Scout Quest is Going Away (Woot)

I like loot as much as the next person.

My opposition to the Scout meta is not personal, it's just me remembering that the point of this place is to recreate EQ from '99-'01 ... and recognizing that there were no lottery tickets in '99-'01 (unless you count EC Tunnel gambling).



I disagree: it's not a perfectly classic "dark guild", because guilds had a very clear definition in classic ... and it wasn't "everyone on the server who wants to do quest ____".

Classic EQ was about friendship and camaraderie with your team, something you Jimjam seem to appreciate more than most posters. Lottery tickets are one more reason for everyone to stay in their anti-social bubble and avoid pursuing that camaraderie with a (real) guild.

No guilds no masters. Power to the people!

You can't very well go back to scout to being "discoverable". People know too much.

Just simulate the kill crew you would have summoned from your guild.
