Man you people,

last time i bothered grinding i saw a lower vet level messing up the grind, i knew he was attempting to grind so i messaged him asking if he's grinding.

He replied with yes so i then messages him back saying he's not doing to properly and he's losing exp and that i'd show him, invited him to a group and grinded for 3 hours with him.

Youre obviously not on console and youre not in rkindeft where there are 30 people killing one mob

QQ MOMMY I WANT ALL XP TO MYSELF !!! QQ

Done plenty of grinding myself in the past, back when vr14 was the max level. Had my favourite spot. Learned there was no etiquette whatsoever when it comes to players pulling mobs. There were a multitude of times when other players would come along & pull mobs away I had started attacking, in the circuit I was running.
Fortunately I found a spot far less known, because I could not be bothered gnashing teeth over unimportant things.
If I'm completing a quest while other players are grinding the spot, tough luck, your grind is going to be interrupted so the quest can be finished, as experienced in Greenshade during the Easter break.

If someone is trying to grind my spot and ruins it I just ruin it further until they leave.

I hate to break it to you guys, but ginders (or questers for that matter) have no claims to any mobs in the game. It's practically public property--anyone can fight them.

Furthermore, there is no "correct" way to grind (optimal, yes, but not correct) so you shouldn't get into too much of a hissie fit when a person is pulling/killing mobs in whatever fashion just because it doesn't live up to your standards.

You can offer advice, but never should you try to enforce. Trying to enforce it for whatever reason to a person who wants little to do with you (as opposed to say, joining your hardcore group) makes you little more than an outright pri** at best, a harasser at worst.

WTB the old craglorn grinds.

Just seen a VR4 grinding with vicious death all hope is lost

LoL... Learn how to grind you! Nah, I mess people up all the time, mostly because I tend forget where I am and what I'm doing there, or even how I got there in the first place.

Time to reveal my MMO noobness

There's a right way to kill mobs for xp besides.... just killing them? I guess I'm too old school to think of stuff like this but I seem to do just fine by just going out and killing things in no particular way or in whatever place happens to be convenient at the time.

This thread makes me sick.... on BOTH sides of the argument.

Grinders: It isn't your damn game, suck it the [snip] up and understand that people aren't as "1337" as you OR that they MIGHT be doing quests in YOUR personal grind stop. Rather than jump to hate tell, ask to group, or let them know that you are not questing. "Do you even grind, brah?"

Questers: Understand that this game is ridiculous when it comes to 2nd/3rd/etc play through and don't deliberately troll people just because "you can't call dibs". You can still see a group of 2 people grinding, don't just follow them around hoping in on their kills or trying to pull stuff away (yes, people will taunt enemies off you to mess with you AoEing).

TL/DR: Work together and realize people are people, don't be [snip] to each other.

[Edit to remove censor bypass]

Sounds like the old "Hardcore vs. casual" debate with a new twist.

I happen to be somewhat of an expert on grinding, if I do say so myself





See?

Everquest is king when it comes to grinding,mob pulling and just about everything else in a MMO. I like playing ESO,but it's nothing compared to Everquest of 1999. Most of you today wouldn't be able to handle how hard Everquest was. You would rage quit. I'm sick and tired of all the hand holding in today's MMOs.

EQ was carebear village lol and you talk about hand holding.

Talk to me after being perma red and being hunted by a bunch of wannabe heroes 24/7 on UO.

;-; if you watch videos and find these spots how do you not know how to pull the mobs

Problem is some of you so called "pros" run as fast as you can and try to clear all the mobs before others can get to them, soooooooo , "others" have to double back pull whatever they can in the wrong "order" sometimes , just suck it up , you don't own the mobs , maybe ask others to join instead of just running in a group of 2.

the "pros" do this because we dont want the spawn to rubberband back to there spots. maybe the "others" need to watch more videos or ask before jumping in and messing up whats goings on? ive never turned down a group for grinding,it only helps everyone. but if you come running in like capt erratic ass, im gonna say something to you.

Say something to what end? You hold no right over anyone in the game and can't dictate to anyone, you can help someone of they want it but if they want to be capt erratic ass then more power to them, they've paid the money, it's their game.

If I'm in a zone questing or to pick up mats then ill do that and go, I will kill pretty much everything I come across though. I'm oblivious to the best grinding zones tbh but if I see a group or someone killing a squad of enemies ill leave them to it unless clearly struggling but I will move past and start ahead of them if that's where the quest is taking me and I will take on whatevers there. Because I'm oblivious to the best grinding spots though doesn't mean I need to watch more videos and to know whas going on in the way you play the game and what you are doing in a specific area.
