Being unable to drop money started sometime during Luclin or PoP. It was done because people would drop their copper all over the place and it littered the game up. The reason it can't be put in is because it's a client side issue. The code for dropping coins isn't there anymore in titanium.

Apparently people would crash zones by dropping craptons of copper pieces everywhere...Dunno if that was a myth tho.

In any case, I'd prefer to have drop-coins available (if possible) since I've done tons of drop transfers, on live and here, and never lost them because I always had see invis up, and did them in very remote or odd places that most players weren't even aware of.

I won't complain if it's not added, though.

Man, back in the day we'd go drop stacks of tens of thousands of copper in the newbie yard... watching these horribly overloaded newbs crawling back to nfp.

So much joy.

I know a few of people that used to do that in the Karanas. They would make a breadtrail from one end to the other and you'd see newbies following around... zonecrashes were prevalent. When they realized what was happening there was about another week of constant zone crashes before it was disabled.

There were many exploits with dropping of coin. Most notably would be the firepot exploit in EC. You would not get any confirmation asking you if you wanted to drop the money.

Scammer would sit on the firepot and auction something. Buyer would come up and try to hand money but with the firepot, the money wouldn't be traded. Money would instead drop under the fireport in which the scammer would either pick it up himself or have a spotter do it.
