's more then one place to farm.

There's never any reason to use cut-throat tactics on mobs that repop in multiple numbers every 5 minutes.

This is the method I use and I can't begin to say how true it is. If you're going to farm a zone you know other people farm in, if there's a lot of solo, anon people, assume they're farming and find a different zone.

I use my chat filter a LOT. Especially when in Whitegate.
i don't think you can turn off /tells
