Game Etiquette

Berathir made this post, which I'm reproducing here as a good basic game etiquette guide:

Common Courtesy

Just a few points I want to make that will go a long way towards making everyone's gameplay that much better.

1) If someone is fighting a monster close to a resource node (ore, branches, etc) take a second and ask them if they want the node before you rush up and start taking it. If you're in a hurry to find out, help them kill whatever they are killing.

2) if you need a particular named mob for a quest, odds are that other people in the same area do too. Rather than just running up and tagging it, fellow with the folks nearby. This only takes a couple of moments of communication and saves you all some time.

3) If someone sends you a quick tell "are you here to kill X?" Then *respond!* Don't stand there staring at them slackjawed. If you don't respond, don't expect any help from them when you fight it, and don't get upset if they tag it before you. You had your chance.

4) If a whole bunch of people are standing around waiting for a named mob, *definitely* do not run up and just tag it the moment it spawns. You were not the first one there, and you don't know how long they have been waiting for it.

5) If you have fellowed up and are waiting for a mob, don't ignore people that do come up and wait. You can't blame them if you never offer to include them in your fellow, or don't ask them to wait until your group is done.

6) if you are doing "kill 10 of x type of mobs" quests, and see others in the area doing the same, offer to fellow up. The wolves in the den in Chetwood are a prime example of this. You'll see 5-10 people competing for spawns separately, when they could easily team up and be done easily.
