Do not allow gnoll fangs to drop if killed by a level 18 and above

[Pinolian]

Yonkec , I am not boasting. Rather I was refuting the accusation that I am essentially crying because I cant get a gnoll fang and that perhaps I would enjoy wow instead.

Anyone remember camping the "ledge" with a 3-4 man group in 1999?

5-6 spawns, 3-4 people.

Gonna take my monk into CB and slaughter everything then tease all the newbies for not being able to handle a little "competition".

You people truly are children of god.

I personally believe that the whole point of the gnoll fang quest, CB belts, etc. is to teach new players how to grind. It's a behavioral reinforcement to solidify habits that will get you to 60. Imagine it's the year 1999, Everquest has just come out for the first time, and there's a shitload of 15 year olds who got what they thought was going to be like a Baldur's Gate or Diablo kind of game, log in, make a character, and start running around all over the place looking for mobs. Great, but when they get to around level 10 and the game begins transitioning into a dungeon camping game, someone needs to help them understand that there are no longer places like EFP or Misty Thicket where you can run all over the zone until you find a bat or a skeleton. They need to understand that what you're supposed to be doing in this game is to sit down in a single room in a dungeon and kill everything that spawns in or around it for 10 hours. Creating a significant, repeatable quest turnin item that drops at a static camp encourages people to sit down at it and repeatedly kill spawns.

It seems archaic now, because 15 years later who doesn't understand how to grind exp? But if you think about it, WoW players really still don't. At least, the ones who didn't go from EQ to WoW when it came out. That sad, sad generation of teenagers whose sole mmo experience has been "click the LFR button, get auto-queued and zoned into a raid, rush through the halls of the zone for 20 minutes without speaking a word to anyone, click "get item," equip your new loot"

Instance the dungeons like these. There I said it! Maybe something they could do after this server goes custom.

I remember the ledge, that's where the big dogs hang out slangin spiked collars. Trivial loot code would be so lame

I'm not condoning the behaviour but you're going to have to learn to deal with it. Today's level 22 hoarding gnoll fangs in bb is tomorrows level 59 farming haste belts in guk.

You might think the content is behind them, but many people will do whatever it takes to 'get ahead' even if it means putting the screw on the 'competition'.

If you are really unhappy with the gnoll fang situation, and want to improve the server for all, perhaps it is worth doing some research to argue the case that the xp reward is excessive and file a thread in the bug section of the forums?

I can't imagine trying to group with OP post 20's if he's crying this loud over a few pixels in blackburrow. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Hope you're playing a solo class bro.
