This isnt RnF thanks

I really hate all the whining that people do over stupid shit like this. The only thing you should be allowed to complain about is 16 hours of fucking variance. Everything else is off limits.

Thank you for sharing. Please tell us more about your likes and dislikes. We are all dying to hear about them.

Though by your own admission you know you were flirting with the RNF line. The staff have seen these types of requests a ton in the past. I don't disagree with your stance, either.

The community might be more realistically served, since the staff probably won't change their stance on this, by knowing who the person who cheated you is.

To be fair, some people will quest their own epic, they just do it on L60_main_01 and then MQ it to L1_cleric_alt_05. I would think they have still earned the sense of achievement? I cannot say the same for those who purchase their epic.

Why is earning PP less reputable than doing a quest?

Often times, it is more time consuming (hours to plat ratio) but less social (you don't need to work with a guild/friends to get the parts done).

As someone who generally doesn't bother with ECmart as I feel it takes away a lot of the game...

I don't see how buying an MQ is so different to buying many other rare/sought after items... I assume part of the sense of accomplishment for these people (if they care about such a thing at all) is saving up vast sums of plat for these items?

I imagine there's less camp lawyering/maneuvering in epic quest hand-ins.

Or vice versa, accumulating vast sums of plat from selling these items. Thanks to no AAs, there's not much else to do in the end game besides raiding, farming, making money, and gearing up alts. Everquest, believe it or not, does not have very much content and your options of entertainment consist of A) kill it, B) kill it with a bunch of people, or C) you cast your fishing line.
