Game Mechanics: Sea Dragon Meats

[heartbrand]

How do you deal with people who bought them then? If anything should just stop it going forward.

On a side note if you played on red you wouldn't have to poop sock 8)

Thats them being dumb buying an item that has no purpose until a later expansion, that has no evidence supporting it dropping before said expansion.

Lets be realistic though. The VAST majority of these meats are sitting in guild-banks. In stacks. Waiting to be transformed into Othmir Prexus Totems the minute you get someone keyed in Cobalt Scar.

Just killed Faydedar, dropped Meat. Not classic.

Someone brought up a fantastic point. We could just swap all Sea Dragon Meats for Steaks.

wonder who suggested that.

[Daldaen]

Bump. It wasn't me Thulack.

But I like the idea of replacing all Sea Dragon Meats with the Steaks and turning off that drop until Velious.

If item ID is really a reliable way to tell whether or not an item should be in game, then I would think this item would already not be in the game. Not hard to do a comparison between two lists.

[Daldaen]

Bump.

No mention of this ever dropping before Velious
Not used in any Kunark quest or tradeskills
Lumped together in item ID with Velious meats.

Tl;Dr - All existing Meats need to be removed from game or turned into steaks so that we don't have an extremely unclassic flood of 500 Othmir Prexus Totems on launch.

Terrorantula silks were not retroactively removed; I don't see any reason why sea dragon meat would be.
