Stores usually stock more than 1 of an item at a time, son.

Here's my new trick I thought I'd share. After having countless objectives stolen by douche bags, simply dont fight the elite or pack. As a sorc I just bubble up run in get objective then high tail it out the pack of mobs. If its the "strong" type or a "elite" ill bubble, CC grab then run.

No need to fight unless the mob has the object AFTER you activate the objective to summon it.

You can go with the flow of the game and accept that there are other people playing who may or may not be aware of the unwritten supposed etiqutte rules, or you can dog somebody around the game, ignoring your own enjoyment and missions in some childish attempt to make a point the other player will likely not pick up on anyway.
Here is the answer...not that I think you will like it...but it is the right one

the only problem i have with the ninjaing of quest mobs if its in a heroic 4 or 2 zone where my group fought for a long while to get to the boss to finish the quest just to have another group follow us in not do anything since they hung back to let us clear the way and just take the boss when we fought the last trash mob between us and him...

other than that if i see a group ahead going for the same thing i just help clear trash so they can get to it faster so it can spawn faster for me

I'd feel like too much of an *** ninjaing stuff. If I have to kill an elite and somebody else is stood looking at it, I always invite them to a group. If someone is killing stuff to get a chest behind, I never get it, I even help them kill so they can get it before anybody else does. If I see Empire players fighting something and losing I help them. I also never kill people lower level than me, unless I recognize them from killing me previously when they've been with someone higher level to help them or something.

Stop, Look, and Think before you do something. It is not difficult. Take stick of what you are doing and how it effects others around you BEFORE you do something.

They do it because they can as allowed by the game designers.
I would get in a real fight if someone behaved like this in real life.

And as I have written, there is not necessarily bad intention behind it.
You see it, you get it.
Standard behavior of many people and often seen from other players that serve as model.

Because you reap what you sow (you may understand it as karma) ..and it's the right thing to do.

Please provide objective evidence of karma, preferably a large study with a decent data group covering multiple social statuses, income levels etc.

Please provide the source of your objective moral statement.

I'll wait.

not necessary ..it'll slap you in the face someday.

It may not happen in some stupid game. But ill will and disrespect breeds the same ..and that is what you'll reap.
