Why cant we drop coin anymore?

[Bman703]

Tired of deleting money on my monk pretty sure in classic monks could drop their plat on the ground and pick it up when they were done

people kept making giant swastikas in the tunnel with copper

thats not true, that was corpses

I specifically remember this from classic this doesn't seem right

[Lunababy]

You used to be able to drop money and it would appear in the world as a little coin (and not a bag). I'm pretty sure it was changed on live as well, and definitely during the classic trio era.

Friend and I used to drop gold coins in a trail in qeynos for newbs into the guardhouse with only 1 exit. 1 of us would be invis as an ogre and block the door, was pretty funny.

They won't allow it here, I think it's actually a restriction of the titanium client as well.

[Zaela]

Client restriction. Most likely there is no packet sent or client-side code triggered to hook onto when you click a cursor full of coins out into empty space in the Titanium client, which would make it pretty hard to force it to happen. And who knows if the client even supports the 2D coin sprites (for when they're on the ground) any more...

I thought they got rid of this due to 1) people spamming the ground trying to lag people out, 2) there was a duping exploit

[Lightloch]

On Live it was changed during the classic era. I remember it could cause tons of lag. Not to mention the potential RMT exploitation of it.

As far as I remember you never could on P99.

Yep. Not on P99. There have been plenty of other threads and bug reports about it over the years.

Yes, you could drop coin in classic. I have screenshots of me dropping coins "artistically" in LGuk. It is a limitation of Titanium client.

There are many posts about this...

Due to the Firepot scam where you could Drop your coin on the ground
and have a friend pick it up before an announced Downtime/patch
and log back in after the downtime and essentially duping your plat...

I heard thats why they got rid of it on live, but i could be wrong

[Hyperbase-1999]

I remeber the vendors buying items for more than they would sell, every time it became public it would be moved to a new npc... classic.
