You have /petition options here . it's a harrasment and player gamer breaker and is reportable ..
( the continued "killstealing" of your quest mob that is )

First off you cant kill steal since no MOB belongs to any one player. There for it is not YOUR quest mob but simple a quest mob you need. There is call for reporting some one for monopolizing content. But you have to PROVE they did not let you have a shot at it IE you asked them more than once if you could have a shot at killing a mob because it was a quest issue. To the person who said couldnt soe try to prevent the farming. Well to be honest there is not rule against farming. There are plenty of honest players who farm to support there ingame plat needs. I farm regularly myself since i have a dayly cost of 5 to 6 plat in posions alone. Personaly i prefer to farm instances so i advoid the over zelous players reporting me to be a bot since i have 2 other accounts on AF the whole time i farm. BTW the char's i farm with are anon, are in my own alt guild so the guild is very low level and they all have very good kill to death ratio's b/c i farm easy stuff for body loot and masters. This fits the so called bot farmers yet i break no soe rules and i dont sell my plat. i was almost forced into instance farming due to steady reports against me yet not once was i ever asked if a group or player could have a shot at some mob. It was always some player role up see me camping a named or a group of mobs and they /report me for monopolizing content. Thank god the GM's actualy contact the player in question and dont instant ban!
