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

[Foxplay]

Sorry not classic

As much as I think it would be good overall.... its not classic which is completely against the point of this server

WTB green server no MQs of any kind and all gear is no drop.

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.

FV server was the opposite--most items were tradable.

I started to play on p1999 around the end of January 2018 after quitting EQ live back in 2006.

You've been playing on this server for less than 5 months and you already think you're entitled to a mage staff? There are people on this server that have been here for nearly a decade that still don't have an Earth staff.

Millennials...

Oh, you're right, I misread that post. An all no drop server would just be weird; it wouldn't really even be EverQuest.

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...)

you don't feel challenged?

To be fair, I think you're misunderstanding or misrepresenting his point. OP isn't asking for an epic item to be given to him, which would be entitled. He's offering what he thought was a solution to a problem from his viewpoint, to allow more players the opportunity to complete their epics while reducing a pseudo-monopoly built from greed. It doesn't really matter how long he's played here or how long someone else has gone without any of the items in question, his opinion is still just as valid as anyone's.

The problem is, it's not keeping with the spirit of the server. And it wouldn't work even if implemented, as it would just cause more problems and less epics.

OP is likely just frustrated, as we've all been in this game at various points, either on live or here on P99. The endgame is a marvelous shitshow, of that I think almost everyone is in agreement - and he'll either embrace the grind, or walk away and move to something else. But there's no need to be dismissive of him or to equate him to an entitled millennial. Just my two cents.

Damn that's either some epic sarcasm or you live in some alternate reality where the word skill means time.
