Greed of players plain and simple.

When you start talking dragon pixels, there are players who's greed show no boundaries. Players early on found ways to cheat other players out of their dragon pixels using exploits or just dirty play.

To try to reel in these players, rules were made.

The same greedy neckbeard players found loopholes and new ways to exploit around the rules, so then more rules are made.

This pattern seems to have continued since p99 raiding came into existence, and so you got what we have now.

Some people blame the staff but in all honesty it's not staff it's 100% player-made problems culminating from greed.

It's sad because it's just fucking pixels.

He was looking for specific examples. If you’re going to post 80 times per day you could at least be insightful.

Personally I think this rule is too draconian. If you are past the zone line when it spawns you should not be able to engage for X number of hours. 1, 4, whatever. In the old days, a 1 hour lock after obtaining FTE was deemed sufficient time to prepare. Why is 1 hour not sufficient to steal a mob from a raid that camped too close? I mean make it 2 or 4 hours. I don’t see how a permanent DQ does anything other discourage dungeon crawling and give any contenders a free loot piñata. If it was designed for Trakanon then it’s outdated, there’s only 1 FTE in sebilis but several or dozens in velious zones
