Pushing In Line

They say that money talks, but the only thing it ever said to me was 'good-bye.'
--Blake Clark

There's a lotta fun things I've done since I've been playing. I've done a lotta..um.. things that made me nervous. A couple times that made me vomit... (nerves..dont ask). But what I think is very odd is the whole idea of "this is my spawn." This is inevidible when it comes to monsters that only pop once every so often in random locations and anyone has a chance to claim it. However, many monsters are forced to pop by people who have the occasion, a spawn point, and the item to release the monster. Therefore, there is no question who gets the Notorious Item Dropper; the system wont even allow it to be stolen.

The spawn point does not ever dissapear. Most of them are 15 min wait between each pop. Nobody can use the pop unless they have the pop item. And yet people still camp the spawn point as if it was a monster to claim.

I think I'm in the minority here. But in sky, there is generally an idea that people will take proper turns to pop Genbu or Brandishing Blade. However, if this same system is introduced in the normal areas, like the Parade Gorget, suddenly.. people get crazy. Its not as if its a new thing. There's the NM in Ulg. Temple that drops the special thread that is popped. There are the many NM in the Crawler's Nest to pop with rollenberries. There are many occasions just like this; and people seem to be capable of maintaining civility. Yet in this case...

Maybe I'm overthinking again. But when it comes down to it, I've never wanted anything that badly. You will never see me pushing in line at the store, or fighting with someone over the last $20 DVD player. I just can't bring myself to do the same in the game. And I can't help but wonder if there isn't a better way.

In any event... I've got my five goblin drinks...and hopefully, I'll be able to get this darn toy. It will be very helpful for my CoP missions. In the mean time.. I'll stand back a bit.
