No big deal. Just whisper them to screw off, block them, then go about your business. I always think it's kind of funny when competitive farmers get all bent out of shape because they think you stole their node. Funnier yet when they start swinging their big sword at you.

On another note, it's unfortunate that mats aren't instanced. The grind is bad enough...let alone having to compete for them.

People get super protective of their Spellscar XP. When my friend and I were wee noobs we didnt know what anything was or meant, we were just simple questers exploring, trying to kill anything we saw. Got insulted to hell and back for leeching, without ever understanding what it was. People get themselves into a mindset where they assume the worst intentions in people. Any community will have its idiots. I'd delight in the fact that their willingness to explain anything to you means that they keep having their farm *** up.

I very diligently annoy these kinds of entitled players. It's an open world zone. Want the experience to yourself? Go to an instance.

Yes, I'm that one butthole of a player that'll "chase ahead" if these entitled jerks rotations just to disrupt then until they leave. They are not gonna bully me into not killing whatever the hell I want, wherever the hell I want.

And if they go aggro on chat, that's when my resolve gets buffed up to impossible degrees.

I hate entitled elitist jerks.

I expected something more... I don’t know, actually toxic, when I clicked on this thread. Instead I see the equivalent of an old man waving his cane at kids yelling “get off my lawn”

I literally chain reply "I didn't see your name on the node." To every text they send until they give up.

I ignore people like that and do as I please.

If anything, it's like an invitation to stay and mess with them further.

Yeah, they should be instanced/personal - they are in most games, now.

Nodes are slightly different from the subject at hand, though, in my opinion.

They don't have someone's name on them, but if someone is right next to one, it is polite to run on and find your own.

Otherwise, you can be running innocently up to a node and there are people who will, intentionally, try to run up from behind you and grab it and then they will follow you around the map doing that; even if you then try to go a different way.

That's intentionally trolling someone, who did nothing to you and is just trying to go about their business.

As opposed to attacking someone who just, innocently, tries to help you kill some mobs, as they run by.

Attacking them when they don't even know what they have done wrong (because they haven't really done anything wrong!) is totally out of order.

You should've blurred every gamertag. Mods might pay your post a visit now.

But to shed some insight on why "vets" get like this, especially during an event that creates a desire to farm. Mobs respawn on timers, and when there's a high demand on farming them, players will create a mob pull rotation and everyone will group up and run the rotation together, so as to maximize efficiency in loot drops and xp gained. If a group is running the rotation and then some randoms run up and fight adds ahead of them, that's now thrown the respawn timers out of whack and interrupted the group's efficiency, thus wasting time.

I know low level players aren't expected to know this which is why I personally don't give them crap about it. (I rarely farm to begin with), but just wanted to let you know why level capped players act out like this.

Regardless, the game doesn't exist just for vets, the beasties are there for everyone, so the "vets" can get stuffed.

TBH, I might just go on in tonight and screw with a few respawn timers.

Rude players are a waste of time to respond to. I just right click ignore, then continue doing whatever it was I was doing. If they wanna duel over it, then thats fine with me.

How medieval 😂
