I don't ever post but I've been playing on P99 for a little while and i wanted to weigh in and say that I like this change. Can't wait for it to be implemented.

Specifically, why?

Excellent. Anything to make this game harder. Suffering is the path to righteousness.

My reason, though it may be different than the other poster's, is because I hate lfg for an hour waiting for a spot to open only to have some other twink rogue enter the zone and "/ooc 30 epic rogue lfg" suddenly I am chopped liver. One night it happened to me three times until I gave up and logged. Yes I realize maybe it's not exactly classic, but sometimes you have to do what is right. On live I remember the classic days and you just didn't have the knowledge that's around now, or the 4years of pre velious gear piling up on everyone's alts or the craziness of MQing epics for plat ( yes maybe a few times it happened) but not like here. I applaud them for trying to curb this, albeit a bit too late now but live and learn, maybe one day they will start a fresh server with everything they learned over the years.

So you know its not classic, you dont care its not classic, but because of your subjective experience, everyone else should suffer? Also the 5 others in the group dont seem to be upset with an epic rogue.

So again, I want to point out, this is a rogue problem. Not an Epic MQ issue, etc. Cleric epics sub 50 hurt no one, shaman same and monk?

5/6 happy, 1/6 unhappy. Make the 1/6 happy! /ooc twinked non-epic rogue lfg, still better than non-twinked rogue...

Shrug. Just want to be clear. Sounds like a twink problem, not an epic problem.

Edit - also want to point out, twink groups > casual groups - always for exp. This was true on live and it is true here.

Makes sense that epics are to be had at higher levels only. It is what they were put in the game for.

Same with fungi tunics and Tstaves and any other item that comes from a zone of mobs > 46 no?

They were not designed to twink your non-lv 46s. Lets make all items from higher level zones unwearable for the same reason.

Update every item level to the level of the mob that drops it and make that the hard requirement. If we are gonna fix twinking, lets do it right and completely.

Yeah, I'd be okay with that too. Been playing for awhile and I have yet to accumulate even 1k. I'll never have a fungi or an epic at a low level. It would be nice to know I'm on the same playing field with those around my level. Its hard to find a group as a level 20 monk. Gotta think it doesn't help me when people inspect me and see me wearing weak armor.

Well there's your first problem, your main is a monk. You went extreme hard mode for your first char since weight is a problem.

I am glad we are catering to the complete casual instead of the long term players that have managed to make 30k and can afford to buy a ragebringer for their lv 1 rogue.

Great plan.

You know what would solve the rogue problem. Damage caps by level on backstab. They already do that for all melee weapons and if it did that for backstabs, no one would care.

Oh I'm sorry, didn't realize I had to run my choice for a main by the community first. Didn't realize that would disqualify any future opinions I had on server updates. My bad.

Circling back to my original comment, I'm glad this change is coming and I am thankful for having a server like this to take me back to my fond memories of high school gaming.
