Isn't this just merging blue and green with extra steps?

It's just slavery with more steps.

This is a good point. Maybe the drop rate of manastones needs to be halved from what it is currently to maintain classic drop rate integrity? :rolleyes:

A lot of bad ideas in here

Manastone has two key words in it. Man and stone, so be a fucking man and get some stones. Neckbeard your drop and end this daily thread trend of crying about pixels and how the big kids aren't letting you play.

Seriously tired of all these crybabies who are used to insta wow rewards, pretending like they didn't know EQ was CLASSIC. This is EQ, THIS is why we play here. THIS is not for your average gamer IF you want to play at the HIGHEST level possible.

The great thing is that you don't have to play at the highest level to have fun, and infact more fun can be had just playing the game casually and not being a basketcase.

Personally, I don't see manastone as a great item, but apparently many people disagree with me, and that is fine. That's not the thing that confuses me.

What confuses me, is the idea that people don't want more useful items.

I appreciate green is about the journey and starting fresh so things are different. That's not what blue is about, though: its an end of life server. I don't even care if it's not me that has the manastones on blue; it's a team game of players versus environment. The better equipped the players are as a whole the better it is for me and the more content is open for me to take part in.

Like, if I was on a Vox raid on blue, I'd definitely rather the cleric had a manastone. Lets get some bards their epics!

What reason is there to not want other people to have better pixels?

They dont want manastones to roll into blue because they think they are somehow special that they have something that no one can ever get again

Honestly just grind something that doesn't require staying awake for 3 days and buy one later.
