An open letter to GM staff regarding MQs

[Cecily]

11 variations of the same bad mini-game. You do it because it sucks, knowing that a tiny fraction of people have the drive to deal with that much suck. 228 tailor taking orders in Velious, lol.

If these transactions are problematic, simply require a third party to be a disinterested party in case of any beefs, and who also would be willing to vouch for the buyer/seller, ie, willing to take a ban and/or reimbursement if scammery is afoot.

So each party may require a "second," as in dueling. The second would have to be someone willing to put their own ass/bank on the /log for the transacting party.

Any reputable trader and mq'er should have zero difficulty obtaining such a second, and I am sure by the time an account is thinking of buying a mq, they should have someone trustworthy and accountable too.

This would allow for very easy csr, since the second is agreeing to be the "account of record" as it were, and so has already agreed up front to bear any penalties should something go awry.

Naturally, the second, being in such a clearly delicate position, should get a modest fee for this service rendered, a percentage of the total transaction, say, 20% per transaction total, from each party. Vouchin' ain't easy.

I see nothing wrong with epic MQing if you want to do the quest you are still welcome to do it.

It's fine until you're trying to get a part of your rogue epic done and there's tunnel fat cats trying to cash in ahead of you.

I completely agree with the OP. Just wanted to put it out there for the staff to see.

You're welcome, I guess? I wasn't meaning to judge, I've just found lots of games in the last 15 years that I have played and enjoyed, and I think many of them have been better than EQ; they've just come and gone. I'm sorry you haven't found any.

And not necessarily hit cap, quit, and move on, but at the point where you are like, "I have explored all the content over and over and am trying to find ways to make playing this game interesting," I don't know why you stay. In your case, apparently this is because you don't like any other games made in the past 15 years, and that is, to me, sad. So sorry if you feel judged. Your life is your life, do with it what you will.
