Everything should be no drop

Every time I see a post subject and think "Boy, that sounds retarded," it is authored by Arclanz.

no offense, but this idea is stupid.

Seriously, Arc. Just come out of the closet and admit that you're butthurt by everyone who 1) is higher level than you, 2) has more pp/gear than you, 3) has more playtime than you, 4) has more fun than you.

You complain about everything you can possibly think of that could drag everyone else down to your level. Wahhhh, PL ruins the server. Wahhh, twinking ruins the server. Wahhh, we need a server reset. Wahhh, I can't have fun unless everyone else is held down to my level.

No, OP.

That's a stupid idea.

It is loathsome arriving at a camp only to see it coveted by some farmer(s). Which explains why I played on this server for less than two months; and that was two years ago.

It might work if you made substantive changes to the loot system.
As the system works now you really need to be able to buy some stuff with certain classes, since otherwise you would get it far too late.
Take for example a cheap magic weapon to kill wisps, or a fine steel weapon for general killing. These would be beyond the ability of anyone to get where they would be useful.

One of the things which was a nice addition in WOW over EQ was the random loot part. After you killed enough mobs you would get so-so loot. Of course most people either had alts or tradeskills to buy better stuff at the AH, but it wasn't essential. With random loot it would make having it all nodrop possible.

Anyway, it's not my cup of tea. I rather like the idea of having a market and if anything would go the other way of having everything droppable. (as they did on the roleplaying server on live) It does make a problem with farmers, but I see the solution to that in putting key monsters in instances and possibly limiting the number of times the instance can be run if its all droppable. (Yeah I know some of you like the "competition" for spawns.)

All pretty moot really. Might as well just play a different game.

Interesting idea, but would make platinum trivial [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Topics like this should be droppable IMO.
