Liar Liar

[Sarayana]

I wouldn't call it griefing. That other hunter did nothing except not trust Allua. Probably he has had bad experiences with others in the Basin. (I recall those early Loque hunting days, SB was overrun with hunters, all out to get him...) I can't really blame him for not trusting another hunter. I think Allua took the perfect approach, offering to show him off as level 76 and unnamed. It helped the other hunters believe her and time his respawn.

I wasn't quoting Allua's post, was calling the other hunter who killed Krush mid tame, the griefer :c

My bad, I got the posts mixed up. You're right, he's an asshat.

I have, but only once.

I had a good reason though. This hunter was camping in the same places as I was, so I whisper them with a hello and any luck today, just trying to find something to do while I camped. It turned out they were camping Loque to kill him. I was a little upset, but knew that some people just don't care about taming rares. So I told them goodluck and all. I find King Krush a few hours later and during the tame the same hunter comes down and kills him right there, for no reason! The hunter then asked if I had seen loque lately... after some deep breaths I told them that he had spawned about an hour ago and they logged out. I wanted to feel bad for lying to them but killing Krush was just too much especially when they did not need the achievement.

Oh, that guy would have never heard the end of it from me. I would have:
/create new email
/create 10 day free trial account
/spam the crap out of the guy for the ten days
/repeat process if I get reported

But that's bjust because I hate people like that.

if you lie to others your not worth finding your mob

Nope never would.

When Sers hit 74 I immediately ran out to Grizzly Hills to try me luck at Arcturis and decided the dedicated camp approach might be the best way to go. So every night when I came home from work, I would log on my little hunter and camp for about twelve hours straight. The only person out there for the most part was a 76 Night Elf that would log in about every hour and kill me till I called in reinforcements.

Well Sunday, my day off, rolls around and I decide to put in about 18 hours that day. I was just sitting there, when an 80 hunter drops out of the sky and asks if I'm camping for Arcturis too. I tell him what's been up that day as a friendly run down and he sits right next to me to camp to. A few epic battles with the same Night Elf ("Damn, he want's you dead."), an 80 dwarf hunter ("LoL, he keeps running away! Get him!"), and his buds later the 80 tells me that his friend caught him at another spawn point on the other side of the map, and that he'll watch this one while I make a run to check that one. I let him know exactly what I've been doing the past few days and what I've heard of this "other" spawn point. He just laughs and tells me I've done my homework and that he kind of felt bad about trying to trick me after hearing all that. End of day no Arcturis, two exasperated Blood Elves with a lot of free honor, and about seven various Alliance with nothing to show for it.

I think that's about the only time someone has ever actively tried to trick me out of a rare. When I did get him I sent a letter to that hunter and, ironically, the Night Elf's horde toon (he logged on it after camping me for days to let me know that he was sorry he acted like a jerk) letting them know what the re-spawn timer was.

Nope, and the thought's never really crossed my mind.

Though, I'm also not one to spend hours at a time camping, either, and none of my hunters are a very high level.
