I can't believe 61 people are voting yes to this. At 3AM when no one is at the camp, you definitely shouldn't be allowed to corpse an item. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

The rules are fair to those willing to sit out the camp and wait. Noone wants to wait. They want to bitch about the person who does.

I say making polls to try and croud source overturning staff decisions, should be a banable offense.

If noone buys the crowns from the person camping, then they will move on.

Make corpsing banable, then they just find ways to put crowns on other account. It wont fix the perceived problem.

Duh.

I have absolutely no issues waiting for a camp. My problem is with people rotating camps out with their friends/guildies for days on end.

I think you are looking at the problem through rainbow covered glasses because people who actually want to have a chance don't even get it due to the current system which is abused heavily.

Deru stated that whacky corpse lines can't be made. Yet people work whacky corpse lines and nothing can be done about it. So why is it even mentioned that it can't be done when in fact, it is done and nothing comes of it.

Players who do their corpsing at odd hours when no one else is around, fine.. I have no issues with those players. But what about those players who are doing it during peak hours and rotating out the spawns with their fellow guildies/friends via corpsing and adding themselves back to their list.

There are actually people like myself who give a shit and when we roll by and see that kind of thing happening we won't even bother wasting our time asking to be added to the list because 1) They will probably just ignore your messages about a list or being added to it 2) Won't even bother calling you when it would be your turn because lists don't even matter 'only the current camp holder has rights to say who is next'.

The majority of the servers loot/camp rules are vague, bent, and abused. I understand this is a free server and you can try and shove that down my throat all you want, or even ban me because I'm not bending to your mighty Dev powers but I'd like to think I'm one of the good people who likes to see new players continue to play and enjoy their experience here.

As for me, my experience was totally ruined when I got around level 50 and tried to experience money camps. Even if it is open there is always some ass-hole sitting/waiting/hiding for you to fuck up and be afk for 1 second too long because god forbid you have to take a shit during that 12 hour camp.

It's been mentioned to me that Devs don't even care if new players leave so clearly all sides will be taken with long time players who have control over anything they wish. Maybe I just don't belong on a server controlled by Hitler and his minions.

You don't need to, you could run to EC and transfer or sell it off and get back to keep camping it. If really no one is going to contest the camp from you in the time that you left and got back...

the best part about this poll is it doesn't matter

You can't tell me that if 80% or more of your entire playerbase want it gone you would still keep it... Seems kind of silly to keep it in place just because it was in the game 15 years ago.
this type of attitude is why new games are a bunch of hand holding lowest common denominator bulls**t

The problem with that is if corpsing is allowed at all it is always going to be abused by people and ruin the experience for others. I personally have no issue with corpsing when no one else is anywhere to be found. But that's not how its been going down recently. People have been corpsing items during peak hours to maintain a solid position in a "line".

Even if peak hour corpsing was enforced to where people could not corpse an item and then be put back on a friend/guild controlled list for 6 hours or something I would be fine with that.

It's just too easy to abuse the current system and nothing seems to be enforced unless it involves RMT or FTE on raid mobs.

Wow! Step back a second bro! You're getting all hot over a 15 year old game. I understand the frustration, but just stop and cool off for a bit. If you can't deal with the current system in place then just come on over to Red where you can take any camp you want as lo g as you win in pvp. Just a thought. An added bonus would be that you would have an outlet for your obvious rage issues. It could be cathartic.

I can get behind this under two conditions.

1. Sky Quests are MQable (classic).
2. Camping out in sky deletes your keys as well (not exactly classic).

#1 is necessary so that you can MQ pieces to those who get stuck or can't make it. #2 is necessary so that Efreeti cycle doesn't become a target only for guilds with enough alt's such that they can leave 30 permanently in sky.

Or just make porting down to 1 in sky eat keys. That would work too.

Would be some super classic sky crawls if this happened though. Prioritizing who you key up and setting up corpse summon groups... So classic.
