[CrystalBlue]

Everything seems far more common here then i've seen on live or EQmac.

I'd say its a combination of item drop rate and rare mob spawn both being set too high, and "features" like being able to cherry pick name and named place holders with invisi-pulling through the whole zone to the zone line and/or through multiple walls and floors (most of the time the mob/named warps right up through the floor to the waiting party).
