Multi questing still going strong... so says the economy?

Well for starters your putting your "potential benefit" over the direct benefit of others. Sure you can sell that item, but are you going to get what you need out of it? Are you going to get enough gear that you might need to help your future groups even more? Are you going to dump it all on an alt and play him to level 10 and sell the items off?

Just to note, I have stated there is merits to both sides of this argument. And I don't condemn people for thinking differently than I do. Just discussing, trying to get a feel for how people operate on the server as I am fairly new.

Its direct benefit to you only if you use the item, until then its potential, just like the sale of the MQ. For instance, there was a warrior who received a hand of maestro for his epic over anyone else at the Maestro kill (who is still fairly contested on this server because of the epic piece). The player then sold the warrior and the new owner, figuring he wouldn't complete his epic, sold the hand MQ. That "direct benefit" you speak of could have happened on this warrior account, but instead the player decided to get "direct benefit" out of MQ-ing something usable for him.

NBG all you want, when you realize you've been played you'll cover your own ass the next time. Most players on the server have been burned, so they don't do NBG to help keep themselves from being burned again.

If you are going to claim need on an item, then find 5 people willing to let you claim need, friends or guildees tend to fit this bill the most.

The items are no-drop because the game designers wanted the quest-goer to loot the item, themself. MQ is an exploit; plain and simple.

TMO MQ's I hear

people complaining about MQ most likely MQ'd their jboots......

Big difference from here and live is that you're allowed to sell your characters here. Kind of invalidates the whole NBG system imo.

This does raise controversy on the subject even further. More bones to add to the pile. In the end everyone is going to have differing feelings on the matter. Some people have suggested to check with the group before hand and if you don't like it leave group or don't even join.

However that plays into the hands of the group not the one who attends the group, as the group already has the camp, and the force to take the named,

MQ's are soft. All those fart farts hating on OP's call for decency are soft as fuck.
