What would make you play or stay?
I am thinking of leaving, had three pink mares stolen or killed, the totems don't work, if a player has a pet and says all guard it will kill the color mare, if a player leaved to stall and comes back they can kill the Mare.
We actually pay for the totems and I personally have had 7 that didn't spawn any color. Its not even pay too win win anymore its pay to lose or be cheated out of what you paid for.
Aslo,,,
After how ever many days now its been of the event towns i have 29 drops, some guy was selling 3000 in chat, it really just makes me want too give up.
Comments
Many people are getting more drops than I - I don't think about what they've got, I think about whether I will have enough for the items I want by the time the event ends in February.
You're gambling. There is no guarantee that you will get anything just because you put a dollar into the machine. The sooner people understand that, the sooner they can start to mentally and emotionally cope with the idea of a semi-open world game.
My son got one on the 2nd day, without totems, and got one in 3 hours.
It is RNG.
The drops from the town invasion are so easy to get - and there is so much time, take your time and relax on it.
Ask yourself, what are the bots even achieving if you get what you need?
The players are not there the whole time, there are peak and quiet periods, it will get quieter as time goes by, there is absolutely no hurry.
I killed it tbh, now I just relax, and cycle around the different content just enjoying it all.
2 other solutions.
- Go to Felucca.
- Move off Atlantic.
Or just relax.
Never be afraid to challenge the status quo
The best part is when I suggested the drops/rewards be "account bound" that would absolutely 100% stop the RMT bots running these 24/7, I got incredible pushback saying, "oh but then I couldn't sell the drops". These people don't get a legit player trying to compete against bots that are getting 600-900 drops a day across 30 afk bots surely make it so the legit player doing a few hours a day, maybe getting a hundred, his drops are quite valuable. These people are delusional.
How demoralizing is it seeing 30 vendors at one house with 125 drops each for sale when that would take a legitimate player the duration of the event?
To be honest, the fact you're feeling this way, if I were you: I'd just quit. Rip the bandaid off while you can. What I especially wouldn't do is buy totems/potions to increase your drops if you stick around.

Make this your signature if you are tired of Vendor Search being broken, over FIVE YEARS and counting.

Move off Atlantic. That's like going from driving a Ferrari to a Nissan Versa CVT. Another brilliant one.
What are bots achieving? Wasting people's time. The market floor is set by the 20 bots racking up to 1000 points a day each. That fancy set of melee legs you just spend 3 days farming a few hours a day? Worth at best 80m lmao.

You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot force it to drink.
So be it.
Right now, I use my dungeon rogue in Khaldun, to finalise the Kotl plate suit, and look for the ultra rare.
I use my treasure hunter for maps, then do Manifestations.
I do town invasion for drops.
I use my dungeon rogue in towns to look for the event stealable.
I could farm nightmares if I wanted.
There is just do much to do, it is all playing so well, I'm really relaxed, enjoying it so much, and cycling through different characters to vary the content.
Guild did an Oaks, and Harry tonight, been doing spawns, pvp a lot when ive wanted to - honestly, just so much to do.
I don't know where you guys get all this negativity from.
It is not all as desperate as you all think it is.
And tonight my boys joined me, and we got that at an EM Event.
Just so pleased with how the game is going.
If you all just played, and stopped whining, you'd do well.
The world is absurd, where the wicked thrive, and justice is almost non-existent. Most of us are envious of those who profit unfairly, and we lack the luxury to be outraged by criminals who don't directly affect us. Most people must simply play the hand they're dealt.
The fact that you can be angry is evidence that you still have some privilege.
You don't need to shut your eyes, ears, and mouth, but you'd be much better off focusing on more enjoyable things.
Welcome to the dead shards!
Do not blame the game.. blame the corrupted and bias staff working at BS..
UO is great.. BS is not.. and unfortunatly BS is in charge.. so for now corruption and bias is king.
The good players leaving and the bad one reign.. i'm blaming @Mesanna personally for such poor management.

They are certainly more miserable.

Maybe as has been suggested try a different shard. Most events appear, like this the current event, to be designed for smaller groups of players, on my shard usually about a half dozen during the time of night that I play. But, on the downside as time goes on fewer are playing the event. With the shattered event it does not matter so much dropwise how many are playing.
if you are a returning player and like the game, I would stick with it. If you don’t have much invested, and are still looking around, I would keep looking. Players I have met that really have applied themselves, and that’s not me, have really advanced in the game, but it takes awhile.
On my shard I usually get about 6 to 8 drops, and if I participate in necromancer battle three or four more. That’s with usually four to six other players participating.
I'd recommend playing on another server. The market may not be as good, but communities can be better and if you can fit yourself into a group of older players on less populated shards, many of them have dragon hoards worth of items they're willing to give or sell on the way cheap to help people out.
At least that's been my experience.
Also, people griefing others should get suspended. In my opinion this is also a reason BS should just leave the colored mares in permanently.
