Im Vet 11 on the west coast so only time i can go and there be nobody is around 4 a.m. No way am i doing 10 hours of quests for cads gold for 3 levels. Nothing makes me angrier then walking in and seeing a level 10, 17, 13 and a bunch of vet 2s taking the kills.

✭OP complain is silly. First come first serve.
What is annoying, are people who barge in to a cave where you are already in group of 2 people and they just pretend you are not there.
Upon making sure they are not there just for skyshard and boss kills, you ask them kindly to leave and explain why by being there and tagging all your kills (because waiting till you pull group of mobs and then just poking one aoe on them is tagging) are just wasting your and your friend time AND their own time. Of course after that they either ignore you and dont reply at all or laugh into your face.

✭There's several places that get = to crackwood cave in terms of XP gen.
They're just well kept secrets, guarded with lives and never discussed openly.
They are whispers in corridors, comments in toilet stalls. No one except a select 10,000 players know where they are....CP561 Redguard | Jabsy Templar | Stamina Build

Its one thing to going territorial on a spot no matter if someone is already there or not. Claiming a place 24hour/7 just like that. Its wrong. First come first serve is common and proper approach in MMORPGs.
But its completely different thing, claiming a place when you arrive there and there is absolutely noone there. There comes a basic MMO etiquette that anyone who comes in after person who was there first, should respect their presence there.Edited by Rinmaethodain on July 31, 2015 8:21AM0 -

Agree, etiquette is missing and people are just thinking of themselves.
This came to my mind immediately after read.

✭✭I don't agree to the etiquette thing, sorry. The number of places is so limited that to have one place exclusive in a first-come-first-serve manner is bollocks for all those that for whatever reason cannot start playing at 10am. If I get to a grindspot which is taken, I join in. I do not counter-circle or try to be ahead of the ones there but I share every kill and be damned if you try to out-tag me. I also do not complain if someone else bunks in on my grinding. As long as he is able to keep up with me, he can share. Someone (a V14 stam NB) tried yesterday to take over my grind spot outside Cyrodiil. Let's say after I kept up with my lowly V10 for 5 minutes and he did not get a single kill without me partaking and me even being faster than him sometimes, he went away.
Now if there would be enough spots to satisfy a majority of willing, I can see the benefit of and would definitely adhere to a "grinding etiquette". As is? You will not stop me from catching up to your CP.10 -

Are you familiar with the exp/people tagging monster mechanic? You get optimal experience with 2 people killing monster. When the third person tags in, every person who tagged monster will get reduced experience. That third person starts not only wasting their own time (by not finding another spot) but also wastes time of people who were first in that spot.
Eventually if enough people start running in same place, they will overkill spot and pauses between respawns will ruin experience for everyone even more.
Thats what MMO and grind spot etiquette is about. In terms of exp mechanics in ESO it would go like this:
-Its first come first serve.
-When second person comes in and you are alone you offer them to join your group for optimal experience.
-If a person denies and says that they are there for quest,exp, skyshard there is no reason to interact with them, tho its nice of them if they want to kill monsters for his possible quest related activity they will do it along you.
-If you are already in group of 2 people for optimal experience, and third person appears in cave, first you ask them if they are to grind here or just for quest/skyshard/bosses.
-If they claim to be for grind then you should explain them that for optimal experience only 2 people should be in spot. Otherwise everyone will get reduced exp and they will overkill spot leading to even less exp.
- Here comes the good etiquette. Third person informed about that case should respect people who were there first and leave to other place to not waste their own time and time of people who were there first. Just as people said, there is plenty of other places and in one of other places, that third person can be first one there
- If the third person is here only for bosses/quest/skyshard its appreciated if that person will achieve his goal without interrupting activity or people who were first in that place
- Same goes for people who were first in cave just for the sole purpose of exping. They shouldnt just randomly kill bosses. They respawn time is long and they offer very little prize. People who come for sole purpose of boss killing need them more so they should be left alone for people like that.
-
Thats of course my opinion based on common sense and good manners.
