If you have ever seen how Chardok aoe operates you already know it's a big RMT scheme.

You don't have to travel far on the internet to see people selling it for cash per pull.

post in the petition forum, the staff seems to take RMT very seriously and should be able to help shut it down or at least lessen the impact.

This isn't really news. The staff knows what boards they advertise this stuff on, I just didn't want to put it here for obvious reasons. I was just pointing out that it's pretty well known that Chardok AE is a RMT machine for some people here and it will stay that way as long as it's allowed.

Clarify: as long as AE Chardok is allowed, obviously RMT is not.

I'd put 5$ on that.

Of course, as others have said, it's kind of a lousy zone pre-revamp: there's a reason that Chardok has the AoE group. On live people also AoEed Sebilis, but that won't happen here because people actually like grouping in Sebilis. The same can't be said for Chardok.

Not exactly right or wrong there. The items from chadok randomly drop off anything, making every nook and cranny potentially profitable. Unfortunately, this mechanic + aoe groups has made chardok loot (which is really damn good when you think about it) cheap as crap. Staves of shielding without the aoe groups would cost 10s of thousands of plat for example - but they're common as hell because of the aoe groups.

During double xp weekend when the whole server was crazy ... we took a group and camped the zone out - an area safe from the pulls. The people running the aoe group were polite, no gripes there. The zone out mobs were not in the pull path, and it was a place that wasn't really contested at a time when the whole server was frothing at the mouth and fighting over spawns. I'm rambling, but the point is .... The experience there is fantastic, double xp or no. Yeah a ridiculously good LCY group in a sparsely populated KC might mow through things faster and get faster xp - some seb camps as well - but even just killing those trash mobs at the zone out with a group of 5 the xp bar was moving very quickly. Halve that for non-double xp weekend and it was still moving fast .... and the mobs would get you right to 60.

I would wager that with the current server bloat at the upper levels you'd see a lot more xp groups there if the aoe groups weren't operating 24/7.

-------------

So yes, if chardok had never been pbaoe'able - you'd see people in there hunting. The xp is quite good and it's one of the only high level dungeons in the game that can take you to 60. The loot, likewise, is not terrible at all. It's only 'cheap' and 'not worth it' because of the aoe groups themselves.

How many zones can you hunt dark blues consistently all the way to 60? Not a lot, and chardok is one of them.

One time Briscoe called 'ready' while doing Royals. They wiped, and the rage that ensued could only be caused by someone missing their next RMT payment.

PBAOE spells that hit over 40 mobs should have a small chance to disconnect the user, to properly simulate a dialup connection.

I find it kind of funny that Daldaen, the ultimate classhole who wants DoT damage messages nerfed and thinks people should be forced to take bags out of the bank before opening them, is defending such an obviously non-classic mechanic.
