Ninjaing other people's objectives is just rude and wrong

The problem is not the gamer but the game.

If the game forces you to do a fight after activing a device X, than device X should be only usable by you.
I was stolen an energy core (Balmorra) 5 times in a row after having activated it and being forced to do the subsequent fight.
Probably they did not even have bad intentions.

Besides, there is no reason why devices or terminals do not respawn within 1 second.
At best, they would not explode and disapear at all; you would just accomplish your mission without forcing someone else to wait.

It's called being an ******e, which many people are in the world today.

Just 10 minutes ago I saw someone about to die because they were killing mobs to get a chest, and I healed him up and let him get the chest. I could have easily just taken it, but sometimes people like to actually be respectful and not 13 years old. I know it's hard.

If anyone did that to me I would make sure to keep playing for hours while laughing at the idiot following me.

WHAT?? ...stop expecting common courtesy? ...never!

This is precisely what's f'ed up with todays society. Just because it's in a game doeasn't mean you are not interacting with other human beings!

I like how none of the people whining about this refuse to address the point that these items aren't theirs to claim.

Agree with the OP - it's exremely annoying. I'll hang back and wait until someone's finished killing before going near a mission objective or chest that's close to them.

Unfortunately it's the way of society today though. Me, me, me, 'my time's more precious than yours' and these people will never understand why their actions are seen to be that way by others.

Some mobs and mission targets take up to 5 minutes to respawn, but, I guess it's ok as their time is more precious than mine >.<

Hi.

I'm a Jedi and I have a confession to make. I am a dark Jedi.

I want to get my quest over with as quick as possible. You make that harder for me by being in my way. So I take your objective to stall you so you're not in my way when I reach the next objective.


Kind regards,

Some one who doesn't care about your feelings.

It's annoying, but got to remember, just because you can see something doesnt mean it has a giant neon sign over it saying it's yours. Sometimes you just have to wait for the respawn, Like I did with three objectives in a row the other night. I'm sure I have mistakenly done it to other people as well (as much as I'd hope I hadn't).

You are right, this is precisely what's f'ed up with todays society.

But knowing that this happens in real life, Bioware should avoid this stuff in the game.
As written above by myself, many people probably do not know that you have activated a device before and are forced now do the stupid subsequent fight.

Bioware should reset the respawn time to 1 second and avoid forced fights after device activation.

Exactly, but its worth realising that there are different standards in different cultures aswell.

I know I found it very annoying when I was queuing for the Vatican museum a few years back to find that a lot of tourists from certain specific other cultures that I won't name, seemed to disrespect the 'queue'. They basically did everything they could to get ahead of everyone else and didn't care if they elbowed you out of the way in the process - leading to a horror of an experience for everyone.

All it takes is a little bit of empathy and care for your fellow gamer/human being. Would you like to have that chest stolen from you? The answer is always 'no' so why would you steal if from someone else?
