its a long way to 50 for casuals

long enough for neckbeards to do one lap around and catch up to them with twinks

So take currently droppables and make them non-drop but take currently non-drop and make them droppables?

I know you're hell bent on designing something that punishes the most active players but this is bordering on asinine. I'm trying my best to be constructive, honestly. I like the fact that you're thinking out of the box and putting thought and effort into your ideas. But it seems like the premise of every one of them is to make it so casual players have an easier time, and raiding/more active players are the only ones who can lose.

I'm telling you, none of these ideas will do anything to combat the uberguild mentality. EQ was literally designed around it. Raid mechanics like mobs with over a million HP. Or death touch. Or massive amounts of adds. Those were put in because of the expectation level you'd have 4 or 5 full groups for any raid encounter.

I thought almost all of it was droppable? All the classic specific armor for shamans is anyway, the only crap I bothered looking in to. :P

How would designing sub par lvl15, lvl30, lvl45 items punish the most active players? I dont get it

What other idea have i proposed that punishes active players?

If people are looking for a NO Drop Base set...I have a possible solution... Keep all Planar, and Velious Quest Armor Dropable.... But Make all temple of Sol Ro Quest Armor like Crafted, Totemic, Darkforge, No DROP ( allow Multi questing) would make for lots of PVP in those zones as people try to farm up a set of no drop gear... It would be enough gear to do a rebreak of fear ect.. or do gimpy PVE if you are getting ganked constantly... while keeping anyone who is trying to compete in PVP in mostly droppable gear... ( a few pieces of the sets are actually pretty good )

I proposed this like 6 months ago and got flamed for it, but I totally approve of the idea.

Its all about having an ongoing pvp server that stays fluid... if gear can change hands ... pvp will be very meaningful...

another stupid item loot / teams thread

It wasnt stupid until you posted in it, though

You guys I'm only on page 2 but I have to say something. If you aren't pvping then don't talk like you know what goes down. There are never any "root bombs" going off in mass PvP. It never happens. When a target gets called, the pell train hits. Not the "stand around casting root 5 times" train.
