I'd be happy to go along on that one as long as it replaced No drop as a
chosen way of limiting items. Otherwise they'd be sure to put some critical
mid-range item for getting a better one from a quest on a mob, limit the
level too low, and then make it No drop. You'd think they wouldn't, but
they did make a box to combine 4 of the same lore item didn't they.

Uh oh I agreed with Wayne on something.

Subject: [eqbards] Re: Alternate overcrowding solution

From: "Wayne Sheppard" <mrwayne@...>

As several people have noted, one cause of overcrowding is a higher level
character soloing in a spot designed for a group of lower level characters.
One level 50 camping Item X takes a potential spawn area from a group of
level 20's.

Potential solution: Magical items don't drop if the character doesn't get
any experience.

+ reduces farming
+ reduces twinking
+ frees up spawns for appropriate level groups
- forces you to get an item before you gain a certain level
- forces you to trade for an item you can't get yourself

Any comments?
