Please don't flame me to death....Follow

yes eq toolbox has something very similar to this. Sorry I dont have a link

For future reference, you might not want to title a thread "Please don't flame me to death". It doesn't give anyone any kind of idea as to what your thread is actually about. Because people don't know what the thread is about, you probably won't get as many helpful answers as you might otherwise have gotten. Such a title as yours actually attracts people who would want to flame you just to see "what stupid thing the person wrote" that they think people are going to flame them for.

As far as your actual post, while it may be a relatively harmless bit of software, you can infact have your account banned if you are found to be using it. SOE doesn't approve of any third party software used to interact with their game. EQ Windows is probably the only exception I can think of. I'm sure they allow it for at least this one reason..... It allows people to play more accounts which is good for their business.

While I agree with you in spirit, it really depends on what SOE feels at the moment. Personally, I wouldn't be surprised in the least if Magelo gives a kick-back in the form of a percentage of it's membership sales to SOE for allowing them to do this. Magelo wouldn't be making money with memberships if SOE decided they didn't want them doing this.

hmm,this forum seems good enough to hi-jack,where do i download all the ingame maps?

eqecon.com check it out. It is a pay service, they are doing the work for you just look it up based on your server. A guildmate was a play-tester for them.

I have no clue if they are legal, or not, in SOE's eyes. It would seem that seeing how they are doing the work, and you are not using any sniffer yourself. It must be SOE accepted, if not ok. I am not sure though.

I was under the impression that SOE sponsored these guys to get a guage on each bazaar economy. Again, I am not certain on that statement. I just think I read somewere that they were/are.

Sony doesnt have any problems with programs that jusr read logs and they have said that before. The only programs they have a problem are ones that people use to change something with the actual EQ program.

There is a fairly big split in people as to whether they prefer in-person haggling or afk hands-free trading. Some traders are afk by choice, because they don't want to haggle and make a fast sale. Other traders are afk because they are sleeping or at work - there is nothing you can do to change this unless you ban afk trading. There are also traders who are at the keyboard and you are free to bargain with them to your heart's content.

As a buyer, I prefer to have access to all the traders, afk or not, because it means more goods for sale and more seller price competition for any given item. As a seller, I want the freedom to actively sell, hawking my wares, or passively sell while I am doing other things. To me, the beauty of the bazaar is the freedom of buying and selling by any method one chooses.

Your idea of making the bazaar search screen accessible from other zones would be a nice way to pass time when you have it to spare. I suppose they didn't do this because it isn't as immersive as actually traveling there and transacting in-person with the traders.

Sorry if this may anger you but if you wont risk geting your toon hurt by fighting mummies than at least dont be so lazy to check the bazaar only! Embalming dust is on nearly every vendor North Ro.

And this goes for every newbie armor component - either its no drop or gets sold to the vendors in the mobs zone by other players.

Its a shame how lazy people get these days.

The "worth" of an item, is what people will pay. Yes, you can be competive, if you want, and sell fast, or take 6 months to sell something overpriced, if it ever sells.

If I am trying to buy a particular item I really need, sometimes I am grateful that people "overpriced" it or it would be sold before I got there.

If you don't like the price, do not buy the item. If you don't like AFK traders, avoid them. I myself love the AFK traders because there are a lot of hours people do RL things and all that merchandise would be unavailable.
