That being said I do still appreciate the convenience of buying MQ when I need. I have bought several epics and 4 pairs of jboots.

OP, just don’t go crazy and start murdering Hasten over and over to try to stop the MQ!
Why do you get to make the assertion that MQs aren't part of "the spirit of the game" ??? Are you basing that solely on the use of the word "lore" --- which you interpret to mean only one can exist? By that logic there should only be one of any lore item on the entire server, not just one per character...

MQs are part of the game in classic EQ. I know this because this is an emulator whose only stated mission is to recreate classic EQ...so while you can argue that they shouldn't have been part of classic EQ to begin with, you can't just poof them away by saying they go against the spirit of the game.

The people defending MQing are the dude farming AC rings to buy their epics. It all makes sense now.

The amount of dedication people on this server have to 90% afk the game and pay someone else to play the remaining 10% for them is truly inspiring.

False, the optimal way to poopsock is to cut a hole in the bottom of your chair and poop into a bedpan below it. Then throw some sawdust on it.

@OP - just wait until you're in your upper 50s / 60 in Seb camping King for a fungi tunic and the bard in your group mostly AFK singing mana song wins the roll and puts his 2nd corpse on the ground to loot his 3rd fungi of the weekend.

Because it doesn't make much sense in the LORE of the game (look up the definition of the word if you aren't familiar with it, my post has nothing to do with items that say "lore" in their description) for Player A to do a huge epic quest and then at the last moment hand everything to Player B to turn in for the reward.

"Thank you Lord Slowboy the Hobbit for defeating the dastardly dragons of the swamps of anoos, but since you gave the dragon heads to your buddy here who didn't do shit I guess I will just give HIM the reward!"

I'm fully aware MQ's were a part of the game on live. It was probably an oversight by the early devs. When I say "I personally wish MQs weren't a thing" that is me referring to live as well as the emulated version here. Hopefully this helps!
