ToV melee binds extremely unclassic

[m00r5tuD]

This recent patch had me thinking. Recharging Locket of Escape, although technically classic, has been abused much like spider nets, mallets, wands. It completely changes the raid scene as entire guilds can have their melee bound at ToV. This is not classic at all. People should have to run from Cobalt Scar every time like we did 20 years ago.

For a true classic experience all melee binds in Western Wastes should be wiped and Locket of Escape made no longer rechargeable.

pre nerf alliance neck goes wayyyyy up for all the SG noobs lol

Although recharging wasn't known about for most of classic, by end game velious it was knowledge that top guilds did have.

Melee were certainly binding in PoM in classic.

Never heard of any melee binding at ToV back then though.

+1 for OP

Pros:

1) be on call 24/7 to race for your teams dragon pixels.

Cons:

1) it’s binding at a raid target’s spawn (Sontalak)

2) people go afk and get caught in a death loop

3) no vendor or bank nearby for restocking inventory while on corpse recovery

4) not a travel hub

Terrible bind imho, unless your eq experience has been reduced to a narrow selection of the boss fight minigame.

So is this the new typical post for the forums this week? some butthurt player who doesn't have something that other people have, demanding nerfs and removal of said thing.

But but... because classic!!!!


Also this did make me laugh....

That'll just hurt AG much more than it would Riot, dude.

I'd love to see the server actually have to mobilize and pick or choose targets but with the amount of alts and max level toons you're never going to return to the way things were when Velious was the current expansion.

wow cringing

[Erati]

how is Locket being recharged not classic again?

[Endonde]

Why stop there?

The amount of Monks and Shamans on P99 is incredibly unclassic, players flock to these overpowered classes now that they know how strong they are. We should randomly remove 75% of all monks currently on the server to encourage a more classic environment.

Having a fully best in slot character? I don't think so, at best you got a few pieces of ToV loot before the next expansion came out. So I say we limit every character to only 7 pieces of raid loot from each expansion!

Shit's never gonna feel classic just give up.
