This post makes absolutely no sense. Crying "I want my easy money NOW" does not give any pluses to your credibility. There has to be a certain amount of balance in the game. EQ has always been about risk vs reward.

With that said, I will look into the issue.

Dude, no disrespect or anything, but I don't really think he/she is 'crying for easy money', they are just stating their opinion. And honestly, the FP guards aren't exactly 'easy' from what I remember...a good deal of risk involved, not to mention they are level 30 mobs.
C'mon, if you were just a regular player and not a dev, woulden't you be slightly dissapointed if you went to enjoy a camp you frequently fight at for exp and money,only to find the drops were bugged/nerfed?

...and I just read the follow-up posts after this one...this person was NOT 'crying'. =D

As of last night, the FP guards are still dropping Rusty, (I didn't kill them but I ran by and checked a corpse to see a Rusty Sword)

As of 1:37 PM est 5/11 Bashers in Grobb are still dropping rusty swords. I'm filing bankruptcy.

There hasn't been a patch. Fixed with the next patch.

this effects the economy as a whole big time

with the resent nerf to guards dropping fine steel

all the big ticket items, fbss, ssoy, mith 2hander, rubicite, manastones etc are all selling at a higher value due to people thinking everyone is getting more cash they they are, jacking up prices, when in reality the value of plat went up skyhigh due to guards being nerfed and the lack of raw plat coming into the economy... ssoys were 10-12k, now there up to 14-16k when plat is actually worth more, same with gebs etc.

supply and demand but this hurts the economy more so than youd think
