Subject: Re: (Meta) Jboots and item rarity


Sorry for not Quoting the whole message my bad.
The general jist however is about the out of control
camping and twinking and personally I think the best
solution to this is in the name of the game.

EverQuest.

The biggest problem I have seen with Verant
ist their short sightedness and quick fix mentality
most of which winds up messing with our class. I believe
my following suggestion would be the best option and would
cause the fewest problems.. On the other hand it would mean
they would have to actually FIX something else.

They should make all these specialty items Quest only no drop
items. Ie you find out from the captain in highpass that there is
this Really powerful Gnoll leader cutting though the ranks of his guards
with a mighty axe. Now you when you kill him have the ability to loot that axe.

Now granted several people will be able to get the quest at the same time.. but only one can loot it at a time and then only once.. no droping no trading etc. Of course this would mess with the powergamers but then they're the onese who keep convincing Verant to Nerf classes for no particularly good reason.
