So, some enterprising young doctor should just poopsock Hasten 24/7, killing him until Brother Z spawns. And charge Badmartigan and his customer (and anyone else) 5k to let them MQ the next Hasten spawn before he's engaged again. That shouldn't be considered douchebaggy -- I mean, it's all about making money however one wants, right?

1 dude camping a mob for an AC ring = playing EverQuest
1 dude killing hasten whenever he spawns and forcing people to pay him to stop = griefing

By whose definition, yours?

I consider someone camping a nodrop item just to sell it (due to an exploit of mechanics, AKA MQing) equally as retarded as scenario 2.

The only reason you accept the first is because it's common and has always been done.

No. Go fuck yourself.

Both are monopolizing content from other players in order to make money. Somehow one is acceptable and one isn't?

So now we can't kill the Avenging Caitiff in Mistmoore in case someone wants to turn in the fangs?

Where do we draw the line here?

How is it an exploit of mechanics when MQ was specifically implemented by the devs for this one sole quest?

Look, EQ designers did NOT intend people to be able to turn in items from separate entities and the final turn in get the rewards. That is an unintentional result of bad design being exploited, by definition.

I'm not saying all MQing is bad, by far. This example however is.

By the way, here is my stance on multi-quest:

Don't sweat it Rogean, the less MQable quests the better. Jboots have turned into a plat camp, making it a very long wait for anyone who actually needs to camp the AC for the boots themselves. This is one classic feature that we can definitely go without. The implications of opening up multi-questing to other quests aren't worth the effort. For example, the entire shaman epic was MQable on live, and people actually sold MQs of the epic.

So it's not like I'm a huge proponent of multiquesting or anything, but it's silly to attack some dude profiting off camping a mob in EverQuest, since we've all done it. It's even more silly to dictate which camps, how often, and for how long someone should monopolize said camps.

The guy camps the mobs 24/7 dumbass....there's a difference.

Too bad you're all too pussy to play pvp.

Strange definition of 24/7 ... since he obviously can't camp a ring in between getting one to drop and finding someone to buy. I've also been to AC multiple times over the past couple weeks and have never seen Badmartigan there. Actually, I usually find TMO groups camping AC and pulling seafuries to AC island for exp. Lols.

We've been farming AC here and there for our guild lately and have gotten at least half a dozen rings without incident... yall are making this out to be a bigger deal than it actually is.
