Idea to resolve permanent camping/MQing of Epic quest items for MQ purposes

[Swish2]

Seems there's a lot of people making money off one MQ or another here.

If you want an epic you probably need to either join Aftermath or start grinding lots of Highkeep guards [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Why do you think Highkeep crashed? I was grinding out too many guards...

Its good to reset the vendors there for word/page hunting purposes [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Or camp the mobs yourself.

Not classic

I find it hard to believe your guild favors getting MQ money over you getting your epic.

If that's honestly the case, you need to find a new guild.

I understand the frustration.

I did my Rogue's epic back before the level 46 requirement and sales were everywhere.

It was the easiest epic, so it was popular to camp.

My Rogue was my first character on the server, and naturally I didn't have money, so it was frustrating waiting 12 hours at a camp behind another who already had his epic.

But it's just the way things go, man.

I play a Necro now and when it comes time to get my epic, I will probably go the MQ route (although I do want to challenge myself...)

Git gud

With 2 repops a month on top of normal spawn cycles, is any gear "hard to get" anymore?

I understand what you're trying to say, but the reality of your idea is counter-intuitive. You'd end up with less epics on the server if there were no MQ's. Some of those epic MQ's are so valuable because they're so ungodly rare. If they weren't MQable, you'd be left with two choices:

1.) Join Aftermath and pray to the gods the ultra rare epic piece drops while you're at the raid and that you have enough DKP to outbid everyone else.

2.) Talk to an officer at Aftermath and try to purchase the loot rights to the ultra rare epic drop, and pray to the gods that you're online when and if the item ever drops at 4:07 AM on a Tuesday without the batphone heads up. The price of which, by the way, has now gone up by triple because the item is no longer MQable and so now much more rare.

Would it be nice if people weren't so greedy on a 19 year old elf sim? Sure. But your solution would only create more problems and lead to far fewer epics. At least now you can choose to either put in the time in a top level guild, or put in the time earning plat to save up for those items on your own terms.

Too much rational and clear thinking in this post.
