Regarding Scout and <Savage>

Very sorry, I thought you were advocating the "no roll click fest" situation where certain players are able to win the turn in without fail every time; please accept my humble apology. I agree, it's bad that a player of that level is eligible for the roll. Perhaps a level requirement is in order.

I don't think it's wrong to allow previous experiences to affect my decision making process when it comes to helping others. YMMV.

Thank you all for the The Wire gifs.

I mean, I do think the "no roll click fest" is better than the roll, for reasons of ramifications. I don't, however, think its an ideal situation. The problem that is non-classic is that the server is a bottle neck at end game material, such as Scout. It is what it is, I guess.

OP is missing out
<Savage> are chumps
Been marking up my tunnel wares about 20% and selling it to them

It is not like this is some sort of challenging content being exploited. The design is crap on rewards that are pretty rad for very little effort.

Let’s not make this more than it is. If a handful of folks are troubled due to cooperation and sharing, well, that is so tragic and I am sure your issues are being looked into.

maybe it's time to take a step back and reassess the energy you're putting in to this?

Trading one players plat/time for another player's time/plat is central to EQ. This is the game where higher level players can convert time to plat by power-leveling or selling acquired gear, or lower-level players can convert time into plat by selling bone chips, potions, or even plat itself (to players farming Ice Giants). Hell, this is a game where you can effectively buy your epic weapon from others (again, trading plat for time).

All we're really talking about here is a player with plat buying slightly better odds of being able to attempt a fight, and lower-level players profiting from it. It sucks for poorer players (like most things in EQ), but they still get one unique advantage here that they don't get anywhere else in EQ: a free kill force.

Compared to (say) a non-AA Shaman who has to farm 100k on their own to get their epic, a scout player having to either take a slightly worse random chance (and getting free player help), or having to pay for a slightly better one (and then provide their own force) just doesn't seem worth worrying about to me.

The OP is 100% correct, went to a scout roll once and two of the guys from savage were the only ones holding out. Savage had like 6 people there but two of them wouldn't agree to roll. It sucks for the other 4, because one of them ended up winning the pointless roll.

An awakened guy was wise to savage's ways and denied them by turning in first. The awakened guy let everyone know ahead of time saying something like "don't be naive guys savage is here"..one of the savage guy who didn't agree to roll proceeded to throw a tantrum in ooc and cursed everyone else out.....guys are more <babies> than <savage>

Since scout is a static spawn, can i show up before anyone else and claim her as a camp and kill her instead of doing a turn in? Sort of how Blood Guard likes to claimed enchanter NPC mobs? I think ill do this and fraps it and then petition whoever tries to take my camp.

Good reply. Glad you've seen the error of your ways. See you in the next Scout thread.

I mean, you can try to kill her. You may not like the result.
