Scout Quest is Going Away (Woot)

I disagree: the people playing it are constrained by the staff, and the staff enforces the lottery ticket. Before that, the way we got the lottery ticket was that the staff enforced the (even worse) clickfest.

Of course, P99 isn't live, so we can never have true classic (where Scout just sat there un-used, for hours or even days). But, only the staff can make it closer to classic.

Imagine if you got to Scout and everyone had a minute or two window to turn in their tools. Then, Scout's normal message would change, ever so slightly: "Great! I was wondering when they would send someone out to give me these, Loramin ...." It would then be my raid force's responsibility to help ..., just like Ring Wars, Spirit of Garzicor, etc.

To be clear, I'm not condemning the staff (for not making more work for themselves): they have so much work already just so we can play a free game! I completely understand why they keep the lottery ticket system.

I just think it's a necessary evil (from not having enough staff/hours), and if it wasn't the staff would fix it ... because fundamentally lottery tickets are not classic EQ.
