No reason to not make it No Drop when the server is all about chasing those nostalgia endorphin moments.
Certain people camped one after another with no other goal but to make money or even just hoard them in case of a merger someday. There's stockpiles still sitting out there just waiting for the market to increase even if it never merges.

No drop ends all of that, and keeps it feeling rare as the years go on from some of the early players who camped them starting to retire and come and go from the game.

Please learn to read. I agreed with making it No Drop.

I was agreeing with you responding to the guy before you questioning no drop. Please try to follow the thread beyond the most recent post you read.

I do wonder though what fraction of players farm it only to sell. Even of you’d reduce the amount of competition by 33% I doubt you’d wanna so the camp using a fair single camp session without exploits or account sharing.

Having it no drop but limited time still
Means you construct your play around its acquisition in the first period of the game which ruins the first period of the game because it’s by far the highest value goal, and takes you basically right into kunark getting guises and manastones let alone lustrous russet

That whole thing is a p99 non classic experience I’d like to have a classic server rather than an on-rails FTW experience

For the manastone list, make it more difficult for players to farm over and over again.
-Set the minimum level to join the list to 50
-Each character can only do it once
-Player must be wearing jboots to join list

The list system is fine if you can prevent players from automating it.

Nah, you're definitely in the wrong here kid. Don't direct reply to someone and then try and backpedal by telling them to reference something not in the thing you were directly replying to. Learn how the fuck the internet works before trying to act smarter than you are. Fucktard.

This is stupider than the kid who won't stop bitching about losing a single Scryer spawn like a week ago. Never suggest anything ever again. This is fucking bad and unworkable on multiple levels.
