Was doing campaign in Grauberg yesterday and like usual, grabbed one and ran off with it. This WAR comes out of no where and I run with it for a few minutes as he's doing this glitchy follow on the mob [that error where their weapon is on the ground and only the feet move but no the upper body] to try and get the point across "No, I ran this far away for a reason". Tells me to go solo normal mobs and I tell him I dont get 3k EXP from killing one normal mob. Guy starts /shout spamming "<t> <pos> [Help me out!]" like a dick.

That's what really grinds my gears.

People used to do stuff like that to me when I was on whm. I would be soloing a mob and they would run towards me at like 5% health and scream CURE ME! before I could cure them they would die. Some people would then proceed to try and mpk me out of spite like I was the one to kill them.

Behavior like your i.e. pulling one for yourself is what pisses me off.

I don't mind if people do this when they kill it fast enough at least solo, but I hate people who drag monsters away and artificially prolong battles.

What I wish is the campaign arbiter had the ability (with high reconnaissance ) to tell us how many monsters are left in the wave, and the position of it if there's only 1 left.

I find it odd how people are incapable of moving once engaged, thereby in the OP's situation him and his buddy could moved slightly out a bit to avoid the link/aggro from the temporarily de-aggroed mob.

oh, and bring RR or sub WHM =p where possible.

They get hit by quite a bit, but as long as your aren't making it face a mob that counters it spirit link will usually keep it alive as long as you.

I can agree with this. I'm only ok with pulling away if you just want to pull out of range of npcs but are still visible to players.. people who pull mobs 40 miles away are the worst.

The thing I hate the most is when PC's are fighting a group of AoE happy mobs on top of the Tag NPC. Nothing like Event skipped spam when trying to get temp items, or getting hit with AoEs as soon as you get tags, lol.

Campaign is campaign, at least you didn't get Dark Ixion trained onto the Grauberg campaign for 20+ minutes.

This is why I like to come ranger to campaign... shouting the position of the far away mob usually gets the group to kill it and end the battle pretty quickly.

The Campaign Battle has ended!
You recieve 320 Experience Points!
You recieve 320 Allied Notes!
You should have waited longer!




















See what I did there?

This. (Just so I can be like everyone else)

With campaign not being in town anymore when it was pretty much 24/7, I hate having to jump around from place to place every 5 minutes to get a couple hundred EXP each time because everyone feels like zerging all the mobs as soon as they get there. I like knowing I'll get 2500+ EXP when I'm finished with every single one.

Thats why at least on Lakshmi, the zones with the lowest volume tend to be:

-Pashhow (Rockchopper scares off people which gives you alot of time to pick off his buddies till the battle ends or npc arrive)

-Necropolis (Almost always barren, battles sometimes go on for 50+ mins because the orcs wail on the forts while the npcs stay put)

-Champaign (AoE Happy Yags scare off people which like pashhow means you have plenty of time to pick off lessers until the battle ends)

One thing that pisses me rightly though are those engineering units that either:

A. Drop bombs, warp.
B. Approach, start building a Belfry, Belfry spawns 3 mobs, battle over.
C. Approach, summon a turret, turret spawns a clusterfuck of mobs, 4-5mins pass, battle over.
