So when did everyone make 100 alts to camp every raid target at once?

2-boxing lol. Pick any other server on the EQemu list that isn't P99 and enjoy your boxing there. Else there's a new server recently launched that caters for such things.

If there was a new server (no point, the existing population isn't high enough) then I'd want account sales banned, no boxing and no MQs. Fun would be allowed, in small measures.

If classic EQ had instancing, that would have solved a lot of problems.

Account selling is a serious problem that has affected both servers in negative ways, but even if it were not allowed it would still happen some and blue would still be in the terrible place it is. The real solution is, and always has been, pvp. If the majority of players on blue don't like their endgame, I really am confused as to why so few of them have come to red.

I think it's being blown out of proportion. On Live you would occasionally get someone in a pick up group that didn't know their class. Or was really lame (I remember a monk puller on Live not returning after several minutes, so I went out and found them fd and afk in an empty hall). I think you could E-bay characters early on in Live? I dunno, anyway, if someone sucks, leave the group, or if everyone else agrees tell them to beat it. Most of us are older now with more responsibilities and have less time to waste on deadweight.

Yes you could, and plat sales were a regular feature as well. I can't remember who I sold my Live account to but it was after the banhammer on eBay got dropped, had to do it through a third party site.

All i'm saying is when account trading gets banned inflation will be huge. People thought it was bad over the last month or 2. What does everyone think people are gonna do with their plat they have from not buying accounts? Buy all the twink gear they can for all the toons they want to level up and then pay people to PL them. Any zone with good XP is gonna be gone for casual players to use. Personally i buy/sell accounts because its easy to flip them and make a profit. To each their own.

You mean I get to sell my HQ Bear Skins for 2kpp? Cool!

[Swish]

I forget who but someone suggested a custom title, or guises or something else in exchange for a massive chunk of plat....something like 250k or so.

I think it would work as a stopgap at least, drain some of the plat out of the economy. I wonder if there's 1 billion plat on the server as it stands?

Why are you communists talking about plat reduction?

[stonez138]

Believe it or not, there are lots of people who actually like the competition that mobilization and the mechanics on this server bring.

If by lots of people you mean TMO then you are correct. If you think any other guilds like the raid scene in its current state, then you need to remove your head from your anus.
