Remove MQing from Epics - Page 3

Willing to listen to reasonable arguments.

I did spend quite a bit of time making sure all those quests, individually perl written, were mqable, because that's fucking classic.

The argument you're trying to make, I think, is for the lower level players not being able to get them with platinum.

So, the same as anything else, I want to certainly try the classic method before modifying anything. As an example you mentioned, variance.

MQs are what allow those who can't be in the top guild to still get a shot at top items and motivation to keep playing. Nothing wrong with that.

non troll, non sarcasting, asking politely questions for nilbog

Do we allow epics to be MQable ONLY because at the moment we think its classic?

Do you think its fair for clerics or w/e to have to wait in line for their epic mobs because some high level is farming a full epic MQ?

Are you willing to change it if you can be convinced its better for the server like variance?

Also i remember epic items straight out rotting in kunark/velious. perhaps most of my server was too dumb to know about epics being MQable i dunno.

I refuse to believe that Verant intended for these items to be bought with plat. Epic Quest, not Epic Trade. Again my example is people camping all the cleric epic mobs so they can sell the full MQ. What about the clerics actually trying to camp their own epic? It just goes against classic EQ mentality imo.

Since this is RNF i cant edit posts so inc quaddrouple post rage.

This would allow casuals to raid with the big dawgs for a chance at epic item rots.

I don't think this will work in the way you want it to

It would be nice, but I see guilds selling loot rights/giving to alts/deleting before letting someone take their rots.

Fixt.

The greedy lock-downers will find a way to continue to make pp off those incapable of completing these raids on their own.

Without epic mob rotation, you're going to join TMO or farm your pp either way. Rotation is the fix, not breaking MQ.

i see shammies do it all the time (help raid for tears)

it is classic to allow rot drops to goto PUG. i mean, i know p99 is way more hardcore than my live blue server but still. the problem is you already created a market for these things. so ya people will still want to get paid for loot rights sometimes.
