    I'm fine with it, I just try to go the opposite direction so we don't keep clashing.

    It's still better than every other MMO where we can to fight for mob ownership.

    Meh. If this sort of thing bothered me, I woudn't play mmo's.

    I have gotten a little frustrated at people who take a treasure chest while your fighting off the mobs that were guarding it. That's a little dirty-but still part for the course in mmo's.

    I kit my farmer in Darkstride and Jailbreaker, give him Orzoga's stam regen food and use rapid maneuvers to claim 4 nodes for every 1 of theirs. Or run ahead by about 30 seconds and start harvesting everything there.

    I assume the OP is talking about 'ninja looting' of a node which you're clearing mobs from, otherwise "from under you" has no meaning as they simply reached it before you.

    It's annoying but most MMOs except the likes of GW2 and FFXIV suffer from it so there's no point in reacting .. that said, I have very rarely /say-ed something offensive when the jerk was being a class 1 jerk.

    The likes of GW2 and FFXIV of course don't suffer from this, they're far more enjoyable to be a gatherer in.

    Exactly... its inevitable when farming... you're going to meet other farmers. The hope is just that your node rotation doesn't match up with his/hers at all. Crossing paths once in a while is a non issue. Just move on, nothing to see here.

    I just hit them with my weapons a few times, but I like the mudball idea.
    Yes, I do heartily repent. I repent I had not done more mischief; and that we did not cut the throats of them that took us, and I am extremely sorry that you aren't hanged as well as we.

    One time annoyed me so much on a chest that I didn't bother looting for a while. After that I adapted and understood that the game is how it is, and to loot or be looted.

    I'd prefer things a little different though can't change how the world is, only our reactions and all that jazz.

    These days I have a look of pity at the guys doing it, slowly losing their kind innocent ways to the dog eat dog lifestyle of the MMO grind machine. I tune out mentally, just loot what I can and keep on rolling. I even loot the leftovers that people give, I find it fun to see what levels have come through (level of item showing the level of the player).

    Good luck out there in loot land, may your mount carry you first to the treasures!

    If someone they legitimately get to a node before khajiit then that is fine.

    What this one most certainly does not like is when khajiit she is practically standing on a node and fighting something and someone they take the node from under the paws of this one.

    Khajiit will stand there and stare at the person of unforgiveable rudeness. If they move khajiit she will move too and stare at them. This one she will remember them yes.

    Then they go on the naughty list for Fishmas. No goodies for that one from Santie yes.

    Curse my internet provider.
    Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

    Meet my characters:
    Command: Do the thing.

    Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
    Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
    Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
    Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
    Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
    Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
    Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
    Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
    Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
    Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.

    Absolutely nothing.

    There'll be another node around the corner and they're only pixels really, nothing to get stressed about. I don't even know why you have started this poll? Is the game down and you're bored?

    Either I was lazy and didn't harvest it in time, or their character actually got their first. (For even though it may look like my character arrived their first on my computer screen, I know this can just be an artifact of varying latency that occurs in MMOs).
    If you can be anything, be kind.

    A player followed me around an area, in one of the zones doing exactly that. About to pick the nodes when the said person raced in three different times, just as my character was about to interact.
    Didn't say a word in zone chat, whisper them or report them. Plenty of other nodes around. Best way to stop a potential troll, is to not react.
    To top things off, the following day a player ran up from behind when I was about to pick pocket an npc. They failed and was chased off by the npc. After the npc came back, went to have another go at pick pocketing. The same player came back as I was about to have another attempt at pick pocketing and killed the npc using the blade of woe. This time I chased after the player, as I was going to report them. Couldn't keep up with their bolt escape lol.

    Because of latency, the guy you are raging at sees you trying to take his node, not him stealing your node. The game knows who was there first. If stuff like this gets you bent there are better outlets for your free time that involve less anxiety.
