Like a direct response to someone claiming it's fair that the penalty he knowingly chose to carry with him is passed on to his group members?

Yes, that's definitely as pointless as saying something like "LOL THERE IS OTHER SERVERS" amirite? Never mind the fact that I was directly replying to someone (not you) as opposed to just throwing out some pointless statement to everyone as if it was some profound point.

Sorry man, best of luck changing things to some version of whatever you think is "fair". I gotta get back to my group with this troll SK in it, too busy racking up XP to worry about this bullshit.

Did you guys know there are EQ servers without the group experience penalties?

Did you know that the group xp penalties were admitted by the Sony devs as a mistake and subsequently removed in order to keep hybrids from being further alienated once people figured out they existed? And that since people already know they exist here and the min-maxers will undeniably make grouping decisions based on that info, it'll be more likely hybrids are going to "get married" or "introduce a brother to EQ" and get an IP exemption so they can play since none of them except bards can solo efficiently?

I sure did! Played long before and long after em.


Sorry, did you guys not really want to have a discussion? It seems like you're just looking for parrots.

Toony, just a question since you seem to be one of the most outspoken in favor of class based xp penalties. During Classic and all the way up until they changed it post luclin, in highkeep there was a bug that let people get into the walls on the second floor, Myself and a necro buddy made loads of cash. He would kill everything on the second floor and I would loot it since he couldn't leave the wall without using gate. Would you be in favor of this returning to the game since it was in classic?

Exploiters should be perm banned.

And don't mistake my desire to see the class penalty remain for wanting it to continue being applied to groups.

Classic purists are the smuggest of the sperglords.

I loved exploits in classic....made the game more fun to discover them..

You didn't really answer the question. Exploiters were banned in classic, but the exploits remained for years, it was up to GM's to catch them and players to tip off GM's.

Or how about something that isn't an exploit, like outrunning most mobs without having to do any fancy tricks. That was certainly in classic as well.

Mobs run faster on purpose, as explained in previous threads
