Self-serving prats
 

I was mining for copper ores earlier today, when I came across an area with many more ores to mine from than usual, so I proceed with my usual routine of simply mining whatever ores are near me (there were also only 2 enemies in this area to deal with , and both a fair distance apart, so I was more than able to take them if they attacked) When a cleric just randomly comes up to me from farther in the area and tells me that the area belongs to him because he is helping a noobish archer to get alot of money. I don't mind the fact that he was trying to help a noobish archer with getting money (though i somehow figure he was probably taking advantage of her noob-ness to get most of the money from the mining for himself), nor do I mind giving people space when it is necessary.. but as far as I'm concerned.. the mines are there for all players.. not just him and the noob he wsa mining with.. meaning we are free to explore and mine as we please.

Granted that selfishness and self-glorification to levels far beyond what is even close to being imagined what one deserves are two of my biggest pet peeves.. but I'm pretty sure that in all reality.. that's far beyond the powers that any player is ever really granted.. and so, I just continued my usual routine, keeping a bit of distance as i really didn't feel like putting up with a guild war when there were maybe 2 of us in the guild I'm in even online at the time.. and the other member was i think in Uruga..
The cleric that decided he's so much better than the rest of us was in Moon_Tree, I know that much for sure.. I think his name was.. -removed-
(not entirely sure on that one, but i think that's right) has anyone else encountered this problem (whether by this same self-serving @ss or by someone else)?

I removed the name in your post. No naming is allowed here, as well as blacklisting.

That'd probably annoy me a little but at least they didn't guild war you o:

But off-topic I haven't been in the mines in agessssssssss. It's too time consuming for too little money and experience. I don't go there to do my quests, as I just purchase ores from stores whenever I see them selling and keep it in my storage.

Although what the guy did was wrong I wouldn't complain simply because the Mines are filled with Ores so its easy to farm in there. Personally I would've just left to not draw out an arguement

You can claim a kill but not an area. As a favor when some asks politely for me to wait while they finish a quest I will do so. If they demand that I leave then I will tell them "you can claim a kill but not an area" and do as I please. Sometimes I will remain just to annoy them. If they say they were here first I will say "no you were not, I was here yesterday!" I never ask others who come to an area where I am working to go elsewhere.

Another thing I will do when soloing and someone is pulling everything from around me is to pick off what I can as they pass by me. I do not consider this IMHO a kill steal as they are running, not attacking. If they complain I will tell them not to pull from around me then.

My guild Silent Seminary is non-war so I dont need to worry about that.

You know what? Unless the guy killed every monster in the area so that he could mine the ores in peace, he had no right to "claim" the area.
