Well PVP on the island probably wouldn't work. All players camping seafuries would drag those poor one-eyed bastards out into the ocean or over to the AC island and kill them there.

Make the entire zone PvP. Problem solved.

Yeah, so that way people who are taking the boat can just slaughter each other... That in itself would create even more petitions for the Server Staff.

I have no idea why they got nerfed, but I'm glad they did. The amount of petitions for that stupid island was insane. I'd be fine with them being brought back, if PVP was enabled. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I would be a horrible GM. My solution would be to DT both parties and summon them to vp hoshkar pad until they worked out a solution between themselves.

Well, I think we all got close to that many, many times. People get really upset about pixels.

This is an awesome idea!

OOT should be rendered a PVP enabled zone, and Seafuries need to drop worthy loot again! It would be so fun PKing chumps sitting half afk while on their "list" at the AC camp for Jboots.

Rofl that would be fun times.

One negative aspect of the seafury nerf is it makes information on the forums and wiki about how great their drops are invalid. So for newer players digging around trying to find a super great farm. They may get mislead.

It is bad information to say SFs are awesome for plats now, I assume anyway. I wonder if anyone still farms them for plat and how bad the gem drop is now? Or, if it's all rumor and they still drop a great amount of gems for plats?

When I checked shortly after the nerf classic correction the gems were dropping in something like 1/4th - 1/5th of the amounts they used to.

Also I think the PvP idea is fun, but clearly it's not classic and so will never happen. But what could (hypothetically) happen is a new custom zone with an arena in it (it'd be un-classic to have PvP enabled anywhere else). That arena would be filled with mobs that drop good, but not too good, loot (so that it's not too popular). It might also have other inconveniences (eg. ice, pits, etc.) to discourage the whole server from showing up. To save GM sanity they might need the mobs there to do an FTE shout or something, but I could see it working ... at least in theory.

Does anyone have any evidence that this is a "classic correction?" Because I recall Seafuries didn't get this adjustment until Luclin/Pop era. Grant it, I could be completely wrong on that timeline because I didn't really hunt Seafuries for plat in Velious era on live.

I've taken my Ranger out there several times since the change, probably out of a mix of boredom/denial. Although at level 57 my experience bar moves a bit so that's cool.

As far as the change in drop rates, while I wouldn't even begin to guess or care to do the math to figure out a percentage, I'll go ahead and say it's a massive nerf. Not even close to what it used to be. Before, the drops were so common I honestly felt robbed every time a gem didn't drop lol. They weren't playing around.
