    Most of the time when I get an objective stolen, the offender is so close that my A button brings up the option list for them instead of triggering the objective. I make use of that by filling out a report on them. The upgraded reporting command lets you add a note so you can mention the quest objective was stolen after I defeated the associated foes. I don't know if it really does any good, but it makes me feel better and if the offender does get banned for it then maybe they will think twice next time.

    I had one of them strolling around in dread ring next to me, I blocked him btw, he was always on his mount, roaming around and quickly approaching once I was engaged in a fight... But my gwf is mighty and he was to slow lol so effectively he got nothing from me but he tried hard xD

    I then followed him for like 3 mins doing nothing else, just follow him, hoping he gets paranoid haha.

    Well if you want to help, then help. But if it is an OBJ where only 1 person may claim it, then you should let the person who was there first claim it

    I'll throw a few hits but NEVER inflict so much damage I potentially steal a kill that could count towards one of their objectives ...of course on the reverse I would never turn down help from others even if it cost me a few objective kills.

    Should. A tricky word. Who died and made you boss? Where is it in the rules that says we should apply some real world moral imperative to this game? As in any group mechanic there are good and bad, saints and sinners, the just and the asinine. But don't try to impose your moral compass bearings on me. Don't.

    That being said, there are more times than I care to count that my main DC has been whittling down the 25 + 25 WoD weekly critters only to have some a$$face TR come and wipe the whole mob with one button press and wander off probably thinking he did me a favor.

    One painfully obvious fact you may come to realize is that the idiots running rampage through the world are for the most part woefully oblivious to the pain and inconvenience they leave in their slime trail. The rest are sociopaths. It's a cold cold world out there and it's effects are painfully obvious in game.

    And while our moral bearings probably pretty much line up, as far as *should* goes, sod off!

    Given the way that threads are being closed due to flaming on the forum now, could that response not have been couched in a more civil manner, or is there a new objective quest of thread closure rates around that we don't know about? :)

    @ragamffn#8871 Are you really insulting me because I said people should not steal objectives? Really? But then go on to say that you get upset when people steal your objectives? You seem to be contradicting yourself, and seem to be completely confused.

    @opalsuns your member snuff~something literally just did this to me in Sharandar with the sick elves - I fought the group and he ran in at the last second to stand right on top of the elf to prevent me from finishing whilst he grabbed it. Deliberately blocked me so the only selectable thing was his name.

    There's a big difference between competitive spirit and being a **** and as he's running around with an Asylum tag he's not doing your guild's rep any favors.

    I'm not sure I understand people's complaint. If you hit a target once, you get credit for the kill, don't you? Whether you land the killing blow or not. I suppose it'd be lame if someone comes in, hits the target once, and then leaves to let you finish it off, but that doesn't seem to be what people are complaining about.

    Wow this is some serious <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> going on in here...anyways. It happens everyday, every minute all the time. Is it always intentional? Maybe on person has been fighting the mob while another person happens to bring another mob into it. Both players wipe the ads then both go for the objective. Just saying <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> happens.

    And really what's the worse that happens? You have to sit there for 1 whole minute or move to the next place that the objective will pop up at.
    It happens to all of us. Shrug it off and move on.

    for the people who comes in when you've agro a mob and they grab what they need and go, screw it, you've already been fighting them. Grab your piece/part and go.

    Don't worry, Asylum has a horrible reputation in-game if the chat is anything to go by. Always see people complaining about them.
