Question "We want people to obtain their levels naturally via kills" --Rogean

Public Service Announcement: There will be no quest experience until approximately December 6, 2020

In regards to Rogean's statement below I have a couple questions and a couple observations for Rogean, the Devs and the community

Exploits
Is turning in level appropriate quest items for classic quests for the normal quest exp an exploit? What "expected exploits" did you find and if you "expected" them could we just have patched the exploits?

What is "obtaining levels naturally"?
For 1 month people can't use bonechips and lightstones, but level 1 Iksars can use Brazier of Elemental Summoning to summon a level 12 fire pet with a 14dmg DS that lasts until you zone or log

For 1 month people can't use gnoll scrolls, but certain guilds with 1-2 Red Dragoon Tooth can have level 1's summon level 50 lifetapping 55dmg quadding monsters to take them to level 50.

Are those 2 ways "obtaining their levels naturally" as Rogean describes it?

Conclusion
It seems the elite with dragon teeth can level how they please, but those plebs who gathered bones and stones can take a hike.

EQ was great because it was a sandbox. Sadly, P99 is becoming more and more of theme park. Cherrypicking what isn't classic has added to this. Calling normal classic quests at the normal levels giving normal exp "exploits" is gaslighting. You could just say "We personally don't like this way of doing things." It would be more honest.

Those are actually really good points, we already saw some iksar pretty high level from dedicatd PL teams, does seem the lower level folk just get crippled that aren't able to be PL'd now they cant get quest xp either. Maybe there's something else we're missing here.

Are you suggesting that Kunvid-19 was man made in an effort to root out people abusing game mechanics?!

Turning in lots of quest items is as much 'abuse' and 'exploiting' as killing lots of mobs [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
