They could just disable MQ for epics. But that isn't Classic, so they're not gonna do it.If people are toxic enough with something, they DO change it, so maybe this will change some day

Probably not, tho

What epic are you talking about. Other than the easy ones i rarely see any epic for sale
Sure there's cleric and rogue epics readily available,because anyone with a few friends can do those

too bad "muh no farm crews" on woke99 - ah the good ole days of doing golems with less than 10 ppl

How do I buy enchanter epic for real life money?

it's a bot

someone is using these forums in their language model training

I have an answer to all of this that I believe could fix everything.. its a multi pronged approach that gives everyone what they want without taking away much.

1) "I want an epic but I don't have time!"
Add a vendor that sells the epic for plat. Same stats, same looks EXCEPT when you swing it it makes a cash register sound instead of the normal swing sound, and it has little dollar sign particle effects regardless of the epic.

2) "I want the epic but I am an adult, with adult responsibilities. I am willing to farm for the epic bit I cannot poop sock like the neckbeards."
Make an instanced zone for each mob with an epic piece, gives you the regular epic.

3) "but but I farmed all these epic mq parts with my uber top tier raiding guild and woke up at 3am for the past decade to keep it on lockdown for 'reasons'".
Epics gotten before the change will have their particle effects changed to little poop socks and the epic wielder will give off a slight 'stink cloud' particle effect (due to not showering) to recognize their efforts and their epic description window will have an added modifier 'better than yours'

I think this would equally help and annoy everyone :-)

Log onto EZ server.

All the 1.0 epics are free on a vendor at the noob spawn.

EZ means extended zones, not easy

Restricting the drops would mean less drops which would mean more scarcity and less accessibility, aka counter productive to your end goal. Making things not-MQable would increase the chance of rot or loot going to waste because someone isn't there to loot it on the character that needs it in that moment 100% of the time.

Really its a conversation about people thinking they are entitled and want things handed to them when they aren't willing to put in the same amount of work as the person that is actually farming the loot. You see this pervasive in big guilds where people complain about loot despite being handed a lot more from the guild than what they actually contribute to the guild in return.

So one guild can simply own an MQ just so they can make plat? It's not even for epics than it is for anything that is MQ-able.
