Let's use a little common sense

Post by Catt » Sun Sep 29, 2002 3:44 am

Five or six people macroing on a single merchant is going to get noticed pretty quickly, and the item of intreset will be nerfed even faster, and likely MQ with it.

My opinion is, use MQ to help you play, not to play FOR you, macros are great, but they are not replacements for people.

Screen shots show the mob of players on the merchant, then after the merchant "gets lost" the ones that where not using MQ to help them play.

It may not be a popular opinion, but's it's mine.

Holy CatCrap! I guess people really are that stupid! Was this during prime time hours as well?
Hmm... so I guess we're doomed if this crap keeps up :?: :?: :? :x
Asking people to use common sense is, unfortunately, like asking a garden slug to drive you to the hospital.
I don't think any of these folks give a damn if what they're doing hurts macroquest becuase they now have an easy way to get free plat, and to hell with what else MQ can do... this won't last long and they want it NOW. This is a very, very bad thing.

You mind posting the names of those people, and what server they play on?

I wish they would I was sitting at a merchant and some dude borught in 2 chars both lvl 1 and uber twinked and sat down right next to me thank god notepad will edit the scripts I just ran to another town a bit mroe secluded and rewrote my script :)

we should think about rewritting mq so that all scripts are wriiten in unix txt format. Then less idots will have acess to editing or attemting to edit scripts. which will allow them to use the vendors that are supplied by the script they somehow where leaked.

Nah we should make it check to see if anyone else is around that merchant, if so, / all gm, /tell GM I'm using a macro! Look at me! F*** you all! GMs are little monkey whores that should burn in hell and you can't catch me with my speed hack!

That'd get rid of 'em ;)

No, I will not say names or servers, I turned names off specifically for the screen shots.

I will say the 3 that where left after the merchant got lost, where all level 1 *anon* (like a guide+ doesn't know your level).

It's kinda funny, a few hours ago I checked this same merchant and there was no-one abusing him. I have to wonder if this thread may have done a little good, but I'm not vain enough to claim credit.

You shouldn't underestimate yourself Catt, those same people may have come to these boards looking for posts saying "WTF Dood My M34ch@nt is g0ne". Maybe they noticed your post :wink: instead. I think you did the right thing.
