I usually leave them alone to grind themselves to sleep, but for the real obnoxious ones I usually get a few friends together and farm their farm for a bit.

When I am passing through doing a quest, if I get a whisper telling me to leave, I tell them I am just doing the quest be out of here in a sec, if they keep pressing the issue I remind them I paid for the game to, and their names are not on these mobs, that complaining to me has caused me to be in the area longer, most of the ones I encounter were ok with me telling them be out of here in a sec, I have encountered only a couple of real jerks that thought the mobs were exclusive.

Haha I've never had this happen to me in any MMO. Such a sense of entitlement and immaturity. People suck.

Lol what they were grinding there, 3 or 4 mobs?! I somehow cant remember places with such high mob density in ESO, like huge packs to grind. Probably they came from some Asian MMO with that mentality - if you want to grind up levels go to dungeons.

I've run into this before, but only in Cyrodiil. (How dare I interrupt their grinding trying to get the boss kill achievement for the delve and/or AP boost from the boss! </sarcasm> I had to go to Cracked Wood Cave something like four times just to get the boss achievement, because grinders kept killing everything...) If they get obnoxious, report them.

The only time I had this happen where they got really rude I told them if they didn't shut up I would run the circle in the reverse direction they were running taking at least half their mobs. I was way over leveled as I was just going back and getting quests I had skipped so I could have wrecked their grinding completely killing mobs before they had a chance to get a hit in.

I got my quest in and was leaving. One of them couldn't help himself and let loose with some profanity. That led to them having about 15 minutes of unproductive grinding and they knew why.

You know, recently I finally understood how these people feel when they get other players in "their" grinding spots.

I recently found a neat little corner in the Old Orsinium public dungeon where I could farm Rubedo Leather Scraps. Since one of my characters is a Stamblade I'm in need of Leather, so I developed a little system of going between this group of Hagravens and Harpies, to this group of Harpies, to this group of Echatere ect. My usual time spent gives me about 200 to 300 pieces before I leave. One day a group of two or three is in there as well and they're obviously doing the same thing, and their route cuts into mine, though It didn't even seem like they had a route, but more like they just killed whatever they ran into.

I started to get so ticked when they would pull half of "my" group of Echatere away, or would take down a large group of "my" Harpies while I wasn't there so I didn't get the drops. Then I laughed hard cause I realized how those people felt.

I've never run into that issue before, but I have run into high CP people mowing down mobs in popular grinding spots...

Step One - play with Zone Chat, Yell and Emotes disabled - check.

Step Two - /ignore Obnoxious Grinder - check.

What was the problem again ?

I like zone chat most of the time. Just for kicks sometimes I start in Glenumbra and try to do a good deed then move on to the next zone and do one seeing how far I get through all the zones before it is time to do something else. I wouldn't be able to help people if I couldn't see zone chat.

Being on the PC EU server I have English Zone chat enabled and Zone chat disabled. I'm not totally anti-social, but I can do without all the trade offers and guild recruitment that normally ruin public chat channels for me.

People like this bring out my vindictive side otherwise known as my stamsorc.

When I get salty messages like that from grinders regarding "their area", I disrupt their rotation and kill everything.

This is not a single player game, folks.
