The people who are trying to reset for full stacks, or the people who keep attacking before full growth?
Is either instance considered griefing? We are stuck is a stalemate with 30 people standing around 1 orc warrior who refuses to stop attacking Consumption. There are about 5 tanks constantly resetting him, but the warrior refuses to stop, and is basking in the attention.
This seems like an awful player setup.
I mean that sounds like griefing to me, personally.
I mean, the game “technically” allows him to attack whatever mob he wants. What he is doing isn’t and exploit or anything, it’s just making other players frustrated because of the mechanics design of the mob rewards waiting.
Someone following another player around and stealing their kills or otherwise harassing them has been ruled as griefing in the past though, and that’s essentially not an exploit either. Behavior and intent are taken into account.
Corruption is horribly designed though.
I just idle there until people get bored of resetting him. Never takes more than 3-4 mins.
I’ll tell you why players don’t want to wait till stack 40 …most players are just getting into the new area and have to fill that bar up for first quest line you get…knows I told off few that kept pulling the mob back and resetting it…folks don’t have all bloody day to wait to get stuff done esp if running multi toons to get quest line done.
Do that stacking stuff later on …
Why? So you can get less rewards?
No. I’m talking about people resetting him AFTER 40 stacks. That’s the trolling.
It takes like 10 seconds to wait. WTF
What if the warrior just wants to kill the mob? Does that then make the other party griefers?
Bad encounter design is bad.
These are players who are deliberately trying to kill it before it grows in order to grief a larger majority of other players. The mechanics are explained over and over in whispers and general chat and it would take way less time to wait. It’s not that they don’t understand, it’s not that it would be faster (the determined tanks will reset for 10-15+ mins) it’s that they want to cause grief
there is another 40 stacks also
the gist is he’s either doing it because he doesn’t know any better, and I’m 10000% certain General, Trade, and /say has informed him otherwise, OR maliciously. To waste everyone else’s time.
I have to say he’s the griefing party.
It doesnt take long to stack. If you just stood there for 3 minutes, he’ll be full and you wont be shunned and labeled as a dookie brain.
Did that on my druid waited and waited never got pass 10 …waited over 3 mins …so what you say now…
yeah that’s griefing for sure.
I saw a very similar thing on Wednesday and it stopped almost immediately when general chat started telling people to report them for griefing.
Why would resetting for full stacks to let him get loot table be griefing?
That’s not what was happening. Everyone else was resetting the mob to try to get it to rebuild stacks. The warrior was standing where the mob would reset to, and would immediately attack it before it could build any stacks. He was bragging about how he was going to kill it before it built up any, proving that he definitely understood what he was being told by 20 other people (not counting the alliance standing around spitting on him)
So a bunch of tanks would keep resetting the mob, preventing the warrior from killing it, and it was this endless stalemate.
He needs to phase as well (he gets way bigger). Can’t pull him the instant it hits 40.
or do what the crops fly rare is bring the items to him
