Extremely pissed AC camp rant ensues

[toolshed]

The last time I quoted from the play nice policy you told me that I should apply to the TMO lawyer squad, so interesting to see you so happy that people are quoting it

A lot of these camp issues can be solved by Velious coming out. That should be the main focus of every possible player and guild

..is what all camp disputes in eq would look like if they happened IRL

Solution: Go camp something else for the 7k and then buy a MQ. Even if you get the AC camp immediately, it's quicker to farm the cash to buy the MQ.

I wanted to respond to that post so badly. "Applying to join the TMO lawyer squad" means throwing every possible interpretation of a rule - regardless of whether or not it really applies - and hoping something sticks. I had an answer to all the points you made, just never had time to type it all out (it was a long and impressive post, and I get a sick enjoyment when people try to lawyer my own rules and the way they are written)

Yes but those ^ seem contradictory. Maybe my reading comprehension is lacking its late.

I think it's late. I don't really see where the confusion is coming in. His post never mentions the original camp holder leaving the camp - just that the camp would likely get handed to "Dave" (the person who was supposed to be up next, but is running a few minutes late) instead of "frank" (the guy who jumped on the first PH after the handoff was supposed to occur)

I am Phry, I do not camp AC but did...twice.

The problem seems to be population, greed, popularity/nessesity of the item, and rarity of AC spawn. Can we resolve this? Did Changing the SRO spawn help? Could we bring that back and the one in Karana to help--- and when is Velious comming out? I don't think we will change people being greedy or trolling. Seems like any rules that get changed will only make matters worse for people w/o the boots.

I have heard rumors of a new server with a correct time line some time after Velious. Will we have the same problem there with no solution?

If someone who does not like me would agree then I know I'm right.

I sure hope so, it's the only way to experience Velious geared appropriately, as opposed to having your 4th epic'd alt with gear from farming top loot for years.

Yes when Velious plays itself out the same problems will exist but to a lesser degree. But that's more related to the server end of life since Velious is as far as they are going. Then you either close up shop or start over again.

Or you could implement another welfare program like they have done on the current server, since it's basically the same as what the government does: print more money and give handouts to the "poor".

If it was suppose to be handed to me next, then it should just go to the next person in line. I have no need for jboots.

I know I'm probably hugely underestimating the amount of work/time/resources this would take but what if there was a new server created in which being able to corpse items and MQ is eliminated. All the people that don't like dealing with that crap can move to a server they deem is more fair.

Yeah, I know, we are trying to be "classic" here but it looks like the general population doesn't even wan't classic when it comes to farming items.

This way all the unemployed folks can poopsock items to their hearts content only to find that no one is online to buy their crap anymore. What would be the biggest complaint if being able to corpse and MQ items was gone, I wonder?

that it's not classic, and (copy and pasting my post from the poll thread)

if a guild member manages to find the AC camp open and wants to monopolize it in order to get their guildies booted, that's their prerogative

as is someone who wants to spend their life mindlessly killing PHs to corpse rings for MQ

just because it doesn't agree with your expectations of what a positive experience should be, doesn't mean there should be a rule against it

once you get jboots, whats next? unfair that hierophant is perma camped? tranix? seb king? epic mobs? kunark dragons? vp?

there's a game that caters to people with your opinion of a positive experience

everquest live

the best part about this server is none of our opinions matter

praise nilbog

praise game developers who have a creative vision and stick to it
