"Leave instance X so we can fit more HE farmers"

in General Discussion (PC)
While questing in Lonelywood, I saw someone post in Zone chat: "If you're questing in instance 9, switch instances so that we can fit more HE farmers." I didn't even bother checking my instance number. I simply kept on with my quests and then left for Bryn Shander.

On the one hand, I suppose there's no harm in asking people to leave. On the other, I'm not sure why anyone would obey.

    Just out of kindness, decency, respect, or any other virtues? I wouldn't leave either lol.

    People come and go - it's easy enough for a group to amoebize an instance anyway. My alliance did that in Lonelywood - basically you work it just like you can do in IP or DV. You party up, go to an instance, then break up the party and each person reforms and those people come, then wash-rinse-repeat until everyone's there. Not sure about Lonelywood, but I recall organizing massive oPvP wars in IP where we packed the place with just insane numbers of players. The FPS lag was awful, but the wars were pretty spectacular :)

    Basically, with HE farming groups - just keep inviting people into the instance using parties. Eventually, it will be locked down and solo folks won't be able to come to that instance.

    The lone soloist was most likley already in the instance when the HE locust swarm descended. So for the hoard to ask that one person to vacate just so they can rampage just long enough to devour the HEs and move on to the next instance, seems a little greedy.

    That applies to an interdependent society working together toward common shared goals.
    Members of a zerg do not give a HAMSTER about you or the quest you are finishing.

    Drop everything and burn 1 min of my limited game time so some stranger can have a zerg of 15 instead of 14?
    Nope.

    I don't even have zone chat open lol, but we normally do 1 quest in each area per day so we are only in the instance for a couple of mins.

    It's generally better for you to do your dailies in an HE zone as there is far less competition for NPCs, relic and fetch items. I would most likely not leave either. I would even probably leech HEs if my characters had a very low ilevel (they don't and that's fortunate). These runs are often organized by very selective farming channels, so it's hard to get in in the first place.

    I just ignore them. I think it's rude for people to ask others to leave. It's a public server. Any players have the right to play there.

    You do realize there are over 20 instances and it doesn't matter to the solo player which one they are in. Unfortunately due to game design, these instances are limited to 20 players. Folks that are farming HEs or WANT to farm HEs, want to get into a farm instance. You the solo player are blocking them.

    You can call them rude, but perhaps you are the one being rude. Kind of like standing in the middle of a cross walk blocking traffic under the premise pedestrians have the right of way. It's called common courtesy. If I'm doing quests and end up in a farm instance, I pop over to a different one. Been on both sides of this and it's really not a big deal to switch instances.

    A private instance can solve this problem easy.

    I wish there is a way to put 20 people ( or how many can fit in an instance) in queue group, set the queue group to private and select the zone we would like to go, pretty much like dungeons. I believe, instances get created depending on the load so when a 20 ppl queue get together for zerging in Lonelywood, it would take only a min to create a private Lonelywood instance for them and transfer everybody there. And voila! all the problems about "should you stay or should you go" will be solved.

    It's 40 I think, but yes zho, that's a great idea. Private "queue" for adventure zones.
