This is something that has been somewhat annoying me lately...
There really aren't very many decent Lv99 camps around in the older areas of the game, where one can just set up shop and kill some IEP Lv96-100 mobs for some easy skillups and maybe some XP on a guildie's/family member's character.
What has been annoying me lately, are times I'll set up shop in one (Onzozo is one of my favorites, nice and easy to get to, and the mobs die quick, and the Grounds Tome maxes out at almost 4k per page) and then sometime while I'm in there, some other person will show up, and proceed to start calling out their Trusts.
It only goes downhill from there -- we're both having to try and out-pull each other, then sometimes d*ckish moves are used to try and steal mobs from each other, and meanwhile we're all getting lousy XP because of this stuff going on. Since most of the camps can only support maybe 1-2 groups if they were VT, we're running out of mobs (usually the 'rare' mob the Tome asks for). Sometimes we have to wait and camp the spawns, sometimes we're just standing there doing nothing, and all the while I'm thinking...
"Why don't they just go somewhere else or do something else, because quite simply, I was here first."
No, of course not. They insist on camping in your camp, and pulling your mobs. I remember way back in the day, at least three-quarters of the time, a group would go to another camp or something (that and there were more camps for each of the leveling locations on average and each camp could support more groups) if they saw one was already occupied.
I miss that kind of behavior. I miss when people would see that you're already there, and just decide on going somewhere else. Also, it'd help if they actually gave us more camps per mob groups/families in some places (like Onzozo). Some of the camps they have set up, you can tell they only intended for there to be one group at the camp at any given time; anytime a 2nd shows up, everybody gets terrible XP.
I just wish people would stop butting in when I was there first. It is highly rude, disrespectful and annoying.
EDIT: And the problem is, for ME to move (I shouldn't have to; I was there first), I have to dump the progress I made on increasing my Grounds Tome pages, whereas they just started, they can relocate if they see the place is already taken.
