The Unoffically Offical Gate-Camping Thread - Page 2

People are free to do what they want in the warzone, limited only by the game design. But really, camping or not I don't see the need to get close to a save or a gate unless you're so desperate to kill someone. Some people avoid camping technically by making repeated runs at a save instead of standing around near a save when they know the victims are outnumbered and are unlikely to get any reinforcements (a usual scenario around Pinos save). Sure it's "legal", but like I said these people must be so desperate to kill or get some RP. It's hard to have much respect for these sort of people.

Okay, I picked other, because I guess I could go with "all of above".

Gate camping as standing by the gate specifically to wait for people to come through so you can kill them is pure assholery just as much as save camping is.

Ignis often decides to set up at Syrtis gate in groups of about 15-30. My realm lacks the attention span to get 20-30 people up to take them out, so inevitably we end up getting killed. Repeatedly.

I'd almost dare to call this a good strategy. It does work :/

On the other hand, you're setting up at the enemy gate, killing people as they come in / try to go out, basically for free rp.

Assholery!
