Hmm... not so much a flame but a bit of confusion. I have noticed now, camping both the lizzy boots and emp pin that there are two obscure instances of camper at these sites. I can't quite figure out why they come to camp lowbie equipment... but getting to the point.
Type A) A lv 75/37 thf/nin, as one example [any level 75/37 job shows up] wearing incredibly superior gear (almost full relic, if not full, god and sea gear, divine might, you name it, they even have a couple abjuration gears, on some of the random JP players who do this)... my question is. What in the fucking hell are you doing camping for an empress pin or bounding boots when you have access to much superior gear? These drops are only good for so long in the lower levels, until they are replaced either by AF or a better overall piece. For crying out loud I saw 3 instances of campers who had boots from gods, and optical hats. Now you might say, hey they want to level a low level job like THF...
Err hey, these are 75 thfs, or 75 rngs, or 75 nins all camping this. And their subjobs usually promote otherwise... I mean seriously if you have the money to afford the cursed gear or mats for some of this gear you're wearing (one of these guys had an HQ uncursed god hands piece, for crying out loud) why not just shell out the measley 400k to buy the non r/ex boots? Saves your time and frustration camping. It's not like they're terribly uncommon either on the AH.
For me, starting out from scratch means I don't have access to lots of money anymore, since I have to slowly work from the ground up like in the good old days. Money is a rare commodity to me now, so I can't just go around flinging 100's of millions of gil to save time...I'm forced to actually camp this gear so I can level a job and eventually be able to make this money/get this good gear that my counter campers seem to like to flash off.
Type B) And this really both frustrates me and confuses the fuck out of me, especially when they get the claim vs. me. Yeah, I'm talking about the campers, not necessarily super high level or anything, but for example, the other night when I was camping VE I came across a 56 thf/nin WEARING the fucking empress pin, who was camping him, and also claimed him out from underneath me...
Yes. He was WEARING the rare/ex pin and still camping it. WTF? is all I could think. It was very frustrating. Not only did he claim it, he left, and came back a couple hours later to camp it... AGAIN. No, he was not in any parties, so I threw out the idea that maybe he was camping for a friend somewhere in the zone. Was this guy just a complete dickwad? A retard? When you camp a r/ex item that you already have, you are one of the two, because it deprives those that need the item from getting it. And honestly there's no point to doing this. You *could* of course, to maintain a self delusional pedestal so that only YOU have this awesome gear (? only awesome for so long anyway...) but then these kinds of people later whine about gimps in thier party. Well hey next time one of you B types here decides that it's fun to deprive players who need gear of getting it when you already have said gear, next time ask YOURSELF why that member in your party doesn't have it.
It wasn't the only case I've seen of this. I've seen people at LL wearing the boots, not in parties. I've seen numerous counts of people at VE wearing the pin, and heard account sof people at mee deggi wearing the kote. One thing I would understand is if they had the rare version and wanted the r/ex version to sell and make some return on the item they bought in the past... but sometimes the counter campers I see go beyond the bounds of stupid!
I end my rant. TY.
