Anyone who's trained at fire giants in the Waterfall knows that when you first get there, it's best to range or mage at the spot by the door until the giants stop being agressive. However, since it's the only decent spot for anyone just arriving, it often tends to be crowded. I don't like to bother anyone, so I switch servers a couple times until I find an empty world. So I start ranging away, and before I know it someone walks through the door, right into my spot, and starts attacking giants. Fine. I can share. Two people can fit in that spot easily enough. However, less than two minutes have passed before a third person walks in (making sure to leave the door open so that the other guy and I get attacked by spiders) and starts maging right on top of this. I'm sure he knows perfectly well that three people really can't fit into that cramped spot, so I wait for a minute or two and then politely ask him to switch servers. But no, he said that if I was going to be a loser, I should be the one to switch, even though, as the second guy pointed out, I was there first.

I get this pretty much everywhere I go, no matter what I'm training at or, for that matter, what skill I'm training. I can't possibly be the only one who realizes nothing's going to be accomplished if there are seven people to three trees while cutting yews, or if there are two or three people with cannons at dagannoths. But I'm always the one who ends up moving, even when (and, it seems, especially when) I'm the first one there.

But I don't get it. Why doesn't anyone else ever switch? The time it takes to find a good world can easily be made up for with the much faster experience rate you'll get with an empty (or more empty) server. By switching you're benefiting yourself as well as others. So why be rude about it? Are people that lazy?

Do you think that people should be nice and switch servers when they start training at an overcrowded spot? Or do you think that if I don't appreciate the extra company I should just shut up and switch myself?

It's not even that I don't want to share. What I'm, for the most part, talking about is the situations where it's so overcrowded that nothing can be accomplished at all. And I'm not being rude either. I'm not ordering someone, at the very moment I see them, to change servers. I try to be polite. I try to explain where I'm coming from. However, my efforts are too often wasted on morons I don't have the patience to deal with.

I feel that way when i train on moss giants some time. 3 people is ok - one per person, once its more than that, the same thing happens and i end up switching worlds.

Meh, I never go to fg's, but at blues, I log until I find an empty server, and everyone else does the same. If anyone does try to steal my dragon, I just click faster and beat them.

It's annoying, bad mannered and I wouldn't do it myself but its not against the rules so nothing you can do about it.

Never really trained on fire giants at waterfall myself because I always found it too crowded.

Personally I liked the lvl 30 wildy green dragons, easy to escape from and if anyone tries to take your spot you can kill them .

Yes its bad mannered and rude and I wouldn't do it but it is the way of RuneScape. This is the main reason why I feel the 13 age limit should be more strict most ppl over 13 have learned a bit more respect then a 10 year old, although if you have this much of a problem as you stated you CAN just hop and gain more xp in the long run. This has happened since i was lvl 20 at the mining place in Varrok and I have learned to tolerate it. I feel its petty of you to come rant about something that's not going to train.

I can't remember a time when I haven’t had to deal with this. In fact its part of the reason I don’t play anymore, people on that game (a vast majority that is) couldn’t tell the difference between left and right. Let alone manage a little common courtesy, that’s just simply too much to ask. I say we track them all down, beat them inches from death and spit in there faces. Why?, what comes around goes around, be an ass, I can be one to.

1) Yep, same here.
2) I also agree. Much faster exp when I switch rather than trying to convince them to switch.
3) Yes. Faster and fewer headaches that way.
4) Same here. But no matter how polite you are, you still get the belligerent idiots who have no courtesy.
5) I don't have the patience either.

Now what I do, after countless times trying the exact same things you've tried, when someone comes into a spot I'm training in and it becomes obvious they're not moving, I just switch.

If you try to teach them courtesy or reason with them it becomes much like trying to teach a pig to sing...

It's frustrating for you and it annoys the pig.

I havent been there in forever, but I always like to treat people how I like to be treated <--- how lame

Whenever theres already people there i hop worlds until theres an open spot, it tends to work out good. I find that being nice to people gets me what i want a lot better than acting like a jackass.

Truthfully I know how you feel especially when I think I'm the only one there (yews this seems to happen alot) People just log on and chop away as if I don't exist if there are too many people I head to another tree and the tree I was at last gets used up and guess where everyone else goes? This also happens with experiments.

Cannons never tick me off. I just laugh at 'em.

At firegiants "Lol, go cannon go! Kill those rats!"

I can always grab a monster faster than a cannon. But the nice thing is ya, they do chase off a lot of other people. Just leaves me, the cannoner and one or two others.

It kinda depends on what time in the day and on which server you're on. Try to got to the less populated servers (Usually Amsterdam, Sydney, and Chicago are pretty deserted for me). And it kinda depends on what time you play. If you play at midnight, not too many people will be there.
