    This is something that has been discussed a lot recently. Everyone has their own opinion on the sort of game conduct that they expect, and not everyone can be right.

    While we encourage you to be considerate of others, in situations like this where you had no intent to harm the other user it's simply a dispute over
    something that neither of you own. Mats are first come first serve.

    Well said and I agree completely.

    I have several routes that I run depending on what mats I need at the time. I am quite good at timing it so I'm there almost to the second a mat re-spawns. There are times when a mob or two messes with the timing and I'm off, letting someone else get it ahead of Me.

    Ya know what? Big deal. I move on to the next. They'll re-spawn...the supply is endless. Other "greedy" people need to think about that. You'll get your timing again and recover the route.

    The mats don't "belong" to anyone except maybe in the case of farming it has been interrupted by catching aggro from a mob.

    lol i never used to fight for mats but then ppl started to pk me and sleep me and it seemed to work lol so now i do that too so now i sleep them or seal them =P i also have another secret to make sure i get the route =D

    u have to start a pk fight it dosent matter if they are higher lvl than u or if u die because by the time you die or kill them the mats are already out and when u go to town and you go to the mat it will already be there and the mats will start to spawn at your rate and not the other person well hope that helps it seems to work for me all the time xD and i know its kinda stupid to fight over mats but its the only way i make money since i dont use a credit card or pwi pre paid cards lol

    The other day I was traveling near Etherblade with one of my lower level alts and stopped to dig a sandstone mine. When I was almost done digging someone ran up to me and started yelling that I was stealing from the lower levels and that anyone higher level that took mines near the starting cities was a thief. To which I replied that if I needed low level mats, the obvious place to get them is in a low level area. This starting him ranting about how I was still a thief because some low level mats spawned in 30+ areas and that I should give the mat to him. I blacklisted him and moved on.

    But seriously... it was one mat. This guy is going to have a breakdown when he gets to the level where the mats he needs are constantly being farmed.

    this thread remembers from way back when i was 5x and questing or grinding around tusk town(no bh back then) and i toke a mid mat this girl start shouting at me it were her mat mines and that i should have waited with farming them cause she was nearly done with farming the mats then i said mats were free for all no matter what and she came up with all kinds off stupid arguments which i ignored since i dont see that i did do anything wrong
    its impossible to always do the right thing we all make mistakes i am not different from that
    just try to be a good person

    they wont do that. mats are for sale for real money also.

    That's exactly the point.

    Since the modification to the Bounty Hunter quests, the demand for these mats to make wines has increased exponentially. But the already minimal supply remains unchanged. Well, not completely unchanged...coincidentally, these mats just happen to be featured 'on sale' this week. b:cold

    Since there are actually people (I know its hard to believe, but its true) who have a real life and have jobs and familys to support and so on the incredible amount of time it takes now to gather these wine, crafting and US mats will change the amount of time they actually get to enjoy playing the game. Add to that the increased tension between everybody and his 10 cousins who are crawling the farm sites and it makes the alternative of buying the mats much more attractive.

    But I'm sorry, that's a bit absurd to me. PWI has increased the demand for these mats dramatically, the least they could do is increase the supply in an equal ratio in game. I don't mind pressing the "O" key now and then but everyday...just to play the game?

    Good grief, I'd rather y'all went pay to play, its getting too bloody expensive to play for free.

    Some factions have members that are nice enough to give free faction runs with mats that they farmed. The only way to counter this travesty of money grab is spirit of taking and giving. b:surrender

    I usually have no problem chain farming, I don't like to intrude on people's routes. If I see someone on a mat run, I go to a different route, or wait to farm later. Mutual respect world, you give others respect, and you'll get it back.

    I'd say it's more like:

    You: Excuse me, were you going to take that mat mine?
    Other: Ow wow, how polite. What a refreshing change. Thanks for asking. No I wasn't, feel free to take it.

    Meanwhile a 3rd person not privy to this conversation has come in and taken the mat.

    If people get crazy like that I just ignore them. You can always go a different way on that same farming path. Other people need to farm too so I can't get all upset if there's people farming the along the same path as me.

    if somebodys killing something right next to a mat spawn, you should ask them if they plan on digging it before you help yourself to it.

    and if you see someone en route to a mat that you only just noticed, and you decided to use holy path, or outrun them on a mount, that's a cheap trick.


    I completely agree with these 2 statements. If you kill the mobs guarding a mat you should get first crack at the mat. I have successfully killed the mat hunters by letting the mobs go while they are harving before, very satisfying :)

    Also, racing to a mat when you know someone else is almost there, just plain rude.

    Hmm, once I wanted to farm a mat but there were 2 monsters covering it. I started to attack the first one and just when I was finishing another person starts killing the second one. I collected the mat while the other person was fighting the other mob. I guess it was mine since I was there first.

    Obviously if I see someone killing a mob next to a mat I dont pick it up, but the general rule is:

    Just keep on farming.... its just something higher lvls do to intimidate inexperienced lower lvls into running away.

    I don't think you can have him banned for doing that... but I would honestly just keep on farming those mats and ignore him, hell maybe start a PM flame-war with him just to keep him occupied while you farm the mats.

    Mid-mats:
    Is it there? Yeah. (Okay. Actually most of the time, no, because they're farmed as hell, hehe)
    Do I need it? Yeah.
    Am I gonna grab it? HELL YEAH.

    Unless you're clearing a mob around to grab it yourself. Then go ahead, I'm not an ****. But if you do that to me, yeah, I might say something snarky in local chat.

    I used to farm on mat routes, from my 60's to my mid 80's. I've had routes taken over, but I just move either ahead, wait, or to another spot. I've never felt the need to PM people and tell 'em to GTFO my route... although when I'm tired or in an already bad mood and the same person is constantly after my butt (or on some distance anyways), yeah, I can react in an immature way. Happened about a week ago actually... but I did apologize. >_>;;; (I know, doesn't excuse the behavior...)

    It is considered greifing & exploiting. GMs already weighed in that using a mob to kill a player circumvents the normal allowed rules of PK, in that way it is exploiting the system. In addition, it costs them Experience, which is not a normal function of PK and as such is greifing/exploiting.
