I dont really rant but this just plane got me mad

Their i was happily kiting in PoN had my own little spot near the werewolves, a group happily taking the wolves, i wander over and ask if they are taking the other mobs they tell me they are all yours, great i think snagged a fresh C4 from a guildie so off i run happily taking 4 mobs occasionally 5 when they rudely wander over to die.

half way through my 5th kite i get a tell ' can you not run here please where camping this area' so i think oki that must have been the wolves group so i move a bit over, i must have been going too close to them and they were worried i might train them, then i get another tell 'will you move please we are camping here' so i killed my kite and looked around wasnt the wolves group that the tell came from, i see people on the hill oh and theirs the one who asked me to move, so i walk up to them and kindly reply, i have been kiting here for an hour, i suggest you find another spot as this is taken' useuall abuse comes back at me like where gonna ks you n call a gm, at this point i exploded, i was actually embarassed at the verbal bashing i gave them as i am not useually like that, needles to say they moved on with the useuall 'your reps gonan be destoryed' sure sure fact was i was their first you cant do jack.

The nerves of some people are beyond belief some times. A big open zone they decide they want to take my kite spot, i dont think so. They couldnt have ksed me if they had tried bunch of idiots. Thing that really is starting to ruffle my leaves is this is the 2nd time it has happened, the first time they said sorry and asked for a tell when i was leaving so they could take the camp.

The number of times that groups have been trained by lousy kiters is why they asked you to move. For every good kiter, there are about 3-4 who can't control their kites, get adds, and inevitably train groups resulting in wipes that clerics like I have to contend with in the graveyards. This is why they asked you to move, even though you were there first.

I recommend charm-kiting in PoN anyway, easier on mana, less dangerous to people around you, and from what I've heard, better xp. I duoed once with a druid who was charm kiting (I healed the charmed pet) and we were raking in the xp at an insane rate! Not only that, but with zero downtime except for when the druid had to find new mobs for us to kill!
