Aside from EQs, I haven't tried public multiparty for a long while until today.
A short time into a free exploration, I encountered and announced a rare code, then waited for other players to arrive so that they could benefit from it.
During the code, I got caught in a trap explosion and died, from full health.
The single person who showed up just ignored me, finished the code, and then left.
Going by their English-named ID, team name, and English-named friend partners, I assume it was an international player and not Japanese.
As far as I know, there were 3 parties present in the entire multiparty, including mine. All three parties consisted of 1 player and 2 bots.
In other words, I doubt they had run out of Moon Atomizers.
I'm not sure if the other person's party was present, because I couldn't move my camera while dead (thanks, SEGA).
What I'm wondering is if this is normal behavior that I should expect from random people in multiparties nowadays, because if it is, I'll know to disable multiparty next time.
I'd rather die and get sent back to the campship than give a random asshole a laugh at my unfortunate expense.
I mean, come on. Resurrecting is hardly difficult or expensive.
Not entirely related, but this also reminds me of a certain international player I've seen around here who did a laughing lobby action on me when I accidentally died during Elder.
I know they weren't trying to specifically grief me because nobody knows which characters I play. That means they must behave that way towards everybody.
Such delightful people out there.
Edit: I should make clear that I'm usually (but not always) revived fairly quickly in EQs.
My question is more about random quest multiparties and bumping into random people here and there.
