I logged on today and went to Acrylia Caverns. I previously had only been there a few times to camp the vex thall shard, and try the ring of fire...needless to say I'm still learning the zone. It's quite large and there are many twists and turns. Anyway...I click on the little statue to go into inner acrylia, and make my way to a central room with 6-7 spawns and make a pet. I kill the 3 mobs in the nook, and then the rest of the room. There are 4 people from a guild who works cooperatively with mine down a staircase, who are gonna tell me when they're leaving. (going well at this point) I Clear 2 other rooms in the mean time while the other group is clearing the room adjacent to the arch sage spawn. I get a warlord while waiting(he dropped gauntlets) and then a few minutes later I get a link of a lucid shard, a big YES! and a we're leaving from my 4 friends. I run down and clear the wanderers, the 2 mobs in the room(that they had left) and the arch sage PH. Since the repop time is slow...I go looking for the high priest and clear that room waiting for the warlord room to spawn again. Within an hour I've given away 3 lucid shards and let a few wandering people take runes, the book and letters that drop and anything else left of the corpses. OOC'ing shards and such.

Here come a rogue and paladin...The guild tag they wear is synonymous with stupid. They happen to run by me, and then set up to kill in the room I had just cleared(around the corner and down a small staircase, 1 mob away). They don't ask if I'm clearing the 4 rooms(which is typical of someone in the room I'm in), and the fact that a necromancer with a pet repeatedly pulling to the same spot from 3 different stairwells leading to the room didn't tip them off I guess. I go down the staircase as the room is spawning to see them medding. I tell them I was clearing the room and to please leave. They said they were here first (bullshit). I tell them my friends told me when they left, and I took the room from them and to get out.... They reply, your gonna share..too bad. I say ok and pull the room and kill it in front of them. Then go kill the arch sage. I then go back to my original spot and start pulling the room as it repops, getting two wanderers and 3 pops all at once. As the corpses begin to pile up I see them standing at the entrance to the room. There's not much up to train me with so I'm not to concerned at this point. The 5 mobs die relatively at the same time, so I go pull the spawns otw to another named/ph spawn...I come back with 2 mobs and while I'm killing them, I notice they're looting my corpses(without asking, or being asked to do so)...not a big deal, and if they hadn't tried to steal my spawns to begin with I woulda let it slide. The fact that they didn't respect my spawn bothered me. Then looting corpses after staying in a room that was camped(for quite a while before they got there, lied about themselves being there before me. Pulling a few mobs when I got "delayed" a bit in another room, (making more downtime for me)
then taking stuff they had no right to, has me really chapped off at this momemt. I OOC "if your gonna steal my camp, please be nice enough to not loot my corpses too" They leave the room. Someone in another part of the zone, "what do you expect from Alliance of the stupid(stars, is the name of the guild). That gave me a little chuckle. They get flamed with, "nothing is beneath them" if you think you hit bottom, look under your boot, and you'll probably see them there, etc etc. The ooc's got a bit funny, really.

I guess what bothered me most was them seeing someone there, empty rooms and helping themself to whatever they wanted. Lying didn't help either. The biggest laugh I got from the two was....They came up and asked me to show them they way out, after clearing the corpses of all the mobs I killed. I found that a bit incredible...sad but incredible nonetheless.

I had a very similar thing happen to me the other day. I was clearing the goblin town in Warslik's Woods for the shrunken goblin earring to sell. Well.. about 30 minutes from the time I got there and cleared the town (about 2xs) I come up to the center of the town around the fire to check on respawns and I see a SK killing grachnist the destroyer. I send him a tell asking him what the heck he was doing in my camp spot? He tells me he was there for the last hour and wishes I would leave... lol!

I tell him he was full of excrement because I had been clearing the town for over 30 minutes - two full spawns. He says he was in the town already and HE had cleared the town... what a crock!

So for the next 20 minutes, it was a race to see who could kill what first. Finally he got enough of my point and click pet killing to leave.. but what audacity the guy had to tell me a bold face lie.

I always hate confrontation, I usually kill in areas where it static spawns, and leave camping for items and exping seperate, people can be soooooooooooo rude. I mean ...I too travelled a far way to get to the zone, and they using we travelled so far and we dont want group to break uop cause of thee hastle of moving to different spot just doesnt cut it. face it the game is all static if it a one time drop maybe i see where the confrontation is needed, but on static stuff where you can come back a week or days maybe even hours later to do no confrontation needed. people are just really over hauled on the fact that their chars is the only thing that matters every other player is considered an npc and doesnt need any consideration, what you going to do hail me and wait for the bracket [get a life] to come up?
