I did not say your epic was hard, only that you had one. If you truly care about the integrity of the server, then I would think you would see the point of having something that is rare and MQable being sold to undeserving Mages for massive amounts of platinum that can lead to RMT. Pringles makes the better argument for the health of the server by disabling MQ on epics because at least that would discourage people farming them. If you really care about the integrity of a server that is meant to be classic, I would hope that you would want the drop rate to match what it was on EQLive.

I care about the integrity of the server in 2020, which involves making non-classic adjustments in order to preserve the classic feel as much as possible (rooted dragons, nerfed clickies fall into this category).
Also I don't see what's wrong with selling epic MQs for plat. If anything, this allows casual mages who would have zero shots at looting the staff at a raid to (painstakingly) farm the plat and buy it. You don't like farm crews farming it? Find a few friends and farm it yourself. Don't have friends? Farm plat and buy it. So many options. If you disable MQ's or remove the farming crews, your only options will be to become a top guild member, play EQ like a full time job, and wait a few years until you are maybe allowed to spend your DKPs on the staff. | ||

The mobs doesn’t spawn every 12 hours, just has a chance to spawn. Pras for the pending fix to this obsurd bottleneck, surely the same GM that made the ‘fix’ to recharges and soulfire will apply that same logic here.

Bottom line is, the devs know what the mage epic is and are perfectly aware of the staff bottleneck. Since they leave it there, it's most certainly because they don't want the server flooded with mages, just like any TLP server is at the beginning. | |||

If I had gotten lucky with the RNG, I might not have become aware of the rarity and I probably wouldn't have done the research. (/shakes head) Of course!
I think the staff is aware of the rarity, but I did not see a prior post that presented evidence that the drop rate is not classic. A guide mentioned in the post I did see in blue chat that the post should be here in bugs, and it should provide era pertinent evidence that the drop rate. So, here it is. I did also see your post bumping a staff for sale in EC tunnel blue, one of your friends no doubt. I guess maybe your motives are not so pure on farming and the rarity of the staff. (figures)

You are wrong, I mistakenly replied to the topic instead of sending a private message in which I enquired about the price. I wouldn't mind epicing a mage on blue myself. He's asking a million, which is a shit ton of course, and I'm not going to pay that much. Note that other epic items such as the green or white scale, also routinely go for amounts of the same order of magnitude and they are nowhere near as empowering. | |||

Let us know when Sev, Hosh, Vox, or Gore start being farmed by a small group of untagged farmers that camp out at the spawn. | |||
