Strifewing genocide - why?

[Oakleafe]

Hello Wizards, hope you don't mind me posting here but I've tried asking the wizards involved in strifewing genocide and they seem to pre-occupied to answer. <img src="/smilies/c30b4198e0907b23b8246bdd52aa1c3c.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> I have a set of T7 writs I do which also allow me to harvest T7 materials.  One of these writs is killing Strifewing Ambushers, which I do on Strifewing Isle.  I consider it a rare occasion if I don't encounter a wizard who sucks up every strifewing in the vacinity and kills them.  The wizzie then moves to the next area and rinse & repeats. I've asked most wizards doing this: "Can we group please, I need the ambushers" "Do you need all of them, can I have a few please?  <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />" "Sorry to interrupt, but could you explain why you are killing all of them - is there a quest or is it an AA grind?" And questions along those lines.  I've never ever ever ever had a reply back.  In defense of some of the wizards, their guilds are non-English speaking so probably he didn't have a clue what I was saying.  Not all have that defense though as many are in English speaking guilds. Anyway, I thought if these individuals are too busy I might come and ask some of you more responsive finger wagglers if you could explain the attraction of strifewing and your class. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> Many thanks in anticipation of your explanation. <img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> [BTW, I'm not alluding to any bot'ing or anything else nefarious here - in fact the last wizzie was even being considerate enough to tidy up his corpses - I'm just trying to find an answer to this riddle that's been puzzling me]

the simple answer is what they are doin is one of the best ways to make plat.   body drops over the course ( or should I say work-day ) of the hours they spend there usually adds up well.  It's a tough life.

Thanks mate.  I was hoping that the answer would be different, but hey ho we all need in-game cash to smooth the gaming ride.

<p>In 99% of the times I have experienced this, they were gold farmers. Did they have namnes like Qebhgjkil ?</p><p>Id report them or run them off. I'm sure somepone is gonna as usual is gonna defend them; but the bottom line is the gold farmers are getting out of control and you just happen to be trying to get mobs in one of their favorite area's.</p>

Doesn't have to be a gold farmer, I hit aversion island and clean-house there for a few quick plat but if there's 2 or more people there I head to other islands.

I clear out those barren sky islands as if I was eating pie.. and I like pie.. alot.. I am a ranger who does this as quick or quicker than most wizards will do it, it happens alot.. However, its probably a bot playing that wizard. Most players know if your clearing something out at an insanely fast rate, and you get a tell for say ambushers because someone needs them for a quest.. You usually  make a deal with the situation on saying "ok but im turning on leader only loot because I need money to repair before raid" forinstance.. Someone who just ignores you is probably a bot <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />
