    Well it actually isn't. Normally the mobs that drop the Pearl Kedge Totem, Pegasus Feather Cloak, Guise of the Deceiver and Ring of the Ancients are camped 24/7. The DPS race for any of these items in classic is a constant mess until Kunark and a bit beyond. Now those items drop from a wide range of named in classic and all are camped almost constantly by groups or solo 50s. Most 50, not all are looking for those items maybe a few others. I personally leave all the common loot on the rare mobs unless i need them, especially if a group is there to loot any of it. Some people are Krono farming but some are just trying to gear their boxes and or guild members.

    you can't buy better then Pegasus Feather Cloak, Guise of the Deceiver and Ring of the Ancients.

    Obviously this will get sorted out starting tomorrow but it really is a problem. On their way up it took 5 or 6 people to camp these named. Now at 50, one person can camp one named and even more. That really throws a wrench in everything. Picks are harder to spawn, etc. because there are fewer people in the zone.

    Cloak is useful for sure, but I can just buy one of those as they get auctioned all the time. Ring of the ancients is 200p or so now, plus I have a ton of them and use them as bracers. Guise of the deceiver is worthless as I already play the best race in the game, Gnome. Guise is just a way to look like an inferior character.

    Good sir, you are mistaken, Dwarfs are the superior race of Norrath.

    While you guys are both wrong and it is Gnome. The fact that neither of you said dark elf proves the merit of my mask comment :p

    The best race is a halflings druid, of course. Especially when you kill your own kind and murder trees to become KoS in your hometown and druid rings.

    Biggest reason to get a guise is to keep it for when the casino opens so you can make a set of items to get a guaranteed glowing black drum with only one gold ticket

    I report Ks'ing mages and necros every day. Nothing is done about it. Its no secret who now runs the game.

    Its all evil DE necro and mage characters that is what is being made and this is the nonesense that is tolerated. Correlation ? You should see the reports i send into the Daybreak .... team....

    They probably just delete reports of KSing since they've operated under the philosophy of most DPS (DPS race) for a long time now.

    Nothing is done because it is not against the rules. There is no such thing as KSing any more. DPS rules the day, and you are wasting DPG's time reporting it.

    i mean a mage have to get a cloak for their epic... and most people who aren't in it for the plat, want to get at least one guise on this server before it's too late..
    so i get it why some people are camping it...
    but yes, a lot of people are just doing it for the selling value...

    anyone who is involved in this game in its current state is scum, i have reported severe abuse and DBG does nothing.

    So if a lvl 30 having to outdps a lvl 50 (+) is also allowed (and may have always been allowed) it comes as no surprise to me.

    The amount of salty Karens on this forum never cease to amaze me.

    I'm a little confused. Aren't you, as a player, involved in this game?:)

    You'd have a better shot at reporting automated and unattended play.

    But judging from experiences I've had with customer service and that of others who I know have used it. Most of these statements are idle threats. People don't actually report and many don't even know how to do it (its an external website). But they claim Daybreak does nothing, expecting them to have a literal policing team going zone to zone, pick to pick looking for offenses.

    I was running around in Ro giving away items to newbies, when I watched a level 50 mage run up to the Rahotep camp and take it from a group of level 5ish players.

    I couldn't believe my eyes. I can't fathom behaving this way, I'd be so ashamed.
  19. Nyvlag Elder

    Might is right.

    It's really the only 100% true rule. For better or worse, it's always been that way on TLPs.
  20. Cainen Augur


    Its been that way since at LEAST POP and the FIF and FTE policies stopped being enforced. I remember in velious our servers rotation got jumped and destroyed and it became a free for all. So for the VAST majority of EQ its been this way.

    I still believe 90%+ of people are decent and respect camps(been my personal interactions anyway) its just the other 10% who stand out more and you remember.
