Is it legal to repeatedly kill a quest mob just to prevent others from getting?

I'm fully aware MQ's were a part of the game on live. It was probably an oversight by the early devs.

I could have sworn there was an interview where someone like Aradune flat out said as much ... but I'm too lazy to find it.

It is, after all, probably the only quest in the game meant to be done by all players (of non-sowing classes) over mid-level...
It's really a rite of passage for a character; back on Live on Tarrew Marr our Druids and Rangers were certainly detrimenal to player QoL, but they weren't so malicious as to monopolize the AC with cheap exploits.

Camps in EQ are not a right. There's no instancing, so we have to accept we can't always get what we want when we want it. Everyone playing on this server should know what to expect emulating a 20 year old game.

Get some levels and camp AC in OoT. The Sro AC is FTE, so either play a class that can easily FTE it, get a bard or druid friend to help you, or accept you're not guaranteed it or anything here. There are no exploits going on, it just doesn't work how you want it to.

There are still a couple EQ terms I don't know.

This is one of them. The other is poopsock or whatever.

If you would: please tell me what it means to 'corpse the ring.'

This is also frequently done with no-rent items. Keys to Howling Stones and the various Sky island are stored on corpses to keep them from poofing. If you port up to sky, you'll find the first island absolutely littered with corpses, and the spot in OT where people drop down to get to the HS zone-in is known as the corpse ledge because of the corpses storing keys there.

Maybe you're just trolling.

But if not, I'll clarify for you. I'm not describing item farming.

I'm describing farming of NO DROP LORE items, which seems explicitly contrary to game design.

Surely there are other items to farm? Perhaps items that aren't NO DROP LORE?

Corpsing anything, especially NO DROP LORE, seems a clear exploit.

This one in particular prevents people from completing a quest the developers probably intended for all level appropriate players to complete. It simply converts it into a revenue source for greedy exploiters.

It really deprives the players, and I can't imagine forming a principled defense for it in the rules.




Hmm, probably not a coincidence.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

What is more greedy, a person that plays the game and their class within the rules that the game and the devs provide, and legitimately beats the competition to the punch so that they can sell their work in order to progress their character just like anyone else... or the person that cries because the better player won't just GIVE them the item/mob because they showed up and want it? Greed is not the mere acquisition of materials or wealth. If you just want the item handed to you then go to OoT and get on the list... then prepare to poopsock for 12 hours (or maybe 6min if you are really lucky) and just wait for your pixels to be gift wrapped for you. No fuss, no muss.

TL;DR - Git gud

You know, I really dislike the term “git gud”, because in this game it mostly just means “spend more time”. It’s not like you practice getting good at EQ like you can at most skills and expect better results. The game isn’t hard.

Someone in the last year or so had a similar rant and also used some version of the phrase "appropriate level" as well. Same person?

Either way, you are not understanding that is how this game has always worked. Sure, the folks that are always there to get a chance to MQ some jboots may be spending unhealthy amounts of time doing the same exact thing over and over, but that is their time.

Your time is yours, and maybe you'd be better off not worrying about other people.

Better fix, make it so you can have only one corpse and if you die again the first one disappears [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Then you can really git gud.....

[bigjeff100]

I have no problem with MQ's but I feel like the whole camping multiple corpses thing is a bit too much.. Like the dude who has half a dozen corpses in A4. Common man...
