Make MQ EPIC farming Illegal

Not here to troll just trying to keep it real. I see people every day coveting what other people have but aren't willing to do what those people are willing to do to get it.

Totally ok to not wake up at 3AM when a mob spawns, I don't either. But someone will and they will end up with the reward for it. So can't be mad when they get the epic piece instead of you, they made sacrifices for that opportunity that others didn't.

The great irony is the very thing this thread was designed to advocate against is the thing you should be advocating for. If more people were farming epic pieces to sell loot rights or MQs for then it would be easier for you to obtain an epic without being in a guild or raiding at all and in my experience virtually anything in the game that can be bought is faster, easier, and more enjoyable to obtain with plat than it is to kill the actual mob and get the loot.

There cant be more people farming epic mobs, because they are dead 24/7. Another fix is to make certain epic mobs spawn times shorter, there is 2 much demand for epics on this server to wait 7 days, That would be another option, but then people would farm harder for the other non epic loot.

They can simply put something like instances where the person just clicks the book or something to do the encounter same for plane raids and dragons. And that's it end of farming for profit. Still, such a person will need to have a group or guild lol. Or such a person can just go to Project Quarm and do it there LOL. P99 is P99 either love the poop-socking or get out because the guys in charge of p99 don't care about the casual gamer. And BTW, you don't need twinking or epics to enjoy EQ content leave that to the addicts lol

OP not living up to his forum name.

Guess what, buddy? This is Everquest. You either compete for spawns or farm enough plat to buy a MQ.

This ones headed to RnF and rightfully so. Get fucked.

...if you're not in a raiding guild, you're never going to be able to get any of the high end items any way except by people farming them with farm crews and selling them. If you made selling MQs illegal, you would make it slightly easier for people getting DKP-based epic pieces from killing things with their guild, since they would not have to compete with people buying them with plat from farm crews. But anyone not in a raid guild is basically guaranteed to not get any of the rare epics then.

I gotta wonder how many ppl can pay 800k for an earth staff?

Anyway, selling Epic MQs is fine.

If there's any problem I have it's enchanters soloing hate, but at the same time i do think that's badass. Enchanters in general just have too much power and I'm pretty sure there's a lot of cleric boxing going around.

Almost noone, but then again, that's also the number of people who can actually get earth staves at all regardless of distribution mechanism.

More than the number of people willing and able to sell one.

Shouldn't this post be in rants n flames?

This sort of entitlement is about as classic as it gets. Either raid or not raid. It's quite simple. Raiding on P99 means that you dedicate a substantial amount of time, 24/7, to earn those hot-ticket items.

By not raiding, you best be good at farming solo, or regularly grouping group-content hot-ticket items to sell/trade to earn the coin to purchase a MQ/item.

At the end of the day, your argument, OP, is a timeworn EQ tradition of non-hardcore players wanting everything that hardcore players have without doing any actual work. I say work because hardcore EQ players treat it like a second (or first, even) job.

Life is much more free when you accept the path you choose.

PS: I truly hope for a NBG T-Staff meltdown-type thread when this is ported to RnF.

OP posted a thread in green trade begging for a free child's tear, he just doesn't want to put in the effort and imagines removing tear MQs will somehow give him a free one (lol)
