"Earn" isn't really a synonym for poopsock. It has another meaning entirely. Please stop abusing our poor language, it has suffered enough already.

In the context of eq "earn" does indeed equal poopsocking most of the time. Deal with it.

Then perhaps you shouldn't have jboots if you don't want to put in the effort to earn them.

CEOs don't hand-build their mega-yachts but that doesn't mean they didn't earn them.

On the other side of the equation, those who are unwilling to earn their epic and other gear many times are unwilling to farm and look to buy plat thus supporting those who farm for real life cash.

That is absolutely absurd. Are you implying that someone who finds AC up in SRO by accidentally strolling through has earned jboots more than someone who spent 12 hours there, then gave up and decided to farm the money for it?

Also, your RMT statement is about as stupid as saying that you should never pay someone cash because you'd be supporting mob money laundering.

Sometimes you walk by a spawn and get lucky. So a person camps for 12-hours, no success. Come back and do over, not worth the effort, then I guess you don't want the item bad enough.

MQing not only supports RMT but distorts the economy. MQing is the easy button. Lot of stuff you can farm with little risk. Epics you have to take risk and put in some effort, that's why its called EPIC. I say take out MQing and the what will L-60's do is lame, lot of content out there that is not done by many L-60's because of the risk and fear of dying. It's just too easy to MQ sell for plat and buy the best gear.

Do you even play this game? There's virtually nothing of any value on this server that isn't locked down, let alone not for a "fear of dying". MQ'ing can't be "taken out" of the game. MQ'ing does not "distort" an economy.

As long as something requires a resource to produce (in this case, time spent preparing/camping MQ items) and is in a competitive market (other people are able to do it as well and pricing is regulated) then it does not impose a significant threat to an economy.

Maybe if you're an idiot.

Epic quest did have a level 51 minimum. I remember that

Also, IIRC, 9th ring quest was:
1. Get a box
2. Combine 6 traitor dorf heads in said box
3. Turn combined heads + 8th ring in to get 9th ring

So you could MQ it IF you had the 8th ring. You can definitely MQ the 8th ring, though, then MQ the 9th ring.

Also, people are now buying seahorse scales? Crap, I vendored most of them from my Kedge days...

Wasn't some 45 or 46 to start tho? I also remember some level requirement
