FYI

[Versus]

I don't know, I was just bored and wanted to sling some shit. On the 2nd page, Kav says he "promptly" gave the GEBs back to Bob after the scammer bet them.

It's irrelevant. I just assumed that everyone thought it was OK to scam a scammer, and I thought it awfully hypocritical. Not trying to pick on Kav or discredit his rep, just wanted people to think about it.

You answered your own question.. Igs "abacabbish"...it's classless,tasteless, and serves no purpose other than to punish one user.. If I have the ac camped.. I have a list.. I give the spawn up.. I go sell ring.. Then I come back and wait my turn to camp it again..

This is so silly.. You move straight from the false premise that there is nothing wrong with a one man half monopoly to talking about how much more classy it is to camp and sell or destroy a rare, no drop item you can't use than to kill a rare spawn NPC you can't quest with.

...

It's like.. The ring was made no drop in the first place for a reason and it probably had a lot to do with discouraging this exact kind of behavior.

That was the exact purpose of making things nodrop.

Exploiting the bug in mechanics that allowed people to multiquest is getting around that.

It's not really a bug in the mechanics, though. It's been specifically coded to be allowed on this server.

Yeah, here.

It's added to mimic that exploit. Trying to say it's not an exploit is outright lying, or simple ignorance.

On live it was an exploit. Here it isnt. To call it an exploit when it was coded and everyone was told it was going to work that way, is just plain stupidity.

The game mechanics in play on this server are intentionally derivative of 1999 classic EQ game mechanics of which this was, and still is, an unintended exploit.

You can go ahead and argue current (PEQ era) game mechanics and intentions but this is a classic server and you will go nowhere quickly. Please just accept the fact that MQ was re-enabled to be classic and NOT to let ass hats farm JBoots 24/7 because they know 4 in 5 classes NEED them eventually.

Nothing more classic then unaddressed exploits.
