At least do it for us low level scrub farmers, who are just scraping by trying to make ends meet and put food on the table (or sword in the hand), for God's sake!

I disagree, and believe they do care, which is why I even bothered to post in the first place. I have much gratitude towards the staffs and devs for all their efforts over the years.

Cute little summary you fabricated there.

Did you by chance notice my forum join date?

"We've had reports of players exploiting"

That's about as vague and without evidence of a statement as anyone can make. Fact is you can't exploit something that isn't cheatable. If a quest turn-in gives exp up to a certain level, then that's how it works. As far as I know, that's never been broken, and quest exp was never disabled in Classic EQ. Ever.

"The approach to P99 is to remain as classic as possible"

Well you failed in this instance, plain and simple. There is absolutely nothing classic about disabling quest turn-in exp, something which has always been enabled as long as I can remember, on any server. Always.

Stop trying to fix what isn't broken.

Why does noone complain when double exp is activated?

Fact Check: True

They are misusing the word exploit instead of just saying "something we don't like."

I know exactly the quests they are talking about. There is no exploit. They just wanted to preserve an artificial speed of Kunark progression: dev-imposed instead of player-driven. They say so themselves.

Why not? We had our first 60 in under 10 days by exploiting their knowledge of the best mobs, the best zones, the best class combos, etc.

Isn't this what you think of when you hear the word "exploit"?

I don't know how many times this needs to be said, but to say it again:

Abusing the free nature of accounts and the server to stockpile hundreds/thousands of quest items on a ridiculous number of accounts and toons is absolutely exploitative. Thank you devs, for spiting these miscreants. A quest exp pause may not be classic, but no one was dropping ten grand on alt accounts to corpse gnoll scrolls either in anticipation for Kunark.
