WoW: All your turtles belong to us
I got into trouble yesterday while soloing. I was playing my 42 druid in Tanaris, killing turtles. Along comes a 58 Hunter who starts to kill turtles as well. Truthfully, I thought it was a little rude. It was clear I was working these particular turtles for experience, but whatever, there are plenty of things to kill in Tanaris, I moved on.
I got a /whisper from the 58 hunter asking why I wasn’t looting my dead turtles. I explained I have plenty of cash and there was nothing a 42 turtle could drop that I need. His response was that, “others want their loot and skins.” I couldn’t think of any way to respond to that. How could I possibly let “others” have the loot? The only thing I could think of was to stop playing and let others play in my place. I told him I was camping so he, the 58 hunter, could have all the 42 turtles.
It’s been almost 24 hours since it happened and I still can’t think of any way to respond. Whatever, I came back later and played my Druid to 43, although I didn’t kill any damned turtles.

Yeah, I know what you mean, coming from playing a Troll Shaman who skinned everything I used to find people grinding on mobs that would have skins and at first it felt a bit like stealing, but then I thought about like the dead mobs were just like pieces of ore sitting there waiting to be looted…after all if someone walks away from a perfectly good skinnable animal who am I to argue?
But then again I never asked anyone to loot the bodies just for the purpose of me taking the hides…that is rude to me, I would tell him to shut his mouth and leave me alone…heh
