Almost a week since the creation of this thread and scout is still a joke and still terrible. Lets keep the idea/action train chuggin

Amen. To me out of the changes presented so far the level 55+ restriction seems like the best suggestion that is also still viable to implement.

"Best" is relative. None of these suggestions counter abusive behavior between players, none counter an ongoing abuse/exploit of game mechanics, none promote a more "classic" feel to gameplay. therefore each and every one of them is terrible in the context of Project 1999.

There is a pretty obvious underlying method to our p99 overlords' madness, it's not at all about giving shiny pixels to you personally.

Since 2015 according to this. Also I said it was because they were lame, but iirc they were actually removed at some point on live as well. I didn't have them when I played, but I didn't play in 1999.

I would agree with the OP’s suggestion if it weren’t for the “friend or buyer” bullshit. If you’re not there to complete the quest for your own toon, get lost.

That is the one thing i like best about the roll vs. the clickfest.

Problem with the clickfest was that ultra-low ping toon (not naming names) had huge advantage, I beat him once in maybe 30 tries. I benefited from the clickfest (he was in my guild) but I'm not comfortable with it. Roll as is now is such a huge improvement that it seems silly (and selfish!) to me to be whining about the details.

If you really care, then keep it amongst the players (no staff involvement!) and convince everybody to refuse to help kill for toons under level XX so lowbies would have to bring their own killforce. That would be legit, imo. This demand to have staff enforce a minimum level feels like the sort of entitlement attitude that makes so many of us despise the hanger-on zerglings that join the supposedly elite dkp guilds so they can boast about their fancy pixels they get for answering batphones. After all, levels in this game are primarily about time spent logged in, and how in hell can any rational person consider that anything special?

In fairness, some “elite DKP guilds” are capable of completing content with low / adequate numbers. Don’t lump everyone into Aftermath’s ‘just throw corpses at it’ mentality.

You'll never win a popular vote trying to take away casual's ability to get free loot from a roll.

staff should throttle everyones connection so we all connect at the same dial up speed.

Make EQ classic again

If people are trying to use third party programs to get a hand in completed (and it's proven) it should be a permaban on the account.

Not sure what happened to Catherin but I don't think he lost his account for the Ragefire shenanigans a few years back.
