So I logged into shards today and noticed that I was in jail. Apparently, I have been jailed under the 'don't be an asshole rule' for something that well, isn't being an asshole.
Yesterday, I was tracking zone after zone trying to make some money, and found out the spider in Lasanth had spawned, a mob I had checked on the past few days. So what did I do? Loaded up my characters, tossed myself some buffs and headed out to snipe it. I ran in, invis'd up and engaged the mob. All the spiders around it were dead around it and a few people were in zone so I figured it had just spawned or either they weren't killing it / able to, as one of them was a beastlord named Daeeb definitely not capable of soloing this monster. So as I run in to attack in, a warrior named Alpharious runs in and intead of sending me tells, says stuff in my flooded combat / say chat while i'm killing something! He never once asked, "Hey, can I get this turn in?" And if he did it would have popped right on my screen in a tell window and we could have discussed this. Instead, after I leave, he petitions and stirs up the /ooc chat.
Now excuse my ignorance if I missed something here, but how exactly is killing a named for money "being an asshole"? Not once did I say ANYTHING rude or do any type of asshole moves, unless you want to call farming plat for tomes and my alt being an asshole. I have read the policy plaza thread regarding claims of content by both woldaff and allielyn ( sorry if i misspelled that, it's a strange name ) and have broken no rules!
So lets put all that aside for a second and look at the big picture here for a second.
Why is killng "vah mobs" (that happen to drop boe's that vendor well and possibly spells like Group Divine Benevolence) considered being an asshole under the policy plaza? This is ridiculous to jail someone for such a thing! Why are there not * versions of said assassination mobs if we just jail people for killing them before someone else? Either these * quest versions need to be added so things like this in the future do not happen, or, the policy plaza needs to be updated to something involving killing quest mobs before someone else being illegal.
I am sorry to the person I upset bad enough to get me jailed and make a forum post about, but I can assure you if you would have simply sent me a tell and asked me, "hey, can I get this turn in?" then I would have let you. I have helped so many people get vah assassinations and plane of earth salves on numerous toons and the one time I beat someone and they petition, I get jailed for 2 days.
Thank you to all who took time to read this, hopefully we will see a change in rules for quest mob claims / starred versions after this incident.
