Odd thing toniteFollow

Hey I'm just wondering what you guys would have thought about this:

I was in West Karana trying to get my grubs on some pumpkin flesh. I'd been there about 30 mins or so, it was almost 2am so the zone was sparse. Then TOON zoned in. He's in zone for 5 mins or so prolly. Then he says in /ooc "hey you &%^&%$ farmers, get out of here so those that are really doing the quest can loot".

So, I did a /who and there were 5 of us in zone. Someone else says in /ooc "We are doing the quest". The TOON starts getting angry, shouting and saying that no one ever helps each other and we're all just greedy farmers. The other guy says, "I'm helping my friend and we're almost done." The TOON says, "yeah right - why can't your friend do it themself? You're just a farmer, no one ever helped me with anything!"

Well I met this guy about a month ago. He's level 65 now, but I helped him back when he was in his 40s kill some Wurms in Great Divide for a spell that drops there, I was working on the Shawl quest at the time so we worked together. Only I'm playing my druid not my pally tonite so he doesn't really know me.

Anyway, I sent him a /tell and said "dude, most are working on the quest here and how can you say no one has ever helped you - did you forget about Great Divide already?"

To which he replies I don't know him. This was his friends account and he gave it to him. That's cool, I figure he doesn't know my toon name. So I let it go. A few minutes later he sends a tell to my pally and says "I'm a good player man - I just hate farmers. My friend just gave me this account when he hit 65."

I didn't respond to him. But I thought it was really odd that he would send a tell to my pally who's afk in baz when if he wasn't the same guy he wouldn't even know who my main is, right?

Nothing wrong with farmers. You have to farm sometimes.

Farmers who are high level and hog every mob, sure. When I farm I make sure I am not running over joelevel20 who is getting xp.

Sounds like this guy has some skewed notions.

It's like complaining that hill giants are being taken by loads of lvl 70's

I enjoyed the irony of someone ******** about you farming while you are in the farmer's field in WK.

Just curious but your on Povar aren't you? I was in WK last night around 2ish and some guy was screaming about people farming the scarecrows. The funny thing is that, as you said, their were only a few people in zone. I was on the complete opposite end of the zone killing at the undead camp getting the drop for my armor book and another one of the people in zone was fairly close because I had seen him once or twice by my camp.

IIRC everyone in the zone was 60+ and I think they could find some place a little better to farm than scarecrows in WK.

Haha, well I suppose it is odd for that many high level players to be in Karana. It's part of the Halloween tasks that we were working on. Need to collect pumpkin flesh from the animated scarecrows. I'm on Prexus and the flesh does sell in baz between 4-9k typically. It's the worst part of the Halloween tasks but well worth the effort.

It results in a very nice item - Bone Mask of Horror but the quest brings out the bad side of people!

I believe it's happening on every server. The pumpkin flesh should've been no drop. Selling it for 4 - 9k is just plain greedy.
