I'm a bit torn on the epic MQ thing.
On one hand, I think if you have lots of plat, you should be able to throw it into a twink or a new guildmates Rogue or Cleric Epic.
On the other hand, people are making a 'living' (in that it is their primary source of in-game income) off these MQs. To the point that you will see an Epic'd Rogue pick-pocketting in Neriak or Kaladim, or an epic'd Cleric camping Bergugle or Gimblox. (or a toon not of that class even). This blocks players who are trying to do their epic for themselves, which I have a problem with. Forcing players to have to buy their epic and blocking them from really doing the quest as it was intended.
The Velious epic changes are long overdue IMO. SOME of these are fixes to Kunark content, not Velious content. SOME are indirectly Velious content.
Bards - Spawned Trak via UDB --- Post-Velious Content?
Clerics - Spawned Zordak via Pearlescent Shards (/wrists) --- Post-Velious Content?
Druids - Spawned VSR / Fay
Magicians - Earth Staff off male revenants
Necros - Slime Blood off Golems --- Velious Content
Necros - Eye of Innoruuk off Hate Minis --- Velious Content
Rangers - Spawned VSR
ShadowKnight - Soul Leech off Golems --- Velious Content
Warrior - Hand off Hand --- Velious Content
Wizard - Cazic Skin replaced by broken golem
I forget when the Bard/Cleric epics were changed but I seem to recall hearing it was post-Velious. Some of those fixes coincide with Planar updates in Hate and Fear.
Unfortunately you really need the Velious Planar update to remove the issues on VS, CT, Inny as far as epics go. But the 4 bolded ones would lessen it a little bit. I'm to the point where I think just releasing the Velious Planar updates, with Iksar Armor, Minis and Epic pieces moved to trash/minis would be beneficial to the server. No more 1.0 Planes... 4 years has been enough.
