Poll: Upcoming Nerfs

[Muerte]

I have not heard a good reason for removing these items other than, "we are following a classic timeline".

I have talked to a lot of newer players who have just started here. One of things I keep hearing over and over is that they are excited to have the opportunity to acquire items that they could not get on live due to nerfs. They want to be able to camp a manastone, they want to loot it off the EE themselves, not buy it. As much as the EE camp sucks it is an experience to actually camp it yourself and loot it, something most players on live could not do.


I say leave them all in, give others the opportunity too, it is not going to change anything. By removing them several people will miss out on camping some of the key classic items, hence miss out on part of the classic experience once again. I would think that the purpose of this server is to provide the classic experience for all players, new and old, not just the lucky few who stumbled upon it first.

And yes, I have all these items.

Note: I realize this is beating a dead horse, and a poll will probably not change anything, but I'd like to see what others think(plus I'm bored[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]).


Just my thoughts.

I say leave them were they are, dont remove them. Once Kunark and Eventually Velious come out, they will be largly useless anyways.

I vote to get rid of them, the sooner the better... I don't have any of these items, I'm not going to camp any of them. The likelyhood of anyone new on this server getting to camp them is pretty small anyway, due to the fact that guilds will hold the spawn for days or weeks on end. Just my opinion, but it is the classic experience to have them removed, some people in classic were not lucky enough to get to the server in time, and so it goes here as well... thats just the way it goes.

i say make the world stop spinning so everyone has equal chances at everything!

remove the items and follow classic timeline is what i voted

Follow the timeline and then wipe the server clean every 2 years (or however long it took for Luclin to launch) and restart as if it were 1999 again. Then everyone would get another chance to relive the EE camp.

I vote to get rid of them, even though I don't even have any of the items that are being removed.

Manastone, for obvious reasons. It becomes a worthless trinket post-Kunark, so the reasoning for leaving it IN game can be applied the same way for taking it out. Plus, as with JBoots, the removal of it will also do away with the retarded camping problems, as we all see is currently going on.

Guise, because honestly, if this is left in game, everyone will be running around as Dark Elves - you know this. Who DOESN'T want to be a Dark Elf?!

Rubi BP, only because I remember the same type of problem that arose with the Fungi tunic. It just becomes to #1 item for any twink or alt to use, and meh, just get rid of it.

And the Box should really be self explanatory in a way. Tinker bags were a great way to get rid of some of the platinum in the market, thus in an indirect sense, help prevent inflation. That's generally the reason why any super-expensive merchant bought item is put into almost any MMO.

I support the timeline. it keeps it interesting, otherwise everyone would be running around with a manastone.

[Deric]

If they were made to stay for some reason(which I doubt), at least make them No drop.

But really, these are not the first, nor the last items to be removed or changed in the game.

[Virtuosos]

get rid of em and get rid of stupid spam of "TRADING MANASTONE FOR FULL SET OF RUBI OMGAZ"

they could get removed sooner IMO.....nerf the bitches, make em notrade, and lets move on! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

What about swords like bladestorm that were already removed from the game? Why draw the line with just the items coming out this patch, lets get the thex dagger put back in, too! And remember all the kunark items that they realized were overpowered and were removed/nerfed? When the time rolls around lets leave all of them in the game too!
