All this MQ flying around

[Lictor]

On live I went from few months before kunark - luclin on Veeshan server. Granted I was some noob high school kid but I don't remember MQ ever being sold. I went until the 50s on p99 just assuming MQ was something put in by a later expansion that was just included in the titanium package. It needs to be eliminated if people want that classic feel.

Well...IF we're making changes...Shared banks plz

They should've never introduced MQ. It wasn't an intended mechanic and has done more bad than good on this server. It had to be PUT IN specifically, so it is a waste of Dev time, since it has to be coded for every single quest, and for every new quest that is coded.

Another example of being too classic for your own good.

There are enough drops to make money off of in the game without selling MQ Epics and JBoots, and it would remove a lot of work from the Devs and GMs to get rid of MQ altogether

[Uuruk]

I can guarantee you anyone who farms MQs 7 days a week for months straight is a RMTer. Do the GMs care? Fuck no, they are busy seeing who engaged dragons 40 seconds early instead of people destroying the game.

Which camps are you talking about exactly?

Some of them are pretty stupid but others are okay.

The problem with this server isn't exactly people selling MQs, it's people getting their sole source of income from that MQ. That's when the people become really neckbeardy and don't let anyone come near their camp. Same deal for people who live in the crypt or Sev king or Tranix for weeks on end.

Get your drop then go do something else for a week. Nothing irks me more than seeing someone continually, day in and day out, monopolize a camp never leaving. This is why corpsing items is bad mmkay.

It's pretty clear some Velious quests will follow suit. I see a guy on the forums here already buying up stacks of Mnt Death Salts and Seahorse Scales. I guess he will be selling Ring 9 MQs? I'm sure someone will sell Shawl 3 MQs too. Do one or two, don't make a manufacturing line of the game which inevitably blocks people from doing the quest on their own.

Aren't you guilded with people who sit FD on ragefire EVERYDAY? But in their defense when ragefire isn't in window they're at begurgle or gimblox. You say you'll step out of the way for an untwinked person but if they're doing it for a MQ "fuck them" How bout a fuck yourself then, because you're doing it too?

huh.... somebody dropped their name tag... here u go.

humans will never be at peace. even virtually our greed and hubris destroys all goodness.

truly remarkable.

MQ's are NP. Putting level req's on epics would be an easy way to mitigate MQ camping as a viable RMT scheme.

Cease this endless conflict....

Eh to suggest it's a bug is a stretch.

It was just poorly thought out quest handling.

Something that was never ever changed on live. You can still get on 15 years later and MQ a Rogue Epic.

The only thing they did was change it so that when they started getting more sophisticated quests there were hidden flag checks starting in PoP.

To deviate from this would be ultimate CustomQuest.

That being said someone selling their 50th Epic MQ in a few months time is a problem. Let other people do their epics or a random few sell an epic MQ. Don't be a Calabee. We all know how that ends up (you have to be Canadian and French :/.)

It is a bug. Unintended consequences are bugs. Changing it in its current context required a overhaul of the quest system, so Sony left it and just decided not to provide support for it.

That's why current quests on Live are mostly tasks or designed so that MQ'ing is impossible. For example, none of the Epic 2.0's can be MQ'd.
