This is true. I have never seen so many people just run in and take an objective as I have in this game, and I have played various mmo's for five years.
It really surprised me the first time I saw it. I think the worst one I have experienced was when I had to kill droids and scan them and someone else came and scanned my kills. I didn't say anything, because what the names I wante to call that player would have gotten me permabanned from the game.

Sadly the anonymity of the internet makes cowards pretend to be tough guy villains.

The most you can do is pity them and wonder what made them so angst filled that they get enjoyment out of trying to share their misery with others.

Play the game how you like and others will do the same. This will, inevitably, lead to times when one or both parties are dissatisfied. This is the price of diversity. Some bad stuff comes with all the other good.
Fully aware of what objective means.

Rudeness is rudeness. Pretending it to be something else does not make it for debate.

Prior to this we had lvl 1s being escorted by high lvl groups into lvl 40+ zones so they could complete their upper tier crafting quests. Can't really protect a low lvl from half the zone. :P
Good point. I'm not sure if that feature was in when I played LoTRO. That sounds like a fine way to handle it. The mobs come to feed on lowbies... Maybe they'll introduce the sound of a dinner bell ringing when someone over five levels below the zone enters it.

This reaction is what use to make my day in open loot games, man oh man.....love it.

In fact if it were not for reactions like this the said ganker/griefer would prolly get bored and not do it.

In fact by such a topic being put up makes said griefers want to do it for sheer LOLs.

Prime example just a few days ago as an sith I got myself into the aldereen rep spaceport. I was ganking fools coming in and out, porting in ect.... Because the game is lame in terms of open world pvp and dying to pvp means nothing, but went about there business and didn't seem to care. Boring, i quit rather fast.

If I would of got a response like what is posted above that would of fueled me for hours to keep the ganking up.....

if the objective is a mob and I know theres another guy waiting for it I'll just invite him to the party. problem solved. sometimes I do it for item objectives too when I sense they are going to ninja loot.

Then you can remember that the objective did not in fact have your name on it as you wait for it to respawn and then fight the mob that respawned with it again.
My posts in this thread should make it clear my stance on this issue and it has happened to me before

And no, it doesn't bother me, it's barely an inconvenience. I just carry on what I was doing. Why? because I'm not a child who gets upset when others take quest items that I have no right to claim as my own.
