Level 55+ for scout roll, yay or nay?

[Xzorn]

It would not be hard to police. Just as pre-46 characters can't go into Planar zones. It's one code addition with no overhead required by anyone.

Lock the zone or just have Scout ignore turn ins from players under level 50.

This is a player-made agreement right? Is staff even involved? Will staff currently intervene if someone just skips the roll and does turn-in to the chagrin of everyone that showed up to roll?

With #notclassic being a thing I find it impossible to think that staff would actually code something differently to what it is now to cater to the demands of some regarding the scout. I know they have a history for nerfing things with AOE but that was because an entire zone was more or less perma-camped by 1 group selling exp. This, in contrast, seems like such small deal...

At one point there was a poll asking to turn the scout from the clickfest to a roll. There were about 200 voters and 2/3 picked the roll, thus making the roll a player-made agreement. The staff does enforce player-made agreements, and you will be punished if you break the agreement.

However, I don't think that people realized that there would be characters as low as level 17 (from what I've seen) coming to roll.

I'm not trying to be a contrarian here but I need have this cleared up for me.

I remember this pole but I cannot find it written anywhere that there is now a player-made agreement in place. A random person creating a poll on forums and 200 people voting seems like a terrible grounds for any agreement to be put in place. Half of those who voted might not even play on the server anymore and even if they did that represents way less than half of the population. So yeah, struggling to believe there is a staff-enforced agreement in place on those grounds but I'd be happy to be proven wrong if you could link me to where it's documented?

Back when I was doing scout, the issue was people logging when they lost the roll. There was still plenty of people to help, but it's still a dick move.

This is a good start but too unrestrictive. You’re gonna have the whole server rolling. I would like to propose leaving roll open only to myself, my alts, and my associates. After all of which have their disk several times over the scout will return to FFA because that’s ultimately funnier to read about.

80% of the people on the last poll voted to keep scout roll the same...why is this even a poll?

This idea seemed to have some support in the other thread, and a few people have PMed me to make a thread / poll to get a feel for if the majority of people are behind the idea of restricting the scout roll to characters level 55 and above

I know reading is hard but this was literally the first sentance of my post. At the moment this poll is about 50 / 50 by the way.

again, 80% of the last poll said to leave it the way it was. the problem isn't my reading comprehension it is your unwillingness to see that most of the server enjoys scout roll the way it is.[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

What do the results of the last poll have to do with this one? The alternative proposed there was terrible. It seems you are the one unwilling to see that it is untrue that most of players on the server enjoy the roll the way it is, evidenced by the fact that this poll is remaining about 50/50.

Now that isn't a large enough percentage to change it, but it does show that a lot of people would like for it to be changed.

55+ was my idea. I demand credit.

Noted, you can have all the credit dad
