I think whenever a mounted player gets within 5 yards of a quest NPC, they should automatically be dismounted.

I always dismount out of courtesy, but yeah, most do not.

scrolling forward (to 1st person) > mount blocking NPC...

Nameplates > mount blocking NPC...

Using your head for something other than a hat-rack..priceless.

Not sure what the deal is with the hostile response? Haha.

I actually do that stuff already and work around these players. But it could be easier.

Pretty much every response is hostile or at minimum a smartass. I have him on /ignore

Easier than scrolling your mousewheel forward? Easier than clicking on a nameplate?

If it needs to be that easy, perhaps you should try something else...like PONG..

Notice Tep contributed nothing to the thread, while I offered solutions to the issue (again, for like, the 15th time this week on these boards)...

Yup you offered a solution, Gutter. Along with a large dose of smart assedness. And saying "people can't handle the truth" when they don't respond well to your smart ass replies is kinda lame. sad Was there really a need to talk down to him and pretty much call him stupid or are you just having a bad day?

I dunno, Jared..what do you call someone that cannot figure out how to work the mousewheel? "Genius" doesn't come to mind...


I call it like I see it.


As far as Tep's attempted bait and troll, I've seen better. Much better.

If players were dismounted around NPCs, then yes it would be easier than mouse scrolling and wandering into a horde of giant dragons trying to find the NPC. happy

And while I bow before your mad mouse scrolling skillz boi. I don't think making it easier to click on an NPC that is intentionally being squatted on by a bunch of players with massive mounts would be the downfall of the game. So I offer my humble suggestion as a solution. tongue

I already played Pong and beat it. Anything else Mr Internet Troll?

I can just imagine trying to navigate a capital city, if being around an NPC dismounted you.

The simpler solution is to learn the games (very simple) controls, but even that seems to be beyond some people's mental capacity..

The simplest solution would for people to stop being inconsiderate jerks (dismounting and other things). But hey that isn't happening anytime soon. happy

With the range being small enough, players wouldn't be dismounted unless they intended to approach that NPC. happy

Zoom (mousewheeel for most)

Nameplates (Shift v)

"Target Nearest Friend" (ctrl tab is default i believe)


All 3 of these are 100% viable solutions...not matter what anyone else is doing ingame.

Of course, some people would just rather whine, than figure things out. Some people would rather cry about someone elses actions, than learn how to simply nullify those same actions...an exercise that only requires one to open the keybindings tab, and actually read it.


Thus endeth the lesson.

Some people just like to vent occasionally about things that annoy them. Others like to talk down to people, insult their intelligence, and then try to excuse their rudeness by accusing them of not being able to handle the truth. confused

You are repeating yourself now. We already established there are workarounds. But why even bother with any of them? Why do players need to be mounted and standing ontop of a quest NPC? None really? I see no harm dismounting players that stand ontop of quest NPCs if we keep the radius small enough.

It isn't whining or crying. It's asking why things are the way they are and thinking of better ways to do them. You'd be picking your nose in a cave somewhere if people didn't ask themselves why things are the way they are and how to make them better. happy

I always dismount several "yards" back and walk up. Ditto with banks, mailboxes, etcetera. I really appreciate Blizz auto-dismounting people inside (business) buildings. (EQ2 did not and there were always griefers on their mounts parked on top of the NPCs both at the bank and the AH.)


In cases where somebody IS obscuring the NPC, they usually fail to notice that they can't totally cover the NPC, I target the feet or base of the mailbox. In case of multiple non-thinking/self-centered players, I use /target. If it's SO dang crowded that neither work, I really don't want to be there at that moment anyway. I head my toon out, or get up IRL to stretch/get some water.

And yes, it's incredibly annoying.

While you were picking your nose in the cave, I utilized 5 year old tools to get from A to B, invented the wheel, and started what would later become the industrial revolution.

They asked me who the guy was picking his nose in the cave...and I told them not to worry, you were wondering why the thing in your nose was the way it was...and how to make it "better".

So yah, sit there all frustrated at your NPC, wondering how to make it better, while the people with 65+ IQ's used the given targeting tools, got what they needed, and left 5 minutes ago.

Only on VN could you possibly get criticized for NOT arguing with someone. laugh


Sorry for not providing your daily dosage of VN drama, but I'm not at all interested in talking or debating with someone who gets off on being rude and arrogant to other posters.

Sometimes it might just be by accident. I did it yesterday... flew into the quest npc, cashed it in, then went afk for a couple of minutes. When I got back I had another guy who was furiously emoting at me and asking me to move. I didn't realize but I had completely covered up the quest NPC.

If there is some dude sitting down in the middle of the road blocking the way, I can very easily go around him. That doesn't make him any less of a dick for doing what he's doing and doesn't make my scorn any less justified.

I'm the Dude. So that's what you call me. You know, that or, uh, His Dudeness, or uh, Duder, or El Duderino if you're not into the whole brevity thing.

Only on VN could you possibly get criticized for NOT arguing with someone. laugh


Sorry for not providing your daily dosage of VN drama, but I'm not at all interested in talking or debating with someone who gets off on being rude and arrogant to other posters.



Now this is priceless. In this entire thread you have not once addressed the original post or stated anything on topic, all you have done is whine about how gutter posts and debated with him about it.


