Hunting Etiquette

I just wanted to point something that may not have been addressed before, but if it has. I'm curious of its results... Anyway, as you can tell by the subject that I'd like to talk about hunting in Achaea.

Today, and many times in the past. I've been hunting goblins, spiders, and all those things in the mines. After I or some others have disposed of them. Most of us stick around to wait for them to pop up again. This ritual if you'd like to call it takes a very long time. Sometimes what almost seems like an hour just for these scum of the earth to repop. So when we do find a mob of these fellows, and prepare to attack. Someone from outta nowhere jumps without even a "Hello" and attacks.

As if waiting for an eternity for a group of experience full NPCs isn't bad enough, we need to watch in dismay as our "reserved" batch to be "stolen" from that someone! And when you finally tell them whats up, they have the audacity to shrug, curse, or just plain ignore you! I mean, some actually apologize even ask if you'd like to join their group to hunt bigger things for more exp. But most just continue on like your existence is worthless.

So what I'd like to do is list a couple "ideas" that most of us should know and probably are following by now:
1. If you see someone already in a room with a group of NPCs attacking them or not, ASK before you attack! Sarapis only knows if they've been there for hours waiting for that batch to repop! Don't make all that waiting worthless!
2.
2. Crap, I hate messing up like this. Anyways, 2nd, if you had accidently attacked "their" mob, APOLOGIZE at least. It maybe someone weaker than you or stronger than you, but come on. Show some compassion, that weaker may grow up and never forget the arrogance you showed him/her.
Lastly, this maybe be Achaea. A land where chaos and order lives in harmony, but please display some common sense. Please be polite to everyone, you might make more allies that way...
