I will never stop ground transferring in EC. Where’s your sense of adventure people?

Doesn't P99 have a "Play Nice" policy? Is buying items that someone else is obviously recharging "Playing Nice?" It wasn't like the guy innocently bought the stuff. He knew they were recharging and took advantage of the situation. Regardless of it "being dumb they were recharging in a public spot," that's still not a valid excuse to steal their stuff.

The Play Nice Policy very specifically does not cover recharging (or multi-quests): https://www.project1999.com/forums/s...d.php?t=132299

The reason is simple: A) both MQing and recharging are arguably exploits, but are sort of in a gray area, and B) dealing with recharging/multi-questing issues would be a drag on staff time.

So, both mechanics are kept in the game (on Blue at least, Red doesn't even allow recharging I believe), but they are very explicitly "do at your own risk" activities.

Dude...MQing is not an exploit lol.

Quests had that function written in specifically as evidenced by NPCs having text when you turn in individual parts of the quest.

If they weren't, there wouldn't be any no drop quest items in game

remember that time someone stalked the AM recharge bot and then got some true clickies when they were recharging? I'm recalling puppet strings, maybe a bladestopper and/or earring of frozen skull? If anyone remembers this SCANDAL, I want testimony!

puppet strings
bladestopper

yep

we didn't get it back from the GMs

Dick move but the reactions were pretty hilarious.

Everybody in those logs seem gross and troubled.. OP knows what he's doing.. Lack of any real conversation with the other clowns prove it. Others are still clowns. All of you involved need to take a break. Jesus Murphy.

It's a problem with the server and rules more than a problem with the players.

Exploit intentionally left in the game in the name of being 'classic'.

No rules or CSR support regarding it because it's an 'exploit' (even though at this point, it's intentionally there).

Raid scene pretty much requires usage of this mechanic in order to compete.

Players use the mechanic to try to compete, other players take advantage, no CSR support because fuck you, result -> forum drama.

Has happened before, will happen again until the rules change.

Yeah that's definitely why they have dialog. Only possible explanation.

What would be another reason? Its a sign that developers planned Quest turn ins to be done one at a time and notify people around via /say when the step has been turned in...

Sounds like a mechanic for community questing to me.
