So lets be honest here... Every player commenting here that has any clue of what is actually going on knows that new players creating mages have a slim to ZERO chance of ever obtaining their epic as it currently stands.

People have been Idling at the stairs since Hate was released. This is nothing new. If we aren't going to police it, the drop rate needs to be increased to preserve the integrity of the game.

Good luck finding a group of neckbeards with several alts willing to park their toons at the stairs for a 750k item just to give it away. Also, how many new players use fraps? Are we really expecting new players to our server to play detective?

The drop rate on the earth staff needs to be increased similar to what was done to Venril Sathir and the wizard epic to improve the integrity of the game. The staff has done a great job with these issues, and I am sure this will be no different as long as people stay vocal about it.

Increase the drop rate on the staff to drop almost every time like VS, and this crap will stop when the price plummets.
Truer words of wisdom have never been spoken.

Nalken and Kluwen are not in AM.

Phatez has not played p99 for about a year and has been informed of the use of his toon in plane of hate, he has responded that he does not have the EMU to change the PW.

Maintaining classic mechanics should arguably be set aside for the purpose of improving the health and dynamics of the server. Massive bottlenecks like earth staff, green scales and white scales (to name a few) only encourages high level teams and guilds to dumpster dive for cash - whether to bolster their in game coffers or, more sinisterly, to liquidate for actual cash via RMT.

If these items dropped 100% of the time the value would plummet. Every fear golem spawns brooding? Neat. The economy gets saturated. Vox/Gorenaire always drop a white scale? Excellent. Price drops and guilds will maybe stop killing them just to bolster guild coffers to finance item recharges.

Then the rules need to be enforced. Its one or the other.

The main difference between Sev, Vox, and Hate mini's is that the mini's can be done with 3 people and a null staff.

I am sure someone can find a way to 3 man Lady Vox, but in a competitive environment, with the lair to deal with? no.

Luclin era male forsaken revs also drop the staff. Would achieve the same effect as increasing drop rate except you are actually staying online with the progression.

A similar scenario played out in Kunark. Epics were farmed by TMO to the point where nobody could obtain one unless they bought it from TMO.

There was a huge push for that to end. But this time, its a much smaller group the server is being held hostage to due to the ease of the target.

With respect, I don't see how you can be so sure. Out of AM's hundreds of members, you're going to claim you know all if their unguilded alts and that none of them are ever parked somewhere they aren't supposed to be?

Sorry fam, but nah. I'm not even picking on AM specifically here. There are bad apples in every guild, and it's not possible to police people's unguilded alts.

The people doing this have not been in Aftermath in quite some time. They are players who are essentially done with the game and just farming plat. Will leave it at that.

If you had any evidence you would name a name.
Ask around to see who owns Hathan now. Have spotted him up there in the last few months.

Honestly the absolute and categorical denial of something which would be impossible to prove or disprove just makes me suspicious.
