Poll: What EQ feature should be mothballed?Follow

New Expansions: There are so many continents and zones now I don’t think I am even close to have traveled in all of them.
I know Expansions are a revenue source for SoE. But population is so low and spread to thin now. I wouldn’t mind paying $30 or $40 once a year and have them add a new zone, from one of the old worlds dead ends, every 2 months. But they could add levels and equipment every two months instead of once a year and keep up with the end game users.
They could also remove old unused equipment. Keep quest for the new player so they, if they want, experience the old game a little. With the introduction of “Defiant” gear there is no need for those lost obscure old items anymore. Probably make your life a little easier on Alla. So my vote is for others.

I voted for other, because my beef is with stat caps.

Stat caps put limits on our gear choices in such a way that they don't even matter anymore.

People base their gear choices on 5-6 stats: ac ,hp/mana, one or two heroics, and one or two mod2/3's (and raiders don't pay attention to mod2's anymore).

Make the numbers mean something. Don't just put 50SvF and +15avoid on every piece of gear to make the item window show "bigger, better, more".

If they were to drop the caps, then there would be an actual difference between groupers and raiders rather than just ac, hp and dps.

So, imo the stat caps should be dropped in this game.

will it ever happen?

I doubt it.

Point taken.

How about: "not that helpful to the game in general"?


Edit: and I forgot about Legends of Norrath as a poll choice... which a few people I know rant about often.

Time Sink quests. I don;t like having to sit somewhere for hours upon hours waiting for something that I can't fight without help from people with limited time, to pop.

I voted other.

Some of those features have already been mothballed (e.g., shrouds.)

I almost voted the Long spawn timer quest time-sinks. My complaint isn't about long spawn timers or time-sinks, but I absolutely hate rare drops from rare spawns. One or the other, fine. Rare (ultra rare) drop from a common spawn is fine. If I'm killing it, I feel I have a chance. Common drop from a rare spawn is fine too. Let me sit there for 24 hours waiting for it to spawn, but once it does, I get the drop when he's dead.

I like the triggered spanws that are used for the later epics too, but, IMO, that can lead to more running around to complete the quest to make up the time-sink.
