Child's tear

[wrighter00]

The Shaman Epic is far from unattainable. There are a lot of guilds that are able to and do kill the Golems. Be it by race or sock. None that I've seen are too obsessive with it.

Don't let anyone tell you that a PoFear clear for Armor, Minis, and waiting for Golems is any worse than Bard kiting a half zone worth of mobs around while rushing for FTE/kill for the sake of the "race".

Truth be told, any of the capable guilds can or will help you get a Sham epic. Whether it's for a guild member or it's for sale. There is one out there for you. TBH, I don't remember the last time I was in PoFear watching Golem efforts where anyone asked anyone else to team up, share, or rotate. It's always snipe it asap or piggy back to get it for your guild/s. A solution doesn't create itself.

Another thing to note is that multiquesting was never big business back in the day, the same way it is here.

Certainly you'd have guildies and friends helping eachother with MQ's, but selling them were nowhere near as widespread, many players didn't even know about MQ'ing.

I have to agree with Westcreek because I played live from 1999-2001 and I knew players who got to their epic level. They wouldn't even be in a guild but from word of mouth, they would be able to get different guilds and higher level players to help them because it was helping another player out and helping them get their epic. It wasn't about the whole "what's in it for us" or "how much you going to pay" thinking it is now with P99.

This has nothing to do with epics or MQing directly though. It is a function of how folks actually play the game differently on p99 than they did on live. For a great variety of reasons, the core interaction of players is different here than it was on live.

So, even though what you're saying is true I don't see what it has to do with the gripe the OP brought up in the first place. It has to do with everything that happens here.

Well I believe his gripe is that if you want to get your epic on P99 then you either have to join a raiding guild for a chance to obtain the pieces even if you don't like the guild or the players in the guild.

Or you camp an area over and over to make at least 40-60K to buy certain pieces to get your epic.

It is. There's no valid complaint. Epics aren't meant to be easy; they're meant to be the supreme weapons of the era. Through oversight on behalf of SoE, some of them just happen to be easier to complete than others. But it really gets funny when people with easy epics start complaining. Tears about tears? Try being a warrior or bard.

I played from 1999-2001, which I would consider to be classic EQ and I don't recall a single time during those three years that someone had to spend 60K to buy a tear.

I dont begrudge any guild or individual who has access, camps or has the childs tear. If anyone does have one for sale and has max faction plx let attrina or geoffrey know. I'd love to make the purchase, fighting force or no. Thank You [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

This was not a issue on live.
