Last night we (Dark Prophecy) outpulled ForeverLover on Zipacna and beat it despite some casual (although belated) attempts at MPK.
An hour or two later, we get to Genbu and FL is already gathering on the island to kill Genbu. We drop back down to the main level (leaving one person up top so we know when it's ready for us). FL takes Genbu, we head up, they leave. One of their members (Crearie) is there, seemingly AFK, for whatever reason.
We have about 22 people, so a couple of the melee are planning on switching out. Someone new to the LS does their WS and promptly leaves the alliance with hate... things get screwy for a bit as we try to get hate back. This would be no biggie, except...
Crearie gets a Dia off on Genbu, then promptly CFH while he/she/it has claim. Then starts doing /emote laugh. Grrrr. Crearie wanders around briefly and makes some irritating emotes, eventually logs out. Logs back in later, then leaves. Begin marathon kiting session.
Long story short: an hour and a half later (time not exaggerated), our first GM call comes through shortly after we've completed our logout and back in to reset hate. It looks to me like someone ran within aggro range after they logged out and back in to redraw aggro, so we're not sure if we're going to be able to do this. We're down to 9 people at this point, as it's late and people are tired and/or angry.
While I'm conversing with the GM (Ekateria?), CFH comes off. Coincidence or not, I dunno. GM says he/she had nothing to do with and promises to investigate the matter. Crearie has logged off for good by this point, apparently. We end up killing Genbu (although it takes a lot longer than it should have with only 9 people) and getting decent drops (thank God).
Anyone else had this problem with FL and Crearie in particular? Secondly, I know GM's "don't do anything," but does anyone know of a situation where someone has logged out after performing grief tactics and been pulled into Mordion Gaul later?
I dunno, I guess I just don't understand the mindset. There's no conceivable way Crearie could have profitted from his/her escapades other than to grief. Stealing a claim that's killable is sure as hell rude, but at least there's some profit in it. Doing something just to fuck up someone else's day is ... wrong.
Don't mind me, just whining I guess.
