BST solo camps and the ignorant players that ruin them.

[nickofearth]

Although I agree that people need to start respecting soloers (and soloers need to respect pts) I have to point out you are ignorant about NPCs. I am a Dragoon and I love my npc. I got her capped and all jobs unlocked. I leveled her at the same time as I soloed on drg lower level. Just set her to attacker and eventually fierce attacker since I had to sub mage for soloing. In a pinch they can be the difference between life and death. They have a kick ass move when you and your npc are at low HP which literally saved my life 2-3 times. I, however do not use my npc for soloing all that much. I call her for fun when I'm bored. So to say npcs are for people who suck as soloing is completely stupid.


"Obviously, this was also abused to MPK other players or PTs that tried to take over a BST's camp."

I just wanna share a story about that for no real reason. I was soloing near that mountain in Western Altepa away from where normal xp pts fight and two taru bsts come right on top of me. I've been there for a while now btw. I am just soloting beetles, but these two douches charm beetles below me and leave them right on top of me, luckily I was able to survive (Orton Pose) with like 20 hp. If It wasn't for friends who leveled bst(to know not all bsts are douches), I'd have no respect for BST because of that(and would probably go out of my way to screw all bsts over.)

Summery: Ninjas. Thousands of them.

(responding to OP)

People indeed need to have a lot more respect for solo-ers. I always feel like leaving my party when the leader starts flipping off a BST or another solo-er in the area, regardless of my own job (even if I'm playing Dragoon, which doesn't really tend to get that many invites compared to the other job classes I play).

As a solo-er myself, SMN or DRG, I still try to be polite to others. Sure, I can exp in a party, but it's rather surprising how little I get invited - as well as how many parties I get into that just aren't worth it no matter how hard I try - so I tend to solo for exp on those jobs.

Thus, people tend to hate my Corsair (or they just hate me as a puller in general) because when there are solo-ers in the vincity of my party I try my best to play fair.

On the other hand, if they [soloers OR other parties] want to play dirty and whore the mobs, I can play that game, too. Do unto others.
