"Player Etiquette Threads" A breakdown

Don’t…
-Steal a chest that someone is killing a monster by
INSTEAD - Help them kill the mob and ask them if there is a item that is for your class in there. You would be supresied how many times a warrior will hand you mana pots or a caster will ask if you want the peice of mail gear.

-Steal a node
INSTEAD - Go and get the next one in the spawn pattern. Stealing a brack rotus will be very profitable. You might get a thread made about it on the forums along with screenshots. Some people may defend your actions due to the herb but there is a handful that won’t.

-Walk up and take a named mob kill from a group because you are better at spamming tab and a instant attack. Ask to join group, if they are full then it’s free game.

-Need on greens to DE and not pass out mats evenly.

-Inside a instance, ask if anyone else is taking a gather profession and offer to round robin it or /roll

These posts are just turning into tumors. I’ll say what I said in another similar thread. Some references were mentioned in your post. Some weren’t. But it’s still relevant. In this case, the reference not in your post is the topic of elitism. But you can replace that with being a constant pushover instead.

You’re not sounding elitist. You’re sounding like you want to pave a way that’s emotionally stable and safe for you and others like you when you start playing Classic.

Those aren’t rules. No one has to /roll for anything. No one has to buff random players. And you definitely do NOT need to give other players a “right of way” when they’re attacked when gathering nodes.

Is there something called etiquette? Yes. Are there such things as unspoken rules? Absolutely. But both are NOT obligatory, never were, and players should feel free to screw anyone over at any time in order to get a leg up in any sort of situation.

You want to be elitist? Then preach the idea of free will and let people play how they want to. This is how MANY people played, including myself;

By making personal calls to either be nice, or be realistic. Or in this case, your definition of realistic may be rude. It may be mean. Terrible. Callus, thoughtless, heartless. This list can go on and on.

And at the end of the day, I’m willing to say sure. I’m willing to agree with all of the above. It is what it is though.

Sometimes you get it.

And sometimes you get got.

There will be times where you yourselves will get it. There will be other times when you all will get got as well. Same for me. Same for everyone. Noobs included.

Play how you will. Let the chips fall where they may and have fun.

This is being elitist. Take what you can get. If you’re itching to be nice, then do it. Do what it takes to get the best stuff you can get. There’s greatness to be had in being a dirtbag scumlord lousy PoS elitist.
