Tecmos I believe the Pantheon cash grab/XP pot thing has changed your forum persona [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

How do you mean? I've always been a greed roll kinda guy unless in guild groups (even this is only sometimes - early A-Team especially was pretty much greed rolls in guild groups) or on minor items (you shoulda been playing with my, Sadre - froglok bonecaster robe counts as a minor item).

The problem is the fact that I can make 5k pp in pure vendor generated cash in 1-3 hours at Seafury island and once I've bought enough tinkerer bags for all my chars that pp can be injected directly into the economy again.

Is that true? It had been a looooonnnggg time since I killed any seafuries, but when I was killing gornit for my buddy's mage a week or two ago we also smoked some seafuries between spawns and I think we only saw 1 or 2 decent vendor items (and no more than like 5-10pp per kill coin?) in 12-15 kills. I assumed their drops had been nerfed since I last did them in late classic/early kunark.

Same but i do remember pulling in a few K within a few hours.

My mage friend would earthpet while I played Rogue pet, mainly so I could get free exp and he could get faster cash. To make it easier i would just loot everything and sell in ec after. If you can get the whole island or nonstop furies you can make BANK here.

I did them for the first time on Sunday, maybe I just got lucky on drops? I was getting a 'good' drop probably 3 out of 5 kills. Good drop being fire emeralds which are like 70p?

I also got pretty lucky in that I didn't have toooo much competition. Although it got annoying whenever there was more than 1 shaman around. Freaking dudes taking 10 min to kill using only epic click and rooting 4 at a time. However, once repops began I'd just snag 3 of em and burn them down so fast the shaman got demoralized and logged within 20min.

the reason the devs aren't addressing it is because there is no way to address it. a flawed economy that has lots of negatives is classic. inflation of the value of plat, deflation of the value of non-end-game drops. brad didn't design enough money sinks and so we aren't getting them either, simple as that.

Greed looting is the only way to be fair to everyone involved, all the time.

And lol at thinking you need to play the game like a second job in order to get a crypt group.

Not fair when it's a spell, suppose im just far too classic in my mindset for this server.

When I was actively LFG in old seb, on either my cleric, my shaman, or my rogue playing the game like it's a second job to get into a crypt group was the only way. I've pushed more than 6 55+ through seb during varying times since kunark has been out and it's changed a bit in there. Mind you, my information may be a bit old compared to now, last time I LFGed for seb was probably more than a few months ago; But it was 95% of the time guild groups that were hounding crypt all the time.

I used to make about 1k/hr steadily only clearing 3 of the (8-10?) spawn points.
