I would hop, yes. Unless they seemed like they were having trouble or asked me to stay. It takes a lot more for a lower level to be doing stuff like that solo, and it would be downright rude and mean of me to crash them. It takes only a few minutes to get your kc back up, it will take them significantly longer to rebank, get kc up, and get to the same point on the boss. I guess the way that I look at it is this: my time is valuable. The time that I have I want to spend as efficiently as possible. But then, so do you. So what makes me more important? I'm not. But then, neither are you. Or him. Or her. Or it. We all have to find the moral line for ourselves, mine is not stealing from others. If I crash someone, especially at a boss, I have stolen from them. Time, pots, food, whatever. It's stealing. My ability to get something done just a bit faster by stealing from them doesn't justify the act. Plus I know how mad it makes me when someone does it to me :P And thank you for the welcome :)

I loathe spot stealers. It's not usually too bad with slayer tasks, since most spots can easily provide mobs for 2+ people. The area I most have issues with spot stealers is skilling. Especially on Iron Ore (just can't bring myself to mine Granite and throw it all away). In the last week I've mined a ton of iron, and it seems even on medium populated worlds in the middle of the night (EST), I get at least 3 people who feel they need to take my spot. Yes, I consider it mine. They would consider it theirs if they got there first. Just a few steps away is a spot which is decent, but they don't go there, they instead prefer to attempt to force me to leave. It doesn't happen often. Since most people with good mining levels are out throwing away granite, I find that I can, in most cases, outmine the spot stealers. On the rare occassion when someone higher comes along, or I'm laggy, I'll switch. Other than that, I'll take the 1 out of 5ish loss on the iron and drive you back to the hell you came from. The other place I see problems is when you are all alone in a multicombat slayer area (dags for example) and someone brings in a cannon. Unlike most people, I get all excited. I was here first and you are making a blatant attempt to steal the mobs I was killing. You have shown already that you do not care to provide other players with the basest of common courtesies. Therefore, you get none in return. I will happily move closer to your cannon and start melee'ing your mobs. I am not there for drops, I am there to finish my slayer task. Thank you for your help in this. :) I do not crash. Ever. Well, sometimes for just a second, until I realize that the other person there didn't show right away when I logged in. I will world hop until I find an empty world(or one that will easily support one more) or I go find something else to do. None of this three hops then crash stuff, as I follow the golden rule: do not crash others if you do not want to be crashed yourself. That said, I have decent stats, decent gear, and overloads. I will most likely defend my spot if someone else crashes me. Sorry for the ramble. I'm tired and this subject makes me rage.
