I would love your opinion on this.
I try to be a good citizen. I do not price gouge or undercut. I leave people alone if they are -ga farming. I do not spam shouts in the cities. If I am asked a question, I try to answer even if I think the question is stupid and/or do not want to be bothered. I have never charged for a D2. I do not buy/sell gil. I know my job, and I think I do it better than average. My equipment is pretty darn good. Over the weekend, I was put on someone's b-list for the first time (that I know of).
I was farming in Pashhow Marshlands for cuttings, beastman's blood, silk, etc. when I see Jolly Green unclaimed. The only other person in the area that I see is fighting a crawler. I run up, hit my stun macro, and proceed to fight him. All the sudden, I start getting yelled at. This guy (do not know if it was the same guy who was fighting the crawler or not) is claiming that I stole Jolly out from under him. He proceeds to rant and rave using some colorful language about how much I suck, and he is going to follow me around stealing what I am trying to farm. After a little conversation, he says he is just going to b-list me.
I love hunting NMs. I have competed for claims all the time and never gotten a reaction like this. Am I wrong in thinking that proximity to the NM is irrelevant if he is unclaimed? I think this is nothing more that sour grapes, and I should just say good riddance. Being added to Doomchicken's b-list is not the end of the world.
Thanks for letting me vent...
Just want to say that everything got worked out with Doomchicken and I. We are even talking about teaming up to go out and hunt some NMs.
