Guys were trying to game the system and got got themselves. Time to move on(with the game or with your lives if you can't handle the P99 admin decisions). And that's just the way it is, in all its brutal cruelty. Sorry to be the messenger.

Hey, its all good, you don't kill the messenger.
I can deal with the admin decisions, and even respect them. I just find that while of course this is to deter the folks who no-life camped hundreds, if not thousands of quest turnins... I think that the way it was gone about was rather poorly done.
Most of what I could see was a bulletpoint on a rather large list of patch notes, and I would also imagine that while many of us see the board often as denizens of RnF, there is also hundreds of people that had no idea until turn-ins were eaten and went to report a possible bug in their eyes. Most of the information I have been able to gather has been from secondary sources, and im sure the more casual side of the server wouldn't normally be able to see that either.
Even logging in, I would imagine that something as large as eliminating an entire EXP source for the entire server for a month would garner at least a message on the MOTD saying something along the lines of ..
"Please note that quest experience has been disabled for 30 days to allow fair races to level 60" which would make complete sense, but nothing is there and acting as if nothing is different.
I'm willing to concede that this server has non-classic policies in place in order to suit the server admins vision and will continue to do so going forward. I do hope that at the very least they make these types of decisions going forward better communicated so that there isn't as much confusion as to why.
I've seen posts from server staff when making changes to the raid scene, it would be beneficial for the server as a whole to have that happen as well for larger, temporary changes like this too.
