Green mob plat farmers.

[pathius41]

I've said it before and I'll say it a thousand times, get rid of MQs and these problems go away. You can still camp your green cons if you need to but there will be none of this selling J boots so there will be no need for 60s to camp those mobs unless they actually need the boots or any item that is now sold for MQs for that matter.

If they did away with MQing then the price for everything would sky rocket. The economy would take a hit and the game would become unfun. MQ supports recharges, raiding, and also helps people get things they generally couldn't farm by themselves.


MQ is apart of EQ.

heaven forbid people would have to actually play the game to get their pixels

and on live Tholuxe to be exact, we never used these recharge crap for raiding, never once did we farm soulfires or all carry WC caps around or use idols from HHP orc camp, those things are not needed, they are a crutch. In fact we also didn't have 5 years of Kunark to gear everyone, so that makes it even more sad that you raid cucks cant get it done with out use of said crutch.

People do play but somethings just aren't solo-able. So you play and farm other things in order to obtain that which isn't obtainable.

It's just common sense.

The OP is right. The people who disagree with the OP are part of the dysfunction on P1999. They have been wallowing in their greed and avarice for so long that they've lost their sense of propriety and look with contempt on anyone that dares to tell them the truth. Most are farmers themselves laughing all the way to the Freeport bank as they save up money for another fungi tunic for another one of their twinks.

The truth is that the professional poop-socking farmers and the EC tunnel rats have this server locked up completely. Every named that drops any gear worth having is farmed 24/7. This is a serious flaw in the design of EverQuest which is a MMO that Brad McQuaid recently admitted they thought most players would actually play for only 2-4 months.

Every item of loot on my characters has been purchased in the EC tunnel except for one item I got in Mistmoore. The lack of itemization for levels 1-40 is a disgrace in EverQuest. Most of the gear people have right now is impossible for them to obtain legitimately via adventuring unless you are 50+. The EC tunnel is really a symptom of this problem.

So in a way the farmers are filing in a void caused by the stupidity of the original EQ designers responsible for itemization, which is akin to how the mafia and the black market fills the void in supplying services to people that are not available legally. Bootleggers who provided the public with alcohol during Prohibition is a good example of this. Bad public policy creates unintended consequences that are often worse than the problem they are trying to solve; the same is true of MMO design.

The design of EQ is so flawed that many players have to resort to killing guards just to make money to be able to afford items that they should have access to via normal adventuring.

At least Blizzard had the smarts to remove the farming and the camping from the equation with WoW. Sure, instancing has many serious flaws and I don't recommend it as a design solution but at least players had a fighting chance at getting gear from actually PLAYING the MMO instead of having to kill green trash or guards for plat.

To the OP, keep on posting truth to power. This jaded community needs to hear voices like yours more often.

This. the amount of pathetic crutchery in this game is...pathetic.

Obtaining items on my own as opposed to buying is much more enjoyable than purchasing. Prices wouldnt skyrocket on most MQable items because no one could sell parts. There would be NO price.
On a personal note only; rading isnt fun particularly on this server.

You are right, MQ's are part of EQ but your idea of fun and mine are worlds apart.

I do both. But when I don't feel like camping something for 72 hours. I will port around for a few days to a week and just buy it. I am still having fun and playing the game.

If MQ didn't exist prices for everything not MQ would go up to make up for the cash not gotten from said MQ. It is a bigger part of the economy then some people think. Mostly the top 20% but that helps keep things down for the rest of the players.

On red I got given an MQ for free. But on the otherside, the previous time I tried to get my own ring on red, someone out of pvp range kill stole the mob whilst I was fighting his little SK buddy for the AC.

Swings and roundabouts.

Is this post for real? OP just uninstall now, this game isn't for you
