it's no secret that anyone who is not a member of my monarchy sucks absolutley. see, other players (those who are not my friends) are complete jerks. except for the people who are wankers.
sunday, i was playing my warmage, kablammus. blammus is 18th level, which is a rough time for a young mage. he is casting level 3 buffs, and just became 4 schooled. so he isn't exactly a powerhouse.
at this stage of his life, there are only a handful of monsters that he can fight which are powerful enough to yield decent XP, but no so powerful that he cannot solo them. those creatures are low level olthoi.
so rather than hunt the first floors of the arcade, i took him to do the first two pincer runs. he got the harvester pincer with only a few deaths, and so he was going to hit the dark lair for the gardener pincer. i am not fond of this place because it is the first stop for many powerlevellers. i am just getting started when i run into two guys, one on his way in, an 11th level guy, and one on his way out, some 20 something archer. the 11th level guy asks someone to help him get his pincer. i agree and we make our way down, i imperil stuff and he kills it. he's buffed with 7's so it's not like my level 2 imperils are going to help a whole lot, but maybe i can revit him or heal or something.
so the 20something follows us back down and says "back off i was here first!"
and i was like, "no worries, it's not like there is a shortage of bugs"
and we set about killing stuff. meanwhile some level 70 guy shows up and blows everything away with some ring spell. the 70's guy says he found the pincer.
so i offer the 20 something archer to grab it if he wants it, and he says "don't need it i already got one"
and i think to myself "then why are you here? you can get more and bigger bugs in the arcade, which is like 3 clicks from here, and far less camped. but whatever."
so i offer the 11th level guy to take it. he is appearantly not listening or something and 20something has taken offense at my suggestion that we share, and says:
"do you want to settle this? go PKL and i will blow your brians out."
he says some other crap and then goes PKL.
i figure this has to be a joke, so i say "you forgot to call me a newb and an ebayer"
and he says "well, it's not like it isn't true."
and then i realize that this guy is totally serious. he actually wants to fight over bugs that spawn every 3 minutes.
that is why i think PKL should be a bannable offense. only jerks and wankers PKL and if you do it's practically admitting that you are one, and need to be banned.
