I don't understand - why don't people simply buy an MQ? Is this a poor player issue?

Hahahahaha poor player in comparison to who/what?

*Some* people like to "quest" for themselves. No M fucking Q. None. Zero. Nada.

Wanna corner a market? Be a proper "man" and play the musk/bozos/pickafuckenbillionaire game and make actual money. Not pretend everquest money.
Iokk mummy, mma EQ billionaire! Thats great son you're a big boy now....
Sheesh.

I don't think so, but I think it *is* a rule that you can't just get a ring, corpse it right there, and continue camping AC. The list must always advance when a ring drops. The MQ seller is free to get back on the end of the list though.

The list is a lie.

I think only exception would be if you're the only one there. In that case, feel free to corpse rings and keep camping a new AC, but that basically never happens so.

I play the game because I actually enjoy playing the game. Yesterday I did the Rod of Insidious Glamour and Incandescent Quests even though I could have easily bought better upgrades with less time involved. I spent half a day camping Drake Hide Leggings, and a Light Burlap Sack and Evil Eye. In reality I could farm plat and buy these items or even better items faster than I could quest or camp a lot of these items. But that's not fun for me.

I like to play the game the way it was intended. But that becomes increasingly difficult when you have the same Druids jumping in front of you trying to snipe mobs you just cleared the PHs for. Like clockwork. Say what you will about Quarm, but making Ring of the Ancients a legacy item would be a brilliant change if you want the game to be true to classic. Because I never met anyone who had 30 corpses with Ring of the Ancients in 1999. In fact most of my friends never even got their jboots before innate running speed and horses were added.

Also we're not allowed to edit, but before someone says "this is classic." Nah. In 1999 I would literally just cast charm on the AC or even on the PH and taunt the person until they left. In true classic competition wasn't strictly forbidden under the guise of "playing nice." People was mean as hell back then. I think more than half of the people on my server were anti-social teenage boys and it was a much meaner generation to boot.
