dev need to do something about the use of packies at idocs. there's no doubt people will open 5 or more EJ accounts, friend them all to your paid account and script loot the whole freakin idoc house. ive already seen this kind of activity at idocs. they need stop/change the ability for others to command pets. its just used for exploiting and cheating. get rid of ability the follow command will also help stop, slow down the multibot/char use where if they want to use more than one account, they actually need to use them. not auto follow, heal, cure ect....
OSI should implement a lot stricter rules at IDOC. No Pets AT ALL for EVERYONE, as it is in Castle BT. And this just for start.
Trial accounts already can do this. Why are people freaking out about EJ for things that already can happen?
the point is not about trail account/EJ accounts, its about stopping a serious abuse/cheating, the one thing everyone should expect from any game you play and pay for.
I think, that all IDOC items should be turned into NPC public aution, and same for plot area.. And it will kill every scripters interest to this.
It is a nice thought but UO has had this problem forever and now all of a sudden with EJ they are going to crack down on Scripters/Multiboxer. I will believe this when I see it and so far EJ gives me nothing but has the ability to take away a lot for my game play.
All the changes you're asking for are to fix things you can do yourself... so the playing field is already leveled. You're just losing, when you lose after your changes you're going to ask for more changes. We need to stop making game changes to stop cheaters and just stop the cheaters.
Make new NPCs and have them randomly spawn in different towns at different times, with all of the idoc loot in their inventory for purchase by anyone. Or make them NPC Idoc questors..so many easy fixes to this that would still allow for the retention of IDOC items without the ridiculous greed.
Can't you take a packie to the IDOC?
Yes, at least at the one I saw in Luna GL a couple of weeks ago. The point is, so can Scripters/cheaters, and control them in a massive way I cannot do. But the main point is Invising: blocking with the Chars body (expecially darn fliyng Gargs) the terrain, so one cannot even SEE what is on it, and so the scripter that automated the items collection get 99% of the stuff.
You're asking to limit everyone for the bad deeds of a few. And those few probably aren't really cheating. You just think they are. You can have a loot agent in EC, it's not cheating.
The real issue are the real cheaters. Just ban them and take as much action as you can against them. Stop limiting real players because of the bad ones.
My point is, you're asking for changes. And those changes aren't going to help you get better at playing. So then you're going to need more changes or get upset that the changes you asked for didn't help.
You are avoiding the main point of my objection: make the terrain (and the IDOCed items on it) ALWAYS visible to everybody. You can automate what you want with the EC functions, but if you have 20 DARN gargs flying over the terrain, you get zip!
Randomly place loot in player backpacks or bank boxes, for all within the vicinity
Anyone too close to the house gets crushed by the falling rubble
ROFL
I think EJ accounts should have bank access but no pack animal access. I think pack animals are more problematic than bank access. Especially if their concern is cheating/scripting on EJ accounts.
