WARNING - To Special Snowflake Grinders

Rune_Relic · September 2015

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 special snowflake 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

Next one that asks wont receive a polite or cooperative response !

I think I am good now actually...Thanks for the pills offer though. Should be OK :d

@Rune_Relic you know what is much more fun than venting on forums? Just don't react to their whispers and show them that you can do the grind better solo, then they can do with two. I do that every time. Usually they just leave after a couple minutes.

Alucardo · September 2015

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.

Yes. Sorry about the Rant.
Just one of those occasions where you cant sleep all night because you are fuming.
I am a bear with a sore head when I don't get my sleep. lol

Ah, the classic "Don't killsteal, brah! I'm losing XP!!". Glad to see it alive and well still in 2015

Derra · September 2015

If i happen to come across someone who just want´s to leech without doing any work i simply pull a whole room and watch him get slaughtered.

If the person can carry their own weight i´m fine with it and grp them.

What i´m not fine with is me doing the work while someone else is gaining an advantage of my effort.

No worries. Happens to everyone at some point. I feel for you though. I have had a bout of insomnia as of late.

Because... winding them up wont educate them about their flawed logic and selfishness.
They will just think of you as an arse and carry on the next day.
Assuming they actually listen to anyone other than themselves of course.

Lol I have said something like that only it involved cursing, wishing their relatives will suffer some form of debilitating disease or infections followed by a tirade of loosely linked insults. I don't grind but the late arrival heroes do get on my nerves sometimes.

True. But they will not be educated in any other way as well. There is too much self-righteousness in those heads. It is more efficient to just oust them from the spot you want to work, for as long as you want to do it. I have one duo that I used to see quite regularly at my V3-V8 spot, who by now leave if they see me coming. Funny, that. Made a bunch of friendliest buddies there at the same time with people who are willing to group up...

So Just assume they wont change and don't give them the benefit of doubt.
OK. That was plan B anyway lol.

Most of the time I will join in with others on the fly... and others will join me and sometimes ask to group for some reason.
I accept no problem although I cant see the point as long as everyone tags the kills.
I make a point of only getting 1 hit in so that others can get damage in too.
I want the loot not the XP really.
So I know what you are saying about most people.
Hell its fun vaporising everything around sometimes.

I have also had the privliedge of seeing some truly awesome nb/sorc/tamplar/dk builds too.
I think....I hope I don't come across you in PVP. hehe

Leandor · September 2015

Duo is very beneficial for the 10% XP bonus that you get just for teaming up. More means less XP per kill, but makes it easier to pull in everything and is quicker. If you have a spot that does not limit you with respawn times, a team of three is a blast if all know what to do and agree on a route.

NDwarf · September 2015

I get this in Gold zones on Ps4. Don't see another player around for 2-3 hours while leveling up and doing quest. It's empty but kind of nice in a way (except for world bosses, need help with some of them and no one is around). Move to the next quest area and it's 2-6 players pulling every quest mob and AOE'ing them.

Example, I need to kill 5 vampires for ash or some *** and they're pulling everything so I start tagging mobs. Glad I play with voice chat off cause I know I was getting cursed out heh. Do my thing and move on. Not worth the time or effort trolling them.

you can't blame people playing a game designed bad. you can't tell them what to do. Tell ZoS to fix it instead.

3. DONT PLAY AN MMO. Go find a single player game where you wont be impacted by other people in public areas.

I agree, this is an mmo everyone, has access to everything and nothing belongs to an individual, back in the day before self entitlement reared it's ugly head, people used to group and grind together, part of the social aspect of an mmo, I guess times have changed and not for the best it seems..

Tan9oSuccka · September 2015

Yeah. Sadly, this has happened to me as well.

I had a squeaker get on mic and tell me to leave the area because I was kill stealing his mobs.

Suggestion: ignored. Sorry squeaker, it's an MMO and a public area. Get a grip.

starlizard70ub17_ESO · September 2015

I found Cryodiil is a good place to grind xp for levels V14 - V16. Just pick one of those villages/ruins with goblins/undead/bandits and go in a circle around it. The mobs respawn fast enough that you won't get bored. Of course you have to watch for other players from different factions, but it's a rare occurrence since most people are in IC or busy taking keeps.

This all day long. Anyone who played Ultima Online before they came out with Twink-Land, knows that the game was rife with people who wanted nothing more than to ruin your game. I would follow those morons from one end of Felucca to the other dropping Poison or Energy Fields on them.

Junipus · September 2015

Have you tried getting as many people from your friends list/guild to swarm the grind spot and nuke everything constantly to teach them that it's a MMO? That usually works

willymchilybily · September 2015

I can feel this. Between local area chat and the "move away now" emote being used incorrectly (presumably its for a tank/raid leader to use in boss fights?) i can get wound up. Its not just the rudeness, but the tenacity of their arrogant selfishness that think's they have any right to tell me what i should do in my game, and depreciate my own enjoyment, solely because they may lose out or have to share a little bit of the XP for 10 minutes. I have even had it from guys who come into an area i am already in and tell me to "move away now"

The only reason i can see to have an alt in another faction is so if this happens in IC you can switch over and Gank them endlessly, following it up each time with your own emotes "move away now" and "guffaw"

If you want to grind with no interruption go on at 3am-7am at a weekend after you've been to the pub and have it all to yourself. Otherwise suck it up.

summitxho · September 2015

I must have many people angry at me reading through this post, never played an MMO before and when I see a player getting chased by a mob, I always thought I was helping out when helping him take on some of the guys, but that's also referred to as a kill steal and frowned upon by some? Hmm I tell you, as someone new to the game and MMO in general, should be a suggested etiquette! Seems there is a lot of drama when playing an MMO to be honest, I just want to have fun. I imagine I will hear from someone eventually about what an ass I am, but honestly, I dont mean it, just a clueless newbie to MMO!

Rikal · September 2015

Why does anyone get worked up over this? Complain to me I stole your XP, you get the standard response "LOL". From my end that sums up the situation perfectly.

dday3six · September 2015

So you're whining that they're whining and that is suppose to solve something?
