Is it legal to repeatedly kill a quest mob just to prevent others from getting?

[Jimjam]

Rather than disabling MQ on this quest, I think a more expedient fix would be just to make it so the lore item check applies to active corpses as well as inventory / bank. No more corpsing AC rings or Tranny crowns.

The other fix could be for GM's to be less liberal in their restoration of rotted corpses.

Of course: NOT CLASSIC.

Thanks for all the notes on poopsocking, I'll have to start using that term in professional environments.

Or accept the fact that after its 7 years people are still crying about it so whatever they're doing they should keep doing.

That lore item check idea makes sense.

Concerning Classic: on my server there were lots of multi-boxers and plenty of RMT. Things were so camped it was hilarious.

But the legions of Druid and Ranger farmers left the AC alone so people could quest J Boots. I did so on multiple chars without issue.

And does it make sense to consider myopic code (i.e. the lack of item check applying 'to active corpses as well as inventory / bank') some significant aspect of Classic? I don't think so. Especially with this exploit as a result.

Maybe you're just trolling.

But if not, I'll clarify for you. I'm not describing item farming.

I'm describing farming of NO DROP LORE items, which seems explicitly contrary to game design.

Surely there are other items to farm? Perhaps items that aren't NO DROP LORE?

Corpsing anything, especially NO DROP LORE, seems a clear exploit.

This one in particular prevents people from completing a quest the developers probably intended for all level appropriate players to complete. It simply converts it into a revenue source for greedy exploiters.

It really deprives the players, and I can't imagine forming a principled defense for it in the rules.

in a better world, you'd be right.

but that is not our world.

hope this helps!

I think the best fix would be to just remove the Druid ring in SRo.

I personally wish that MQs weren’t a thing. It’s not in the spirit of the game as far as lore first of all. Secondly there are way too many people forced to pay for their epics. Not that a lack of MQ would prevent the farm crews. They would just have people pay for the loot rights instead.

That being said I do still appreciate the convenience of buying MQ when I need. I have bought several epics and 4 pairs of jboots.

OP, just don’t go crazy and start murdering Hasten over and over to try to stop the MQ!

MQs are actually chill and good. I enjoy both doing them and buying them. The problem lies with lore checks not applying to corpses, allowing unbounded repeat farming of bottleneck mobs. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
