I don't think anyone was commenting on whether the price is fair vis a vis the market. They were commenting on the insanity of being willing to pay that price for a useless epic.

Yeah exactly. I thought shams paying 150k for tear MQ's on green is insane, and that epic is at least useful.

Sorry our classic server doesn't believe in classic epics.

*Well, mage epics at least; I don't want to overgeneralize.

Obviously plenty of other epics can be completed by actually playing the game as designed (vs. having to play EconomyQuest to purchase it from a farmer .... something that rarely, if ever, happened back in '99-'01).

Not sure how it's not classic. It's a contested drop. Don't want to pay for it get a group together and go track and contest...just like classic

On classic, guilds raided for the epic. Here, one person farms it and other people buy it. How do you not see a difference?

Loramin do you play Green anymore?? Castle gets most Magis these days. If not for Diddlydee having an option on the market Castle would literally have it completely locked down. They track 24/7 with a ranger and afk necro scripter.

I do play on Green, and just got my epic a couple weeks ago ... but I got my staff awhile back (when Castle was still pretty dominant in Hate, though not as much as you say they are now; Diddly was getting more kills than they were I think).

But my point remains: none of it is classic. In classic, no one had "Hate trackers", because no one ... well first of all, 99.9% of the players didn't even have an extra 45+ level character to leave up in Hate, let alone one with track ... but even if they did, they didn't know about anywhere in the zone that they could leave said character.

For all we know, there was no "safe spot by the pillar" in Hate on live, and it's just a fluke of Nilbog's (inherently imperfect) re-creation here. But whether there was or not, eliminating it here would make Hate so much more classic. Instead of tracking Hate (as no one in '99 ever did) we would all have to actually send groups/raids of people to Hate just to find out if Magi or other epic mobs are up. Diddly and his ilk would be eliminated, and motivated guilds like Castle would still get Magi: classic as fuck.

Isn't the point of this place was to bring back the '99 experience?

Just like half the stuff on the wiki this is false

[Ciderpress]

Other guilds do get earth staffs usually on quakes. Castle is a massive zergforce but they do not have it 100% locked down.

All beside the point; it's still completely insane to pay 1mil plat for a mage epic.