Yet you are not interested in talking or debating....


I see this quite a bit from the the hypocritical whiner types here, you whine off topic about what people post and further whine that they are posting off topic, then react in a rude manner to what you consider their rudeness.


Pure irony and comedy gold.

I'ved coined the name for this type of poster Spooky. Its called the Anti-Troll. They specialize in trolling trolls, and the amusing part is that they do not 'yet' know they are Trolls themselves. Quite entertaining.

Oh, sorry. Am I supposed to take anything Spooky says seriously? The same poster who is completely incapable of answering a direct question and, instead, has to resort to making some smart ass comment about the person asking the question? Sorry I missed that memo. Send it out again please?

Nope, you're doing just fine. You are suppose to respond to every single post Spooky makes but refer to him in the third person so it doesn't look like you are responding directly to him. Make sure to point out just how much he is trolling every time he doesn't so the rest of us know exactly what is going on and we don't become confused thinking his posts are serious. Don't ever change for anyone!

When I was little, my mom used to complain about my dad constantly, to his face. She would nag about him all the time, which would make him upset, he'd nag back, but she would just continue to push his buttons over and over and over again. Finally, he blew up and hit her. She came crying to her children about it in a frenzy. This would happen for years.

Eventually, the kids grew up. When it happened the last time, I told her to grow up, you reap what you sow, and if she would stop complaining about how horrible he is all the time, he might have a chance to grow up himself.

10 years later, they're the happiest couple I know.

Moral of the story: how do you expect things and people in your life to change, if you don't change yourself?

Every forum has its trolls. They're like the cousin no one really invited to the family reunion, but they show up anyway, and you get a good laugh out of them.

But they're still family.

hugs

Hey, what about those of us that aren't truly masters of WoW in that we don't have a mousewheel?

I've got a Logitech marble mouse -- the one that has two big buttons on the sides with a large red trackball/marble at the front middle. I've had it for years. Wife has the exact same thing on her computer -- it's what we're both used to using. What's the answer for someone like me? Go out and buy a different, programmable mouse? Learn to scroll? Quit WoW because I can't, or won't, change my preferred method of navigation? On Dec. 7th, I actually had to do the "target interact" command because there must have been over 500 people standing on the flight license NPC in Stormwind. Funny thing is, right after I purchased mine, I quickly left and didn't stand there like an asshat clogging up the place.

Bottom line is it's still incredibly rude to be standing at or on an NPC while still mounted on your huge mammoth or drake, and all but blocking access to the NPC. Yes, there are workarounds, but common courtesy far outweighs having to click, press, or scroll through a series of commands just to turn in a quest.

I got this one Gutter.

The fact that you use inferior equipment to play WoW doesn't excuse you for being a bad player. If not having a mouse wheel prevents you from clicking on these NPC's then you sir are not a 'master' of WoW. Furthermore mouse wheel was only one of the solutions given.

You can keybind zoom to whatever you want,

Mousewheel is the default.

And while I have never stated that camping on top of an NPC is NOT rude, (although I will state that it is just part of playing the game, especially the 1st week of an expansion) the point of this is that there are so many ways to get around this issue, if people would just use their heads for something besides a hat-rack.

You honestly had to come ask, "what if i don't have a mousewheel?" You honestly don't know that you can keybind zoom to anything you want? Seriously? Have you ever even opened the keybinding menu?

It makes me genuinely LAUGH that so many people have played this game for so long, yet they cannot use a keybind.


Don't stand in the fire? Forget that..these people can't even target an NPC...

Seriously, ignore them and move on. Trying to insert logic or reason into their path is going to make you dislike VN a lot.

Instead, try selective reading.

It's a sad thing, but there are handful of posters I completely ignore now. Since doing this, the boards became much more enjoyable.

Boone was spot-on with his earlier comments, in another thread, about our local trolls.

We can debate about it being 'anti-troll' or good manners in general, but that's not the point of the thread.

With that said, you can remove other player names to help target the NPC. Granted, it doesn't help when there's a huge, winged beast over the NPC, but people are people.

Finally, to the OP, I'm sorry you got treated so poorly on these boards. But, since you are a moderator . . . you have better options than we do.

And we'd love to see you use them. grin

Repost, since you obviously missed it...

guttersludge posted:


Zoom (mousewheeel for most)

Nameplates (Shift v)

"Target Nearest Friend" (ctrl tab is default i believe)




"Interact with Target"
"Interact With Mouseover"



All of these are 100% viable solutions...not matter what anyone else is doing ingame.

Of course, some people would just rather whine, than figure things out. Some people would rather cry about someone elses actions, than learn how to simply nullify those same actions...an exercise that only requires one to open the keybindings tab, and actually read it.


Thus endeth the lesson.


You have plenty of options to deal with a blocked NPC that do not include WHINING.

We would love to see you use them.

Another great example of the hypocritical whiner.


"Waaaaa I don't like what people post, waaaaaa I wish the mods would make people stop hurting my wittle feewlings, waaaaaaa I'll just make post after post announcing how I'm just ignoring people, then I'll keep posting how I'm ignoring them every time they post, cause yeah, that'll teach 'em and prove that I'm not reading their posts at all, no sir, I've got them on IGNORE buddy!"


That about sum it up?
