## Key points

- Mob tagging can prompt players to group up and socialise.
- Crowded areas make quest progress slower and more frustrating.
- The writer asks whether the mechanic still belongs in old-school MMOs.

## Summary

The article examines whether mob tagging, where only the first player or group to damage an enemy receives kill credit, belongs in old-school MMOs. The writer argues it can encourage players to team up and talk to strangers, making questing more social.

But tagging can also frustrate players, especially in a newly launched, crowded game such as WoW: Forever. It is most troublesome when many players compete for scattered enemies or item drops that grouping does not help with; the writer asks whether the mechanic is worth keeping.
