Can anything be done about multiquesting?

[renordw]

I've had this conversation before with some of my friends here, but I realize that the sentiment may be more widespread than I originally thought.

Multiquesting makes things less available to less established players, and encourages RMT.

I welcome any discussion.

Yes sir. I'm strangely ok with this.

So is getting banned for it.

If something is less available to you because you are less established, establish yourself.

If you want welfare shit, go play World of Warcraft.


e: explain your logic behind the claim that MQing encourages RMT? How does it encourage RMT more than farming/selling tradable items? Hypothetical scenario: remove NO DROP tag from all MQable items: what has changed with regards to selling/buying/ability to complete quests?

I don't really play here much (20-30 min at a time), because I can't honestly give up my entire life to get an epic. I got pretty far, and realized the next tier of advancement would require more time than I can put in.

That's cool, man. Some people play casually, and some play hardcore. One of those groups are not going to get BiS gear, but it's still possible to enjoy EQ without it.

play on red server, epics require zero investment and are readily available.

Then what would banning MQ's change for you? What epic mob are you after that you could log on, kill, loot, and log off within 20-30 minutes? EQ is, and always will be, a time sink. Those of us who don't have 16 hours a day to play will rarely get the very top end items, same as it was back in the day.

White dragonscale for bard epic is droppable/tradeable, still sells for over 200k. On the other hand, a rogue can buy an entire epic MQ for less than 30k.

If anything it seems like a lot of people are able to get their epics solely because of MQ. Any shaman can farm seafury's 20-30 min at a time and save up money for a tear MQ for their epic, eventually. On the other hand, not every shaman could get the force together (especially in 20-30 minutes) to kill the golem's in Fear to get the tear themselves.

Most of us play p99 for a close to classic EQ experience, including the bullshit that was part of classic. Most of the forum posts, including this one, "I have this problem, so let's nerf this and that will fix it" would completely change the game.

That's one way to do it, but another way that actually makes lore sense would be to just make them NO DROP, period.
