It's pretty funny if it is. Well done indeed. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

think its pretty clear what we have uncovered here with the scout. Wish you guys would call out all the people that do it on blue server, every single camp is rotated by /cough "plat farmers" /cough.

Paying someone for a MQ on scout tools is quite possibly the dumbest thing I've ever heard of happening on this server. It might make sense if it were to twinks, but you people are entirely able do this yourself, and are somehow still choosing to enable this shitfest. It takes like 3 people. Do it your freaking self and stop making everything a GD plat farm.

I honestly don't see how someone new to the server could see posts like this and not go screaming the other direction. Great work guys.

You're absolutely right. I've been playing since September and the closer to 60 I get the more asshattery I see pushing me away.

i got to 50 on the blue server before i had enough of running into long lines to get an item already, that was ok. Thats classic. What wasn't was going to do part of my epic and keep trying to get on the list repeatedly only to find out its an "plat farm" crew that never comes off the spawn and in order to get your very small part epic piece its going to cost u 20k.

So you pay the 20k and ur like fine whatever i got that over with. on to the next item, lets go camp an SMR. ok slight wait, 2 people ahead of me. no big deal. Wait my turn, get the camp. a couple hours later. great i get my robe and move on to my next camp.

Get on over to my next epic item camp, and there are 3 people just sitting there, they never reply, nothing. i ask to get put on the list, no reply ever. i finally get there attention and they say yea yea, we will add you to the list. only to find out old song and dance, they never leave the spawn so how does a list enforce jack shit. eventually they tell you, for 20k we will kill it for you. So you start realizing, i just paid 20k for my last very minor epic quest piece. and now someone is trying to charge me 20k for this other minor quest piece. I simply do not have the plat for this 2nd epic piece let alone the other 10 minor pieces that i most likely will have to buy because the "plat farmers" never leave the spawns.


This is leveling up and gearing for a new player in a nutshell. and it's def not classic.

That's fucked up. Do guides support extortion and allow for sockers to literally hold a camp that is needed for epic pieces and charge for their "services"?

I hope not.

as long as the sockers, or what i like to call "plat farmers" (we know the real term for them is) follow the rules, add u to the list(it never goes anywhere) and comply with the rules they can stay at the camp all they want.

The only time they will come off it is if you petition them and the guide asks them to let you get a chance at the spawn(key word ASKS, they don't have to leave). I played live from 2 months before kunark launch to the end of PoP, not once did i ever have to contact a GM to ask people nicely to let me have a chance at the camp. lol.

Eh some of us have other things to do than to sit there and wait for her to spawn while spam clicking trying to turn in the tools against a dozen others. I would gladly spend 20k if it means I don't have to do that and then bother a few others to come and help me kill captain.

Easy solution to it: make it /random like the 8th ring. The way it is done now is pretty awful. I don't want to sit there and spam click and hope I can win the turn in against some neckbeard trying to get a bracer for his 7th alt.

theres no variance to scout window, she pops 10hours (i think) on the dot, each and every time.
you log in for 20 secs, spam click for 5 secs and your done. Your not camping this for 10+hours, unless you like doing things the hard way.
