    If those expansions were any good they wouldn't need our saving.

    All those other expansions only got pickzones at all because of the TLP's, in this case small change to how pickzones work due to the TLP issues doesn't seem completely unreasonable.

    This is a very bad change for casuals.

    It barely hurts boxers. Aoers will just move to the evac spot.

    The Asian farmers will still have 1 or 2 mages in every pick that won't leave and can coth their toons who do pick hop.

    The big boxers generally don't pick hop. They just sit and kill a ton in 1 pick.

    I'm really not sure what this was meant to stop. It's clearly put in because they felt people were abusing the fact that pick kept you at the same spot. Yet I don't think this hurts the people they meant for it to hurt.

    I don't think this is going to work out as planned.

    Yikes.

    Just because several people had the same stupid idea doesn't mean it isn't a stupid idea.

    That's like saying you get to walk into someone's house if they don't answer the door. No, you're still the jerk in that situation, it's not my job to tell every single new arrival what I am currently doing. There's no logical way you can spin it, to make it my responsibility to do your job for you.

    Terrible analogy, comparing pixels that nobody owns to actual property.

    New picks should have always drop you off it either the zone in or a safe spot when /picking over. I never understood why they allowed people to just abuse picks by going where they wanted to between picks. It should have never placed you right where you want to be, it gives people a free ticket to pick hop to grab whatever they want completely bypassing the risk.

    Knee jerk change? It's been over 3 years in the making.

    You forget EQ is ancient as far as games go... 3 years could easily be a knee jerk reaction. Have you seen old dudes try to cross the street ? Sometimes it takes forever

    yes it does. Now the gms can see and find people just showing up randomly at spots with bot armies etc. because the have eliminated people just picking in.

    I'm sure they've seen submitted videos of that and they've done nothing, lol.

    Won't be long until people start complaining about levitation in PoFire.
