Christmas event flooding the economy with matchless dragonwing mantles

[CrazyPro]

So if you do the quest sub-46 you can swap our the other trash rewards for a matchless dragonwing mantle which previously costed ~50k and now today like 10 people are suddenly selling these, and the price is plummeting fast.

I feel sorry for the one guy who was trying to sell his before the event started. Poor dude.

Not to mention the rewards for the 46+ bracket.

A BiS caster bracer and a PoM cloak that takes like 40k plat to buy the cards to make, but priests get a crappy stat stick that's not even remotely close to as good as the other rewards.

It's already starting to look like Project Quarm in here with that 45 item unity vulak (phattest in history by far, 7 abashi's, 7 mrylokar's 7 tolan's, 7 palladius' axes, 7 staves of the silent star, 7 sprinklers of the spirits, 55 tacos 55 fries, 55 burgers, etc. One of each for each guild (which included a guild consisting of like 15 or 20 people, so they basically got an insane amount of BiS loot for free whereas every other guild's members had to dump a lifetime worth of dkp to get their items.)

The devs and GMs have never been this generous, but this is probably a bit too much don't you think? Can we put a full set of BiS gear for each class as the reward for next year's Christmas event?

1000 lumps of coal.

[Duik]

News.
Zerg guilds get .005% loot per member.
Smaller guilds get more.


Math is hard hey?

1000 'shards of abashi'

[Duik]

Dont raid.
Remain sane.
No Abashi pain.

Complain No Raidz Lootz. Waaa.

Complain too much Raid Lootz. Waa.

No wonder devs *seem* to ignore this place 'till it suits them.

[sammoHung]

It's because the servers about to end, with any luck.

This event is really, really bad. The population of these servers fucking suck. People are lined up in ToFS camping mobs all god damned day on Christmas Eve.

I applaud the effort in making something fun and rewarding, Devs... but look at how it was received. Immediately scummed by the population.

WE CAN NOT HAVE NICE THINGS

[Jimjam]

Merry Christmas!

You dont need to be sub 46. I went back on blue and did it with like five level 60s who had bracers rotting in their bank. I felt gross doing it. Why a near best in slot tradable shoulder? Makes no sense to me. At least make it heavy or peerless, not a sought after item

[Steven01]

Its shoulders not even raid loot really. Im glad market is flooded, they are good. I
You would only be mad if you where trying to make plat and it ruined your plans. Suddenly you believe server sucks because you couldnt take advantage of it..

[JayDee]

I dont think you understand what makes classic everquest so great. Those shoulders should be hard to come by and very rewarding when someone dawns them on their shoulders.

And no I am not jealous I have a number of them on both servers now

This was not a good decision imo but not the end of the world either

Spoken like a true p99 degenerate. Complaining about too many pixels going to small groups of people that would otherwise not get them.

[Yumyums Inmahtumtums]

Seriously. It's about working together to deny other people pixels.

[Goregasmic]

You would only be mad if you where trying to make plat and it ruined your plans.

Paid 28k in cards for a cloak of confusion a couple months ago. No one knew. Got a nice bracer from the event though so it balances out I guess.

But yeah, that one guy probably feels personally attacked heh.

Now everyone is camping the warlord though so RIP exp groups.

[Teako]

I mean this in complete sincerity

what the fuck are you talking about

[aaezil]

Old/bald/mad

[sammoHung]

One of the quests was also giving a gift box as areward, and was infinitely repeatable. So players were scumming that and exploiting the gift boxes to get lots of black marbles flawless diamonds, wort pots, etc.

Overall, this might be the nail in the coffin for me and p99. The playerbase sucks. Can't even have a holiday event without people throwing tantrums over EXP camps, shithead behavior like monopolizing spawns for weeks at a time, or various other scummery like exploiting a broken quest.

Shut the whole project down, Rogean, you know its time.
