How many Chardok Pulls?

It's everquest, the entire game is one huge repetitive grind. You think the devs decided that by the time a few classes hit 56 they've had enough grinding, and they decided to make the last few levels easy mode? Or maybe they just felt sorry for wizards.

But hey, they figured out a way to cheat the system, good for them I guess.

I forgot to mention this in the last post. I don't think it's cheating the system either. Why? Because it involves the economy. If someone earns 50,000 PP in the game, for example (which is not as easy as some people make it sound) and said player wants to spend that entire wad of cash on leveling up a bit, was it not earned experience?

I would think that for most players it would be a big decision to liquidate a nice item like a Hiero Cloak, for example, just to level ding 1-2 more levels. That's valid to me.

I think there are two perceived (and sometimes correct) problems with PLing here that are warping people's judgement on this to a significant degree:

1) Assumptions that players paying for PL are using the money from RMT sources

2) PLing that is disruptive and damaging to other players trying to enjoy content/experience

In both of the above cases I think offenders should be heavily disciplined. Even permanently banned. Especially people who PL in newbie/low level zones and try to exploit the ignorance of new/uninformed players that don't report them. That is especially egregious.

Jyll's Wave of Heat- 342 mana. A 120 mob chardok pull makes that a 75,000 damage spell. Actually more than that, but I'm assuming they get some resists.

75,000 damage. That seems like a bit of an oversight to me.

You couldn't train Chardok to the entrance and AOE it down in Kunark. Its definitely not something that was done in Classic EQ.

I think likely its got something to do with the way the server was setup disregarding that people would exploit the knowledge of what was OP and what was going to be nerfed and when.
