I think the fact that you can't just create a new bot and give them all t4 gear is a huge plus on this server. With that being said, making things like QVIC armor, tacvi, t1, etc droppable in my opinion would definitely take from the server. Charm upgrades on the other hand would be excellent to make droppable. This would create an entire market for them and I believe both v1 and v2's should be made droppable.

I would like to see charms (v1 & v2) become tradable (losing NO DROP tag). I would NOT like to see the Charm v1 losing LORE tag. Keeping the v1 Charms as LORE prevents bot farming the charms.

I would like to see everything stay the same. The difficulty should stay around the same so if a new player gets up to the T4+ domain it shows he has dedication and put just as much time in as the other guys. This is coming from a guy who has yet to get a char in full T2.

nothing of the above. Just make all Casters, Fighters and Crafters guild items tradeable BUT lore.

Perhaps a summon pet to become tradeable? The pet would have the ultimate stats of +1 HP :P

Strife and difficulty are what made old EQ the game it was. Its what encouraged teamwork, and cooperation, and social interaction. Strife wont do that here, since you can create a box army for free....but one thing that strife also did was weed out the weak in old EQ. Its what made the community stronger.

Lately there has been a great influx of new players into the server, or so it seems....probably because there arent a lot of good options out there at the moment for MMO's. Keeping the game difficult is akin to wolves, big cats and Oldsmobiles thinning out the population of deer in an area, and without these the population suffers. MMO's are no different.

Without the time sinks and difficulties in places like Qvic, Tacvi and T1/2 the server population will quickly turn to shit, with vast amounts of instant gratification, entitlement mentality Blizzard rejects turning the community to crap. The same goes for charms. I hate to sound like an elitist snob, but I've seen it firsthand in too many new MMO's the last couple years. The same goes for charms.

Think back a moment.....in the last year how many times have you heard people not begging but DEMANDING that someone get them their pages for epics....or qvic coins? Or plat? And how many of those players vanished, never to be heard from again? And ask yourselves....would you WANT them to stay?

Please dont WoWify EZ!

What he said ^^

None of the above.  If you don't enjoy playing the game the way it is, find a new game that you enjoy.  Don't change the game we enjoy playing.

Short of SLS and Velks, what other way can lower geared players earn cash?
Allowing a single charms (of each type) to be sold would allow for something useful to sold.

I guess we need to find more ways to make money. Last time some one tried to sell 1.5 pages, Arax raged and flamed him for days. So what else can a lowbie do to earn cash?


-Hate

I dont post very often but I voted other because I hope nothing is changed.... There are plenty of ways to make plat on the server, it just takes some effort.  Velks is fairly steady and SLS is always needed.  Since for 10k you get any zone you want to yourself for 3 days if you don't zone out ;) I see no real need to remove the NO DROP part of any items


Thank you

Basically if its not broken, then don't fix it.

Some of our players have been on here for years, and have earned their high end gear. Its what sets them apart from noobies.

This would be too much of a change for the way of EZ Server has been for a long time.

For charms, and Qvic+ you'll need spend the time to farm the gear yourself just like our end game players already did.

This server is already way easier today than it was a few years ago when players were going thru T1+ without stuff like Strike Augs, etc. People getting too spoiled.

If you have a full time job and lots of kids to deal with, then getting to the end of the game might take a bit longer. Its like this in all MMORPGS.

But manageable.
I have 2 kids and a full time job and in meantime im gathering my T6 pieces.
So it is all doable
