Biggest waste of time on EQ

[Maurk]

well what the hell, why not..

So what was the biggest waste of time, without any gain you have experienced in EQ?

recently on p1999, at level 15, I spent 7 hours trying to loot amstaff scroll (ghoulbane quest) from crazed goblins in Highkeep (asking every group if i could loot.) They apparently don't exist yet, when I figured this out, I decided to walk back to freeport, got lost in highpass, and died twice from friggon gnolls.

never got a port from Freeport to North Karanas, so I walked all the way back both times.. i gained absolutely nothing except laughter from my bro :[

share your horrible stories!

Pretty sure everyone is going to say AFK camping.

[Maurk]

well i wasn't afk
meaning i was actively playing. >.<
the groups there let me practice my archery and hand to hand while i waited.
im now a paladin with 60 to hand to hand.

I've sat in EC showing off how cool I look for 3-4 hours trying to find something to do. Totally not a waste of time though.

I see you standing around the EC tunnel quite often..!

Time to ignore Bullet's other troll account since his other one got banned.

trying to spawn bilge for 3 days. 10 hours a day. Before he was implemented on the server.

[Kinamur1999]

definitely sitting around ec doing nothing most of the time

Das bullet!!

trying to spawn bilge for 3 days. 12 hours a day. Before he was implemented on the server.

Damn dude... that's a virtual kick in the balls if such a thing exists. :(

I always felt that end game raiding was a waste of time. Once you have all the crap you could ever want... What then? *yawn*

I always thought making friends and enemies along the journey to 50 was a lot more rewarding and fun than sitting in one spot for 12 hours on a day off from work just to loot some item that increases your INT by 2.

Yeah, I think I roeshambo'd some people by saying it was fixed when it was still broken =(.

Aha! I do recall when this happened. Why do you hate us so much? :p

(Just playing man!)

[Aeolwind]

My biggest waste of time was probably that stupid spider quest in steamfont only to find out it wasn't classic lol. Breaking that which you wrought...suuuuuuuucks. Especially when it took you 3 days to get it right lol.

It saves time. Hate everyone in advance of them actually giving you a reason to hate them. =)

[guineapig]

Then my sig is justified :D

[Shannacore]

I haven't been playing much lately, but when I am on I'm usually being a slave to the EC tunnel as well. I could probably run circles/buff noobs for a realllllllyyyyy looong tiiiimeee.

Trying to do the Grim's Tiger Revenge quest before it was implemented.

Also, leveling poison making... it's such a worthless skill at this point in the game.

live in 1999 (my very first eq character)- running (without SoW) a lvl 13 ranger from Qeynos Hills to West Commonlands. I zoned in and was owned by an HG that someone trained to Kithicor. I rage-quit for about 2 weeks, long enough for my corpse to decay, then rerolled.

[Aarone]

MM is a waste of time. Also, the loot generally sucks.

Sure, it's from another thread entirely, but, while we're on the subject... ;)

[Savok]

Not really a waste of time but at lvl 19 I have spent more time in game on the UI than actually playing..

[Stickyfingers]

Most recently, I was waiting for Gynok Moltor to spawn for 8 hours, he never spawned, and at the end of the 8 hours, I came to that realization that I could have been farming and made enough to buy the damn paw.

I'm simply going to go with this, since it's sickeningly true, and there's no way in hell I could remember all the crap I've wasted time on in game.

Although killing THO every 2.5 days for 4 months only to discover that Marvelous Visions doesn't stack with any STA buffs seems to surface in my memories awfully fast...

[Yinaltin]

doing the cargo clockwork - highway protection mask quest . raising faction like a nerd to finally being able to turn in the heads . just to see that the devs got rid off the quest ! ! ! gnah !

[guineapig]

Biggest waste of time is EQ

Fixed!

Let's all be honest here, shall we?

Still love this stupid waste of a time though :o
