Well past 20, ladies, don't worry.
Adding up all of your character's levels doesn't count.

Where the fuck are you getting these statistics?

There's thousands of players on this server that you've never even talked to. I'm one of them.

So, hi. Nice to meet you. Stop trying to administrate my gaming experience.
My ass is very accurate. You can trust numbers I pull from it. Your desire for plat does not trump the playing experience of most of the server.

You're talking about two small very changes to specific imbalancing things versus a change altering a core game mechanic (mq'ing). Again I will state what I did originally, the goal is to be as classic as possible. Will there be occasions where changes are needed? Of course, you stated two of those such occasions. I'm sure there will be others. This, no matter how much it sucks you can't get your loot, is not a game inbalancing thing that requires a change.

Yeah variance is definitely a very small and minor change, pretty much unnoticeable, doesn't change anything about the raid scene.

BTW, how do you go from..

Your ass has been nowhere to be found when I've MQ'd probably a dozen items.

Never sold a single one.

Your ass just got saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaacked, lowbie.

OK. What the fuck is an MQ and what is MQing? Sounds like everyone is complaning that people are selling epics? I thought epic weapons were no trade. I don't understand this game.
MQ'ing involves a quest being completed from more than one person doing the turn-ins with a given NPC.

Example - Kizzy Mintop in the halfling town wants 30 gold pieces and 3 honeycombs and then she'll give you a Honey Jum. Extreme Noob Enchanter A turns in 3 honeycombs and 3 plat, which fails the quest. Burning with shame, they walk off because they think it's broken. Canny Pro Enchanter B walks up to Kizzy and hands in just 30 gold first, and gets the Honey Jum. The quest was "primed" by the first turn in, with the honeycombs held in limbo until the proper 30 gold pieces is given to her.

Using classic as an excuse to keep flaws that fulfill your greed while screwing others out of a fun time is not a valid argument.
If I were one of the cool kids on the forums who collected quotes as signatures, this would be mine.

Thanks for the explanation! I had no idea you could turn things in piecemeal like that. So basically people meet up at an NPC, and someone pays someone else to hand in half of the quest junk?

With only a couple quests being MQable in classic, MQing here isn't classic.

Each quest that is MQable on P99 has been made to be intentionally and deliberately.(nilbog has to code the ability for each quest)

The robe of the lost circle isn't MQable and it should be, along with a shitload more quests.

If anything, there needs to be more quests made to be MQable.

Being able to MQ isn't the problem, its people farming this shit to sell that is a problem.
There is nothing wrong with a guild selling epic pieces from raid mobs, since they are killing, for example, Venril Sathir for different reasons. Those who sell Demon Fang loot rights are the definition of the problem, although it isn't affecting anyone much.

The above is a hypocritical statement when it comes to Ragefire and has and always will be a problem epic.

If any change were to come from epic drops/farmage, I wish there could be a way to spawn these raid mobs that solely drop epic pieces, like venril sathir with a part of the epic quest chains. Due to classic propaganda, this will never be done since we have to work off of sony's short-sighted implementations, deal with it.
