Common courtesy is essential in a party. Those that are rude have no place and their time would be better spent soloing. A few items to note are included in this article.
While in a party, it is good practice to give priority to killing the mobs that people need for quests. If more than one person has the same quest, even more priority should be given on this. Those with a higher level should generally help those in a party at a lower level. Once the quest is complete, the party should be thankful enough to help you with your quest.
Under normal circumstances, The drop system should be set to "sequential allocation" to allow all members of the party to receive drops. As quest items are only able to be picked up by those that are doing the quest, this is not an issue. However, if, for example, a party member has a quest to get 10 Tough Meat, these should be traded to allow him/her to complete the quest. In addition, occasionally mobs will drop "greens" (armour / weapons that have better stats than the ones you can buy from the NPC). It is polite to trade these with a member of your party that is the same class - i.e. if you get a hammer, and there is a cleric in your party, you should give the hammer to the cleric. If there is no-one in your party who can make use of it, you may keep it.
If you intend to go AFK (Away From Keyboard), please let your party know so that they don't think you have deserted them, and can protect you. If you are going AFK for longer than about 5mins, it may be more considerate for everyone if you leave the party and return to a place of safety.
If a member of your party deliberately kill steals off someone else, you should first inform them that what they are doing is wrong. If they continue, you should warn them that there is no place in a party for a kill stealer as it gives everyone in the party a bad name. If they still continue, they should be kicked from the party. The same applies for spamming the chat box - clerics do not appreciate being spammed with "buff me" or "rez me". You will get better results by saying "Can you buff me please?" or "Can I have a revive please?" no more than once every 30 seconds. If the cleric is not worth the extra letters, why are you worth the buff?
Finally, avoid creating a train of mobs with your party. When the mobs get bored they go back to their starting place and attack anyone in their path there. You should kill any train as soon as it appears. If you cannot deal with it, you probably should not be proceeding further down the map.
