Re: T.L.C. for You and Me, Thank You IGE

Good article Mel. I rememeber the tough times in Guk pre Kunark with all the groups and ppl wanting the uber items. I also remember getting to the point expansions down the road that as trinkets or memories I went down there and owned the whole dungeon. It made me feel good to see how far my character had come as well as to walk out with a Yak to forever remind me of the good old days.

Is it right for me not to get that kind of experience? Is it wrong if I had only gone down there to make a couple k? Where do we draw the line and how do we police it? How far should we take the policing of ppl sitting at a spawn? Do we world kick ppl because they have been there for two hrs..three? What if I am afk between spawns and so I dont answer some tells..Do I get world kicked? These indeed are tough decisions to make.

In my opionion it has to be all or nothing to be fair. Either full on TLC or leave it be. Anything in between will become unfair at times with bad judgment calls. The rules have to be concrete. Now I can understand having ppl send in an email or petition to advise of a suspicious activities but we all know to what extent this is succesful. If something is going to be put in place it has to be an automated process as they will not have the GMs to cover everytime someone is at a camp to long and doesnt want to chat. It is indeed from both ends of the coin a lose lose situation. Either I lose my right to go back and wipe out a dungeon and get some memories or I lose the right to a secure economy. I dont think we will ever completely beat IGE and the like they *will* find a way. So the only people that are punished are the people that don't know how or do not have the resources to get around it, that is that average player trying to have some fun.
