Ninjas. Really.

There's nothing in the game that prevents it, nor should there be, FTR. Perfect example is the cannon ball gathering quest in the Fjord. There's maybe five of us spread out nicely fighting off the proto-drakes and what-not to clear out mobs around some of the cannon balls. All nice and civil, each pretty much standing on their chosen cannon ball. And some slimbag gnome mage runs in and grabs up the cannon balls while we're in combat.

So, several people called him out on it and there was much teasing and laughing at his expense. A few minutes later he's in general, qq'ing about being kicked from his quest group. Much more laughing and teasing ensues. Wish I'd asked for an invite. Sounds like a good group.

Hasn't really been much of a problem though. Bliz's respawn system seems to be working fairly well. I've never had to wait more than 30 seconds to a minute for pops, even with several dozen players in the area. In fact, at times they popped too fast! (Which was kinda fun, actually.) Okay, the turkeys don't spawn fast enough, but they're so much fun to kill... well...

There's plenty of idiots that will just "grab what ya need." No real consequences is awfully appealing sometimes. But there's a ton of nice and helpful players, as well. People that want to experience what Bliz has created, not just play a video game.

The rest... well... grab what ya want. And eventually you'll find yourself either a) playing with a bunch of other idiots, or b) finding your own balls and playing with yourself.
