Locket of Escape broken?

[zaldaben]

yeah 70 hours which im assuming you had buddies logging in but still. thats retarded for an item that was already removed. if you are working even a low paying job 12ish/hr thats like 800 bucks opportunity cost you could of earned working instead of pissing it down the drain for an item thats not even obtainable anymore. If you have a good paying job of around 30/ hr thats 2100. thats some real grievances. I think the folks waiting on that list since they shadow removed it and didnt announce it should be at least compensated with the item at the very least.

How do you stay up for 55 hr straight?

Drugs?

Maybe those guys should rethink their lives...

Ehhh, there’s a timeline. That the devs follow. That’s publicly available.

If someone ignored that timeline then decided to stick around for *literally days*, that’s 100% on them.

Which timeline are you looking at? The legacy seb loot was not removed in the same update as the locket of escape, on blue, on classic, or any server that I'm aware of. It's not even listed as such on the official timeline that Green is supposedly following, nor were they removed at the same time on Blue.

There should be 2 weeks after locket when other items are removed, but they seem to be clumping the timeline into one-month batches.

Is that generous of them to leave it in?

Maybe.

Is there any way someone "should have known" it wasn't dropping because there's a timeline?

No.

Even then, that's irrelevant, and the "it's classic" argument doesn't hold up. Nobody was /list poopsocking things in classic expecting it to be taken out.

Another vote for "Give the guy a title or a locket" like the democracy this is.

Yeah, I don’t buy it. We all knew removal was imminent, there was a patch, and after 20 hours of no locket the guy goes, “I’ll give it another 35 hours then ask!” And he should be...compensated?

I’m not making an “it’s classic” argument, I’m making a “this was a stupid waste of time that deserves discouraging not rewarding”. But I’m also generally anti-poop sock, and especially multiday insanity like this.

"We all knew" is a stretch. "imminent" is a stretch. Hell, after they didn't remove it at the 2 week mark like they should have, even "removal" was a stretch.

The locket went 3 days without dropping before. There was no indicator that any items at all were removed, because there wasn't even a "Some items were removed" statement.

The suspicion arose when it became obvious that a lot of other stuff was removed, and that suspicion was mitigated by the existence of the serverside list still being active

Ehhh, I really don’t think “this item that was around for less than a month was probably removed in the one month patch” really requires any stretching. And “sometimes you had to poop sock for 72 hours” is, again, an argument against poopsocking, not an argument for compensating someone for voluntarily wasting their time on a free emulator.
