I can also confirm Dundor is Infuriatis trade alt he tried to scam some shit from me earlier in EC.

Also, I would only trust TMO and to a slightly lesser extend FE with MQs on this server. They are the only guilds that have a serious vetting system for applicants, TMO has a 6 week application period as well as a myriad of other requirements to join so not many people are willing to risk being blacklisted for 50k. TMO would probably kick the scammer and reimburse any victim if a member decided to go rogue and scam, I'm sure FE would do the same.

I would hope that is true Tiggles. MQing has been going on since the beginning of EQ live. How many people over the years have payed for the J Boot MQ. Tons of people including me on live and here.

If people have earned enough plat off another toon to "Twink" a alt more power to them. There has been a ton of threads of people asking what would be the best first toon to start on here. And it is usually a Druid to help make plat porting, PLing to make plat to twink a alt. Usually a Melee. So why are some people up in the air about MQing. Crazy people.

Wow, what a very intelligent, and insightful piece to add to the conversation. Any other wise words you'd like to share?

well, it kind of is... I can't imagine I'd ever give someone 45k without a serious background check on them. And, from the sounds of it, this guy is a known ass so it shouldn't have taken much digging.

I hear BDA is now selling multiquests. They either killsteal the mob for you or petition for it to be awarded. I hear they beat TMO on a monk epic like that. It was on Sirken's feed last night. No work necessary or you even get to keep the turnin piece to trigger the mob.

Sorry to hear this happened to you. Culprit is a good source for rogue epics I know he has been doing MQs for a while.

Divinity also has a serious application process. I can't speak to the particular situation being discussed, but if anyone has problems with any of our guild members, I would encourage them to contact an officer.

I'm sure you guys have a good screening process, but not at the level of TMO i don't think. If you're planning on buying an MQ it's probably safest to either go through them or at least check on the person you're buying from by asking well respected players on this server. If they can't or won't log on to their 50+ toon, or can't link you the items to MQ, definitely stay away (this is of course no guarantee either.) If no one has heard of them or has bad reports, be wary. Hopefully this sort of thing happens less now that account trading is "banned," but of course it still will happen.

Maybe a sticked thread that includes testimonies of people who have been scammed would remind people to do their research? However I wonder how many people who are scammed don't frequent the forums.

TMO can't take the competition or their own tactics working against them? unpossible! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

More like TMO wipes to a mob twice and exceeds the 20 minute timer thus making the mob free for all. BDA shows up to take the target and TMO proceeds to kite the mob for over 10 minutes and gets caught red handed. TMO kills the mob anyways and Sirken is forced to reprimand TMO for their rule breaking and hand over the loot to BDA. Don't kite raid mobs kids, sometimes you will get caught.

Why not just make all the MQable shit tradeable already so people don't get scammed? They already get sold just the same, the only thing that changes is people can't get hosed/bugged out of items.

I could care less if a level 2 has ragebringer personally, there are plenty of really good droppable daggers that can be had for well under 45k it's not like ragebringer makes that big if a difference compared to those 1-46. I think it's a joke some of you take this hard stance on epics but probably have alts rolling around in fungi tunics and RBB/CoFs. Very arbitrary line you are drawing here.

the line between classic and not-classic is very clear in most circumstances. most of the decisions made here are far from arbitrary.
