PSA: Please don’t interfere with Shushing Scholar
Guys, I just had to do the Shushing Light Scholar for today’s quest FOUR TIMES. Why did I have to do it four times? Because three of those four times, I was working on it, and someone tagging along (watching from outside the carry circle radius, thankfully) got impatient and decided “I can just fly it up to the next spirit spot!”. And promptly managed to drop the spirit into the abyss, forcing all of us to start over. The third time, I was about two steps from finishing the spirit. Literally, there was no reason for the piggyback pair to swoop in and try to take the spirit anywhere. I just needed to take a couple more steps forward, on completely solid ground. But no. They swooped in and out and the spirit fell again. I swear I saw red for a second, and I kind of wished we had an emote that lets us straight up pummel another player.
Please. If someone is already doing the spirit, just pop into the circle for a second so it registers you’re doing it, too, and back off. This is one of those spirits where too many cooks in the kitchen pulling the spirit around screws everybody. And trying to take shortcuts and failing screws everybody. I know it takes forever, I get wanting to speed it up. But you know what also takes forever? Having to restart it three more times because of people trying to take shortcuts.
