A word about "rep-stealing"...

[Sven Osymthe]

I think Dan_OB summed that up. If someone went through the trouble of going to a quiet area, other players should respect that, and go to another area themselves (or at least ask if they could join). If you're on a busy server though (which the rep "obsessed" people here more then likely were not), the rep stealing conversation doesn't belong.

I just wanted to add, just because this is a multiplayer game, that doesn't mean people are required to play together. An MMO pretty much means there are a lot of players in the game, it doesn't restrict them to certain playing styles. Saying that rep stealing is okay simply because this is a multiplayer game is pretty much saying it's okay for my level 50 pirate to kill everything in a crowded Fort Charles. That's not really considerate to other players.

On top of what's already said, other than rep, what other reason is there for someone to jump in on another player's fighting? If they want a quest done quicker, they could easily go to a busy server. Same deal with loot. As for rep, they can clearly earn more solo. Oh well.

This really relates to the "Are people getting ruder?" thread. There is a person behind every pirate, and each and every one of them deserves respect. Players should respect each others playing styles, as well as refrain from rude behavior to others.
