Multi questing still going strong... so says the economy?

There are lots of situations where being able to MQ quest items is a positive thing. What if a pipe drops in a chardok group and no monk is there to loot it? Would you rather the pipe rot? I think it's good that you can loot one for a friend or sell it to a willing buyer who doesn't want to waste their time camping it. Most of the time it makes items more accessible than if MQing weren't possible.

Although it seems like this thread is more about NBG more than it's about whether multiquesting should be allowed.

That's not what I intended, nor did I make it seem that way. Others however twisted it into an debate on NBG.

MQng was Sony saying 'Hi there, we realize some stuff is too hard for more casual players to obtain, so what we've done is introduce multiquesting; items are still no drop and therefore cannot be traded, but with your new innovative system, you can still get your stuff without actually put any effort into achieving it. I know you first era players spent all that time and effort doing it legit, but we have to throw a bone to the EQ players that have a social life."

It's one of those 'classic era' features we could of(and had the power to) do without.

As for the NBG comments, some of you are really void... 90% of all drops, sans anything highly valuable, are offered as NBG. Just because you view the 2k pp item as 'trash' doesn't mean the others don't see it as NBG, and the druid who is in the group can actually use it - to which everyone else says 'man if you need it, take it!'

I'm not sure this is accurate.

I hate this debate so, so much.

I'm tired of reading about it. I hate it so much, that I won't even post how I feel about it.
