Anyone remember when NPC's given items would equip/use them?

They unclassicly nerfed putting items on mobs and being able to loot them after. Really should be reverted.

It was done to prevent exploits, not a simple nerf.

This is on a long list of things I'd like corrected.


Send prayers to Haynar.

I thought the GBS proced on the wielder,not the target, and therefore was only used by twinks below level 45. (Or is that the joke? He was removing debuffs from himself)

Yup he was removing debuffs from himself. Malo, Cripple. It made a big difference, especially when he was 36% hasted.

The nerf on live was because mobs would drop ANYTHING you handed them. People were using it to trade no drop loot.

That said, the live nerf only fixed the no drop part, so NPCs would return "I have no use for this item, name" if you handed them no drop stuff. They still used and dropped any coin and tradeable items.

Used to have tons of fun freaking random groupies out by putting items on summoned eyes of zomm and looting them.

You have slain Eye of Xelris!
--You have looted a Fungus Covered Scale Tunic
You tell the group, "Oh sweet."

I think my frivolous petition score was in the teens somewhere.

Also it was fun to put random items on newbie mobs for them to loot

Nice.
