Scout's an absolute joke. So let's change the "rules"

Yeah lets make it an all spam, model squeeze, shit fest again! I loved losing to Shiftyfiver every day! Sometimes twice a day. It was the best. Speaking of, is that you, Shifty?

I'm fine with losing a roll and then helping out, but the clickfest was a lose/lose situation unless you were one of a few cheaters that won every time. No thanks.

As someone who lost the ring 8 roll 61 times total (which is a much higher Barrier to entry) before finally getting it on a quake, I feel like a roll is the most fair way to do it and agree with gat. As soon as you let buyers loot the piece you will have people literally show up every day lotto style for their chance at an easy 20-30k

Fun side note: One time me and a guildie actually tied for the winning roll and rather than a re roll we dueled for it in front of the crowd which was a fun experience (even though I was brutally slain lol)

This made me smile. People still enjoying EQ =)

Scout roll is literally a pixel welfare line.

Solution? Stop killing the mob for everyone who wins.

40 people show up and 1 wins the roll? Cool, hope they have a friend or two, because everyone that didn't win should go on their way.

Until you abolish the system of handing out free loot (a la everyone helping kill the encounter), people will show up en masse to collect the handout.

Random 1k for winner; winner should be able to do what they want with their disc and should have to provide their own kill force

This right here needs to be an option in the poll so i can change my vote.
Gotta bring my own kill force to ring roll.

I haven't done scout roll for a couple of years. I heard about the rolling thing but everyone stays behind to help with the encounter? During clickfest if you got it, I think the way it was done was you had to bring your own force for the captain.

I can see why people would be upset if that is how it is done now.

the premise of these replies seems to be: dedication is necessary to deserve pixels

I submit to you a question: why? this is a video game

[Legidias]

Petition to rename clickfest to autofirefest, macrofest, third party program fest, etc...

One time I played a video game where I stood in line for 3 months to get +20 health to wrist.

Clickfest will just skew the results towards a few (mostlikely rmt’er using autofire)

Being able to sell/give loot rights away will just increase the number of people rolling/clicking.

Even though the current situation isnt perfect its a whole lot more fair towards the majority of players than the alternatives.
