As a guild we (BDA) typically only chase after Ragefires when we have new members looking to finish an epic (which is the case at the moment) but the root cause issue of why Ragefire sucks is because there's plenty of farmers that are only there to duo/trio him for the cash. The cleric MQ, CoF, gaunts of fiery might, red scales, the dragon bag, and potentially the no-drop pieces can be sold for a pile of plat.

You are only half right here. The "root cause" is that we are super far behind the time line: the server is bloated with too many high end (lvls and gear) chars on an order that exceeds live probably 30 times over. It is that far out of whack at the moment.

There is virtually no community based solution to this problem. On live, if you did jerky stuff you could at least be shunned by the server community through shaming and rejection from guilds. Here that isn't an issue for jerky people as folks have a dozen max lvl alts that they could care less about injuring a reputation.

The solution? Either an artificial solution created by the devs to compensate for the situation or you need to basically just accept that this is the way the server is. They have said velious is soon, that will help a bit. They have said they have no plans to hit the reset button or start a new blue server. So...my advice is just to accept it for what it is. This is, with all the issues, still BY FAR the best place to play classic EQ.

It also isn't all about the farmers either. You bought that epic MQ? You bought that red scale to finish your epic? ETC. You are just as much a part of the problem (and a recipient of the benefits) on the server.

or they just join TMO where the asshattery is praised and earns them DKP

Really though every server was different. KSing occurred quite a bit (not just turn in sniping).

If they wanted to fix the Ragefire scene they really should just death touch anyone FDed in the lair when he spawns. Too many monks, SKs and Necros Poopsock it.

Or just change him to only accept pearls from a cleric.

But those would be classic feels not classic mechanics :/.

.

I agree but for tranix

[ppdanny]

On our server the CSR staff enforced the lines...

most people socking it arnt even after the Heart itself ( besides to sell ) so if you are a cleric seeking an epic you could barter with some to secure the heart but hand over the rest of the loot with your pearl hand in

[theaetatus]

Well at least you didn't get your Ragefire KSd after handing in a pearl like Indignation did last week.

KSing Ragefire is a total dick move. This deserves some name and shame.

I don't care if the person turned in then died to Magi or gated out. Or if their 20min from turnin expired. That's just evil to steal someone's Ragefire. Especially a cleric who needs it for their epic.
