I'd be ok if they nerfed all those high XP hand-ins. Belts, shoulderpads, gnollfangs, lightstones, etc. Maybe only allow a character to do a quest/hand-in once. Get rid of all the MQ sellers.
Orc scalps are up to 20pp each in EC lately, its crazy :/

Sounds like level 12-20 getting good exp is a bug.
After 12, it is slowing down. It's mainly laziness. People don't want to level, group, xp, grind anymore. Fangs, Scalps and Belts oh my!

For the lowbies complaining though, lots of places else to go. Obviously, you're in BB for the same reason, the fangs. I know I am and faction, as a Dark Elf.

"Certain" people are kind of funny. They believe that what they 'see' is theirs. *cough* Heebie *cough* Or that a certain area is theirs. This is the case in High Hold Keep as well when actually, its FTT (first to tag) as long as you're not training or making it unpleasant for others. The only camps are named mobs that drop quest or special loot items. It all seems pretty plain and easy to me, BB and HHK are not these kinds of places yet people are VERY belligerent when you want to partake as well. The HHK basement is large, used to be 4-5 different groups down there at once. (I know, it's amazing, that many people being cooperative and kind to one another.)

People use tactics like AOE, root and proximity agro also. There was even a Bard that went through, Jboy I think his name was. That...was very annoying. Especially since if people are fighting and get down in health, mobs will peel off and kill them. And he AOE kited them so it took them a while to die.

Bottomline, if you're getting frustrated, move on, lots of zones to XP and have fun in. If you're not having fun, it's up to you to make it fun for yourself. Other people can be rude and obnoxious but you're the one staying there and taking it. If they are KSing or training you, 'Petition'. That does work if talking to them doesn't.

< trivial loot code sucks >

So does A level 22 douche wiping the zone taking exp away from those of us who could actually get it from the mobs they are killing. Wiping the zone so that there is noting to kill my level.

Things is, its not an anomaly.. ITS DAILY. Daily you will find someone 17 + not engaging mobs that will give exp, but instead laying waste to any gnoll that moves looking for fangs, and actually avoiding commanders etc.

Why not just FIX IT? I know I can go somewhere else. But I should not have to. That is the point. Telling someone to go somewhere else just encourages the douchebags to keep doing it. I mean I could get my druid buddy to AOE the whole place all day long until I get fangs enough to leave.. but is that what is right?

This is why you have rules friend. This is why there are laws against things. Anyone can justify their behavior if there are no laws set. And if there are no laws set, people will do anything.

So fix it with 6 lines of code. jeez

Pinolian: Do what higher level people do, find a camp and stick to it. Anyone kills mobs in your camp, talk to them/report them.

Do you guys not understand the 'classic' restriction? I'm not trying to be a jerk, but there are so many posts saying 'change this - change that' I get the feeling that people don't really understand the deal with this server...they are not going to make arbitrary changes that were not part of the legit timeline.

I might be wrong, of course, but that's my understanding of what this server is supposed to be for - duplication of classic eq even down to the stupid and annoying things.

Dunno the posts I linked indicated that post 12 you need 100 fangs to get each level. Yet on this server you can get a level off 20-30 fangs.

OK, now *that* might be actionable. But they aren't going to make them not drop or implement trivial loot.

Gnoll fangs are literally the only redeeming feature of that shit zone. Without the fangs the experience is terribad and you make zero (0) cash there except for the odd time a cracked staff drops.

If you don't get fangs, you don't get xp. If you don't get xp, dungeon isn't worth it. Find a new dungeon or go hunt outside. Bandits in wk need a good raping too y'know.
