Make MQ EPIC farming Illegal

[ahalls2015]

On a serious note, maybe get with the farmer and seller if you can't afford it and work something out, offer to help camp it, explain your situation etc. If they have the camp, they have the camp

farm your plat and buy your mq like a real elf

Honestly, if you could find a hundred people to agree with you, how likely do you believe you are to get an official response?

I think mobs should only trigger if the epic person is in the zone who is on that step

How about you grab eqemu and see how tedious this would be to implement.

It's not as tedious as you think. You can add the code to a mob list. Its doable. GLitchy at first but doable in the long run. I can vouch.

Hasn't been a magi staff for sale on green in a long time. Tears also rarely come up for sale vs the amount that drop.
Which epic bottlenecks are you regularly seeing for sale

Golems are perma farmed for AoN, tears are usually just for guild funds or alts now days or the random main who joins up. But alts win the tear over main of course in most guilds. This is the way and its got to change.

You haven't been able to farm crew golems for a while now. Unless the raid rules have changed, you need to exit Fear whenever a raid mob spawns. This basically killed the practice of people camping farm crews in Fear to snipe golems.

If a guild gets a tear, it goes though the normal dkp system most of the time, at least on blue. If a guild needs fund they will occasionally sell something. Recharges aren't cheap.

Plat is more accessible then raid encounters therefore MQs = Accessibility. If MQs weren't available then the camp would just be more contested, less efficient, and lead to more complaints/negative experiences.

Restricting the drops would mean less drops which would mean more scarcity and less accessibility, aka counter productive to your end goal. Making things not-MQable would increase the chance of rot or loot going to waste because someone isn't there to loot it on the character that needs it in that moment 100% of the time.

Really its a conversation about people thinking they are entitled and want things handed to them when they aren't willing to put in the same amount of work as the person that is actually farming the loot. You see this pervasive in big guilds where people complain about loot despite being handed a lot more from the guild than what they actually contribute to the guild in return.

And here we are to people assuming people want hand me downs, What point did that make to say that in this conversation? It's hard enough to race guilds to epic mobs, they are perma camped for $$. Don't tell me otherwise, sure some get epics completed but most of the time guilds sell epics for guild funds which is also going against the entire conversation at hand. So lets come up with something better than that , my friend.

Sorry friend but this is just a crying thread.

Are you camped out at the mob?
Does your guild know you need help and committed to assisting?
Are you personally tracking the spawn timer, logged in, and tracking the mob you need during its window?
If you're still coming up short contesting the mob are you asking about making it a guild priority to get this mob during quakes or using the draft to select the needed target?

If you answered no to any of these questions, then someone else is answering yes to all of them and therefore they outworked you to get the loot and earned it over you. If you can actually answer yes to all of these questions then you likely already have your epic or will very soon (because someone else has probably been doing these things longer than you have)

If this is actually true then why is it so rare that these items come up for sale?

The reality is that any valuable target in P99 will be highly contested and some items are just incredibly rare and take months if not years to obtain, even if you are monopolizing every spawn. I promise you nobody is going through these lengths just to let the items go to waste, there are still a lot of toons on the server without epics.

This is what we call a victim mentality, its pervasive in P99 and the world around us. Instead of looking in the mirror and working harder for what you want its easier to point the finger at someone else. Some people just simply want it more, and that's ok.
