Very disappointed with the GM event drops

[Tantalar]

The event was set up for a certain select few people. Even if you happened to be level 30+ you would still need to be grouped or be lucky enough to be a Mage/Shaman/Wizard. Clearly no thought about the hybrids either...

some proof would be nice before you go making accusations like this


sure it was a badly put together event without much thought being put into it.. but to go as far as to say it was gm favoritism? thats a bit overboard

[Kantan]

This goes back to the question why would we have an event like this and how does this event live up to the theme of this server? This is something one of those EZ servers would do.

I'm completely disgusted with this also and had no part in its planning or execution.

Eboots were dropping even? Djarn is a mini raid in the classic world. Passing out Eboots off high 20 mobs for that small number of 35+ is stupid.

Epic fail.

This server is fun

This won't be happening anymore..

Thanks for ruining it for the rest of us.

Outraged as you all might be, your complaints are drops in the bucket--

These items are available in the game right now. They will soon be widespread as CT is fixed and Doljonijiarnimorinar begins to fall to single groups. And let's face it... except for a rare few items that were removed for the reason (hi manastone), gear just does not unbalance EQ at this stage. (ZOMG, 9 WIS)

GM's, don't let this get to you. As much as Internet QQ is widespread, any forum is the gathering place for the whining. You will find the greatest concentration of complaints on a forum.

As any seasoned forum-goer can tell you, the forum is absolutely NOT representative of the general populace. As such, I think it's time I strike against this biased sample of the project 1999 playerbase.

The personal touch is what separates EQ from its inferior followers. It is what separates the Verant era from the Sony era. It was intense, immersive. GM events are precisely this.

Giving out items that people will have in a few weeks, or even months, anyway is not unbalancing. Keeping the right balance is the key, and here I take my lesson from Futurama--

As a GM, you don't want to interfere so much that people become reliant upon you for guidance and assistance. However, you don't want to be so distant that people stop believing in you...

As a suggestion, I wonder if more GM events are useful here. And I wonder if the players are gracious enough to respect you if you /broadcast that the current event is for players no higher than 20, for example. I guess if they aren't, you always have the #kill command. <3

Keep it up, Nilbog. Everything you(plural) have done here is supremely impressive; don't let these naysayers' fecal matter stick. I believe it was Eleanor Roosevelt who said something to the effect that no one can hurt you with words without your consent.

While there may be parts of Classic I'd rather never see return, GM events are definitely something to keep.

Totally agree with Majyn on this one.
