All this MQ flying around

[webrunner5]

I don't think in this day and age EQ is fair at all to the average player on here. How many people that have real jobs and families on here really have the time to camp the top tier stuff for hours straight, and unless you do, you never have the plat to even buy high dollar MQ's. So you are screwed either way. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I know it has sort of been that way from the start. But when you were a teenager in your moms basement, sneaking on the game in the middle of the night, people had time lol. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

So have no clue how old OP is but I would not hold your breath getting top tier stuff unless you are willing to get divorced or lose your job, which means you HAVE to move back into your moms basement lol. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I disagree to some extent. the fact that you can buy a MQ for an epic means that people that work and dont have time to camp stuff are able to get their epics one day.

anyone can log on for a short amount of time and slowly make platinum, casuals cannot sock rage fire and get a group fiends together for that fight.

Nothing gets cock blocked anymore except for Ragefire. Thank the people that buy or sell cleric MQs. If people stopped buying them, they would stop selling them.

The other popularly sold epic MQs (shaman, monk, rogue) don't really experience a cock block by others farming them.

It is easier now more than ever to get epics yourself. Every guild on the server that can be killing things is getting access to them to do so.

I don't know I'd go that far but I get you.

I'm 25 with a career and a casual player. I've been here since August 2013 and my only character is a 51 shaman. I'm at the point in my epic where I have to kill the blackdire. I do not have the time (nor the the desire to, should I have the time) to sit around for 3-4 hours camping the Advisor spawn and getting together a group capable of killing black dire. But hey, that's EQ.

I recently started on red and got a chanter to 22 (thanks to a kind twinked rogue and his druid friend) PLing me. I think he is going to be my new main.

what items are you looking for

most the time MQers ( esp for epics ) will step aside when a legit non-twink character comes along trying to complete their quest

at least thats what I do....most the time

Easily the most dishonest thing I've ever read on these forums.

You can repeat the envy/woe and first stage of the quest like 40 times or so to get max faction if you have a porter friend. Yeah it takes a lot of time but that is how i got it thanks to tmo camping further shaman MQ for their alt or MQ

Yup shaman epic is one of the easiest for casuals to do. The tear and a couple group fights is all you really need to do.

In fairness Canni Dancing is super tedious. Can make a hotkey but if you get a fizzle or lag spike etc it gets all annoying.

My main is a bard, dont get started on tedium...

Easy to bypass at least.

Even doing the whole quest isn't too bad though.

I think there is an unfortunate cycle of "raid scene requires 500 toons camped everywhere" + "kunark out for years" -> huge demand for alts. This is satisfied by the Bard/Chardok AOE factory which pumps out hundreds of toons who then need epic MQs because people don't want to legitimately start from scratch again.

Solution: nerf AOE spells to give a chance to LD if they land on more than 30-40 mobs. Fix the raid scene to rely less on camped toons. Require L50 for epics. Fix sneak pulling. Get Velious out even if it's buggy. The people that care about server firsts here need to be taken out and beaten with a hose: it's not a server first when you can read the guidebook telling you exactly what to do. And then release a new server which isn't going to be overfarmed by Chardok AE/invis pull exploits/etc.
