They have flying mounts boughts from gold bringing from classic. Now normal (starting from 0) people runing on ground mount and start dig but those ordinary thiefs land from air and start dig ores which is already digged by people !! They can steal 1-3 ores from node from guy who find first and dig !!
I dont talk about opposite fraction - its possible fight for ore ofc. But OUR fraction in mmorpg are biggest enemy, ironically. Because in WOW not pk allowed so many thiefs exists.
I see 2 ways to repair that unfair and remove thieft from game:
1 ore node = 1 diging = very simple and fair. Who found first he/she dig once and have all (few) ores and motes/stone
or
just put timer on node 1 minute first person who start dig have 1 minute time to dig all ores and nobody other allow to dig.
Those insolence scumbags tells : “its open world” but this is permit to be thief in game ? and maybe in real life too because real life is “open world” too ?
Sorry, would you mind showing me where it says “Property of {PLAYERNAME}” on any ore deposits?
Or would you mind showing me the official ruling by Blizzard where it says “He who arrives first at a farming-node. owns the node?”
Because, if neither exists, there is no stealing.
In contrast to the above, in RL it actually does say, in writing, that things I own are my property, and taking them against my will is stealing.
Besides, when someone arrives at a node first and starts digging, he can easily prevent everyone else from digging there as well, regardless of faction.
I don’t expect a change, so some thoughts that might help.
Being high level, having strong gear (to clear away guardians) and the flying mount are investments. They are tools to improve your farming.
Focus on easier activities until you have the tools to be competitive.
I thought this was common knowledge but when mining an ore you can just stay in the loot window without taking the ore. They cant mine from it while youre there.
I never compete against same faction who found it first and it’s really annoying when someone from same faction tries to, “you gotta fight to survive in this world”, kind of bull!@#$.
Here’s what you can do:
1- If you only right click the node without holding shift OR if you had already pressed shift but someone came and is trying to compete against you for the node you can right click it again without shift to stop auto loot and keep the loot menu open, while the loot menu is open no one can loot it until you finish your turn (by looting it), that way just keep the menu open until they get bored and leave
2- If there’s a mob nearby the node and you’re killing for it do not use your stun unless someone comes as you fight the mob, and it must be a stun as most of other CC’s break from damage they can just melee the mob and break your CC and loot it.
3- If you’re a rogue same thing as above but you have vanish in worst cases you just pop it and the mob will aggro the greedy turd that’s trying to steal from you
I had 0g in classic and had enough for normal flying + epic flying when I hit 70. Let me guess, you were doing nothing but dungeon farming from 60-70 and now you’re crying because it was a terrible decision. Am I right?
I totaly agree on this. When im out mining and se a nod and some1 is fighting next to it i leave it. And Just go find next vein. I know there is no written rules or any. But the unwritten rules from back in the days stay with me still. Tho i think those who steals and such in mmo in general are like that in real life. Low sosial skills, negative, me me me and then more to me people. If you are a nice person in real life, its reflects over to your behavier in a mmo.
Ahh, patch 3.0.8 changed mining to reflect how herbs are gathered.
quote from the notes:
Mining veins and deposits no longer require multiple hits to receive all the ore. Players will receive around the same amount of ore, stone, and gems they would have received from multiple hits.
No. No. And No. It was like this back in the day it’s like this now. Get over it. No personal nodes, no one hit get all the ore or any of that. Enough with the retail imports. They are not “stealing” the ore they have an advantage over you that they earned and it’s an MMO. No one owes you anything except a functional game free of hackers.
What next? If someone starts late you will advocate for them to get a full set of T6 gear so they can raid with the rest? Or maybe give out free epic flaying to anyone that logs in for 1h a day because they can’t farm the gold for it?
It’s that exact same entitles, lazy and arrogant attitude that turned retail into a glorified mobile game. If you don’t like this version of the game don’t play it.
I like to believe that it’s funnier to leave a mote of earth as only item left on the fourth click so someone wastes atleast 10 seconds mining that “ore”
I started tbc with 200g to my name and I’ve already made enough money with mining to buy epic flying twice. Stop the qq, play the game, get money & buy flying
