This is a legitimate post and these non classic changes seem pretty dumb, since there are some rock solid exploits happening anyways.
And none of them are exploits just game features milked dry. Don't know what to say Add money back to the rogue guild smuggling quest in rivervale too geez I only did that quest during beta when multi boxing was allowed (ran 16 dudes back and forth for platinubs) but no one ever did it for money besides that one time. | ||

Simple fix: throw out all quest XP reductions/eliminations, across the board. Replace them with a simple (unclassic, but way more classic) limit: you can only get X% (10%? 20%?) of your XP from quests.
This solution requires very little programming for the devs: they just track your "XP from quests" in a separate DB table, and then when "XP from quests" > X% of your total XP, quests stop giving XP. This addresses the devs' core concern: people in classic generally didn't level off bone chips! It also addresses any other possible quest XP "hack" anyone can ever invent: it doesn't matter how many accounts you have, how many items you save up ... you have to play the game and kill stuff (at least 100% - X% of the time). But it does allow for normal players, playing classic EQ, to see their bar move when they turn-in the Crushbone Belts they earned in Crushbone.

Based on the XP rates listed on the wiki and the wiki XP per level table, I am going to guess you need about ~1000 scrolls to go from 51 to 60. That fits on 50 accounts. You definitely want someone to help you with this, it halves the number of login/logouts you need to perform and removes the problems with drop transferring.
I'm not really surprised people were doing this, as its the obvious go-to for "leveling" while the cap is still 50. Likewise, its not very surprising they blocked it. I am a little more surprised they blocked all quest XP, but I was helping at least one person do research on XP awards for little done quests; he called the gnoll scroll nerf ahead of time, so there were definitely backup plans in motion that this also squelched. It still would have been possible to execute this the day before Kunark dropped and repeatedly corpse yourself, then hire clerics to 90% rez you to 60 after it dropped. It would run the risk of Rogean doing something silly like disabling rezzing in qeynos though, which would be brutal.
