Stupid idea

first of all, maybe my memory is a little hazy but I don't remember MQ sales being at the level they are at on this server on live. Your contention that it's "classic" is, in my opinion, incorrect because on classic, yes, people sold MQs, but not nearly to the extent that they do here.

I never contended "it's classic" because I draw a distinction between classic MECHANICS and classic EXPERIENCE. MQs are a classic mechanic. Selling MQs like people do on here is not a very classic experience. And like I said, staff seem to think that it is usually a better idea to have classic mechanics than to try their hand at custom mechanics in hopes of recreating a more classic experience.

so I'm guessing he really believes that back on live it was impossible to get your epic without buying it from TMO and no one ever got a pair of jboots who didn't pay for them

Again, you're not distinguishing classic mechanics from classic experience, and you need to because it is impossible to have both.

Brought to you by someone on the server top 20 rich list? Yeahhh.

I wasn't always rich, and you definitely won't be able to find a quote of me complaining about someone else wanting to get rich themselves by, gasp, camping an item!

For the record, I am into emergent gameplay. I think it's great when people are able to actually use the game and how it works to do things differently and solve problems in creative ways. This is the same reason I think nerfing low hp kiting was... something. Not "bad," not "unnecessary," just, "not in the spirit of what's cool about EQ." Personally, I think Chardok AE is a complete racket, totally unfair and completely counter to the kind of EQ I like to play, BUT I don't ask that it be taken away from people because guess what, that's EQ, and someone had to die a lot to figure it out and it paid off for them and I'm behind it. As long as it doesn't totally step on the toes of other people who are trying to play (I don't think it does.) Low HP got nerfed because people got greedy and were taking the whole zone and stepped on too many toes. That's fair.

That's fair. I'll buy it.

I mean as we speak I'm levelling a level 6 wizard on Red by pulling a shitload of green skeletons and AEing them down because I figured out the bone chips quest is better exp than killing mobs in my range. Am I hurting anyone? I'm not trying to- there seem to be plenty of mobs around for everyone else. Am I doing something that I think is pretty creative and not really "how people do it" most of the time? Yep, and it's working very well for me. This game is cool because it allows you to be creative. But don't dick other people over all day every day to do that.

Leveling my 6 chanter on red by delivering mail to kelethin cause it's still faster than killing shit... lol.

This argument that Chewie and everyone else is having about the exp bonus is really bumming me out. Having your EQ everything invested into a dead server must be so depressing.

[Kekephee]

PS you should try this bone chips shit, I'm sure you can kill 4 skeletons faster than you can run a letter from kelethin to FP and that's half a yellow of exp at 6

I don't understand how getting rid of MQing "opens up content for more people." People aren't going to stop killing Venril Sathir, Trakanon, Faydedar, etc. just because they can't MQ epic items. If you want to experience the content, join a guild doing that content and get your epic.

Allow MQs, disable epic turn ins for sub 50s. Fixed yay. Let me sell the MQs to the really really really lazy suckers.
