Ninjaing other people's objectives is just rude and wrong

I know places where it is considered rude to let the bottom of your foot face someone. Yet I doubt many of us are careful never to cross our legs or prop up our feet.

I would consider it rude for a stranger to attack me in the game just because I'm unintentionally flagged for PvP after healing someone. Trying to murder my character is certainly rude in my book. But the other player just sees someone they think is okay to attack.

After all, his character's faction is at war with mine. But that's...Role Playing. Surely it's no excuse for a random attempt on my character's life!

One person's rude is another person's normal behavior. Pretending that your standard is better than someone else's is a slippery slope.

When i get home from work tonight I may go to lowbie worlds and run around doing this for LOL's....

Best idea ever go to koriban follow people around and kill all the world mobs they are trying to level up on ROFL.

Well, one nice thing for everyone is the sharding. It tends to reduce the
competition for this kind of quest item. Another is that such items have
a very fast respawn. So best not to get too upset.

However... If you're a class that can stealth, anytime you see someone
running up to ninja the quest objective you're killing an NPC for... Just
instant stealth to throw aggro on the person that thinks they're going to ninja.

Then while they fight, just take your quest item and go.

It's funny, I've actually had people rage at me in general over that. They
come in expecting to ninja a quest item while I'm fighting, I stealth, to give
them the fight. Then they get mad when I take the quest item?

Maybe as some have stated, they're role playing dark side, and don't like
being played for a dark side fool.

that happened to me, but I did it right back to him once the one of two places respawned and I made an obscene gesture

Cept can't do it from a speederbike so I didn't do any emote. Hopefully that issue is changed

Just remember what goes around comes around and karma, is a b**** next time you do something nasty to someone in the game.

Lol, that's funny. ^^

It's times like these that make me miss a good old fashioned EQ train.

EQ had some excellent tools to police d-bags. Mostly it boiled down to needing a group to level, so if you made a reputation for yourself as a jerk, you couldn't level anymore.

Ah the good ole days...

You sound like an outstanding human being.

I actually love that this is allowed. They should take it further and automatically PVP flag people that do this...that way, we'd get real open world PVP. At least on PVP servers

If I steal your objective, you should be able to kill me (or at least try).

Monks were great back then. Be a douchebag to a monk is probably one of the worst things you want to do as a EQ player heh.
