This is still being discussed amongst the developers. I fully support it.. I don't know of anyone on staff that doesn't. The issue lies in developmental time to implement and best methods.

I just want to reiterate that it is high on my agenda.

thanks nilly! i wasn't trying to pressure anything...was just reminding the community that simulated patch days also served its purpose especially when velious came out to clear out armor MQ's. But i will mention that GMs would reimburse for fubar'ed MQ's especially for velious armors...

it's happened to me before...I can understand not supporting it for something like jboots and cheap stuff...but when HoT BPs were getting eaten cause of botched MQ's...many panties were soiled, so GMs helped out in that regard

killing the quest npc will clear it.

TLDR: 50+ hours of environment evaluation and coding pre-implementation, plus time each cycle to monitor the conditions of the environment post-patch (i.e. ensuring mobs actually spawn appropriately, and service time that will inherently be required to address raid scene issues due entirely to the fact that a host of raid spawns will suddenly be available or will be due upon server reset)

MQ should be eliminated. Problem solved.

GMs back in the day had a lot of discretion...they would sometimes reimburse failed MQ stuff, even though it was not supported by the CSR officially.

It often took many days of waiting for a petition to be answered by someone who you then had to hope was willing to help you. Usually, you just took your losses and moved on.

MQ'ing is very risky. Between EQ bugs and scammers people were much more reluctant to roll the dice on live then they are here.

resetting vendors makes it hard to find spiderling silks / random pages / other stuff that lower level players don't take time to sell to other higher level players.
