Don't buy players overpriced retro-nerf items

Let's be honest for a second.

The shit gets nerfed, as in, at a certain point - the shit that drops - at that point - will be nerfed. Not the items that are being sold. It won't overnight have it's stats changed, unless I am seriously mistaken.

I Don't know if you are new to EQ or not but it seems you are seriously mistaken.

MCT and Fungi Robe did get a retroactive nerf on live.

MCT is currently 3 10 primary/second, which is amazing. At some point, assuming they do what was done on live, all MCTs will be nerfed to secondary only and shortly after will stop dropping.

Fungi Robe, again assumming devs follow what was done on live, will have its regen ability removed retroactively. For some reason it also stayed on as the rare IIRC for quite some time and Fungi Tunic remained as the common drop for all of Kunark and maybe all of Velious too.

So while overpaying for a CoS may seem kind of crappy, someone buying a MCT or fungi robe is gonna get a rude awakening one day if they didn't already know what was going to happen.

It probably isn't going to happen but it would be cool if maybe the Devs could add some text on the item stating that it will be nerfed to such and such stats at a later date so people aren't ripped off.

I think they should just make an official sticky of Kunark era items that get retroactively nerfed, and those that don't, just so everyone has the ability to see it, and know upfront. There was a thread about it but it was disorganized and all over the place, just needs to be a list and thats it.

Not everyone visits this site though. The ideal way, if they wanted to warn people would be to put it on the item.

I am pretty sure devs are gonna try and keep nerfs close to the way they were on live.

I am so curious though - Why is it the Dev's responsibility to notify a player that something is to be nerfed?

I have heard of some lazy shit, but this...is veeerrry lazy. Alt tab from your XP grind and google stuff. Back in 99 nobody had the resources we have to KNOW stuff is going to get nerfed. Be thankful we have a heads up!

If you buy something without knowing the item history and later it gets nerfed /qq in the mirror cause you were the dumbass who didnt do the research.

meh.

No, shitting on people's already seriously sad motives has become a past time with my morning consumption of alcohol. You sir, are the victim of my enjoyment this morning. You and your horribly terrible rant. I can only fathom how angry other people make you outside of EQ, based around the same pretenses here.

My mind is wandering.

I was unaware that you were the moderator for R&F. My apologizes to the -still -butt hurt guy who has nothing better to do than rain on peoples parade on a forum that a few hundred people at max view.

I'll let it go at this, I know you probably cannot possibly let yourself leave the thread without making the final comment, as you seem to be that kind of guy. So please go ahead and get your last meaningless post in, and tab back over to trying to sell your MCT for 100k to some hopeless moron in EC.

RL is equally as hard as EQ, Spok.

Real talk.

Yeah now I just need to find some RL exploits so I have the coin to buy overpriced computers from Dell and the like.

To make this brief:

1. People are entitled to the facts on the items they're purchasing.
2. If they buy those items fully aware of what is going to happen to them, that's their prerogative.
3. If you're getting mad because of the fact that you're trying to be deceptive, that's shitty. I'm not by any means pointing fingers or blame, just keepin' it real.
