The farmers are not the only ones to blame here, it is also the people willing to pay instead of play. People need to be encouraged to experience EQ and not take shortcuts. That's why we play right? Because we love the game. Well try playing it. There is nothing more classic than that.

So you're arguing your point of removing something by stating how popular it is with the general population?
Just because you had a certain experience doesn't mean other people shared it with you. Maybe someone camped the AC for days and hated every excruciating second of it and would have loved for someone to offer them a MQ for plat they had no other use for aside from twinking out an alt. Then they could have gone back to doing what they wanted to do, and "played the game" the way they felt it provided the most enjoyment.
You're acting like we're having a debate of two choices:
1) Buy all your gear via MQ
2) Eliminate MQing completely
In reality, the debate is this:
1) Give people the option to MQ if that is what the want to do
2) Eliminate the ability for someone to choose
What about the people who can't get a group together to take down an epic mob? By your logic everyone should have a fair shot at an epic, so why not make it a random world drop or off a soloable mob? By eliminating MQing you're actually reducing the amount of people who will have access to an epic weapon, not increasing it.
Honestly, if you were arguing that epics are too easily obtained because of MQing, or that you don't have to be a heavily invested end game raider type (which the weapons were really there for on live) to get one, and THAT is why MQing should be eliminated then I would still disagree but I'd probably see your angle a little better.
But you're not, you are arguing that people can farm quest pieces for alts and to sell so other people can't get at that content as often as they'd like.
One thing we completely agree on, seeing a level 5 with an epic sucks. I wouldn't mind one of those dudes tanking for me though.
