I too play on The Rathe, so you might find this amusing B (seems to be a
lot of ignorance on Rathe). Instead of boring you with a long story I'll
make it short. I had a day in Ill Omen a month back when I was charming.
All alone in part of the zone, I had not seen another player in about an
hour. I was charming mobs for one on one fights. This warrior and bard(of
all people!) come along and start trying to kill steal. Now they have me
distracted and two wandering mobs jump me. No problem, I'll just run in
circles while charming. They start disrupting the mobs that are following
me by hitting the one my pet is on, by now I lose about 400 hp because of
it. While they are killing one of the mobs, some fool caster trains me
with 6 mobs. I give a real life sigh and just figure if the warrior and
bard go away I'll just have a 30 minutes challenge on my hands (sounds like
fun!). Nope . . .
Here is the good part. Half way through killing these I get a tell.
Warrior: "If you do that again I'll have your account banned."
Me: "Huh?"
Warrior: "You were charm kiting."
Me: "Yea, since when is that against the rules?"
Me: "Aren't you the one who just tried to kill steal? You know that IS
against the rules, and I could petition you for it, but I am not."
Warrior: "You had about 10 mobs on you. You are hogging all the kills.
You're not even getting hit."
Me: "Yea, because I was trained. I usually only have a one on one fight
until people jump in where they don't belong."
Me: "So you are going to petition me because you're jealous?"
Warrior: "It's not fair, your not getting hit, so that is exploiting."
Me: "Go ahead and petition then."
I was on for probably another 4 or 5 hours that night and I never got a
tell from a GM, I assumed they just laughed, if he petitioned at all.
Ignorance at it's finest.
