WARNING - To Grinders

Swindy

I've been criticized for assisting some random solo with his mob, more than once...it's the natural good bloke mindset I possess...see a dude in a fight, stop to help.
The same mindset that sees me rather useless in Pvp sadly...it's uncomfortable for me to attempt to kill another player.
I learned to leave them alone...
So then I stand back at distance and watch solo guys in Craglorn play with their mobs, saw a few terminated, & respawn to run over and attempt to blade me (Urm, you're Pact also & it's Pve area mate...) whilst I assume yelling abuse, but as I don't use headphones I cannot be sure.

Yesterday I'm grinding and a pair show up, take the mats from the mob I've just killed, try to firebomb me (again, Craglorn...wtf guys?), and jump about like lunatics clearly upset that they had come upon me as they were on their way up a hill...I'd been on that hill 3 hours lol.

It seems that there is no pleasing all the people all the time...

I don't care how many XP pots you have bought from the crown store.
YOUR game time is not more important than MY game time.
So don't go stamping your feet demanding me to leave an area because your XP isn't maxed out.
These are your options:

1. Go to a Personal area you can reserve for your own [snip] use - ie A GROUP DUNGEON "INSTANCE".
2. If you want to farm a PUBLIC AREA in SHARED SPACE in a MULTIPLAYER GAME......learn to share or go find another abandoned area.

There is no ONE TRUE RING of grinding for your personal use MY PRECIOUS

ZOS' fault that people get mad about excess grinders. After two players hitting a mob its a 50% reduction to XP that adds on for everyone hitting it. Stupid system

I would block every last one of them.

A guildie was doing one of those quests where u have to keep an enemy alive to control them. But she was having a hard time cuz these two players grinding the mobs would kill everything. She asked them to leave her one for the quest and they told her to leave. So she went to TS and told us and the 10 of us went to the spot, took a zone and proceeded to nuke the mobs every time they would spawn. The grinders ended up leaving eventually. Fun times

I always get those players on my EP characters but when I go DC I get people that would rather group up and share grind spots.

Apparently DC has less players.
But on the other hand, EP is more violent, even crabs will come up to bite you.

Why get angry? If someone asks me to leave, instead of moving on to the next part of my quest, I will switch to AoE setup and nuke everything in the area for an hour, or until they leave. Then I'll follow them and nuke everything when they begin grinding again. Suffice it to say I'm quite a sour and vengeful person.

this has been my strategy for the last few years of playing MMO.
