Then the event suddenly muted and some weirdo come into the forum complaining the event is skewed towards warriors and unfriendly to tamers.
And when its time for moderators to kick that poster, they simply ignored.
What a weekend.

Or they have monitored the situation and it is fine in their opinion.
So, we have to figure out new strategies. It was a nice 2 days, I should have spent more hours spamming spells.
Most spawn areas in the dungeon are the same as day 1. There is just not a pile at or near the entry. They chose to turn off the pile.
You can not feed your citizens unlimited cake for 2 days and then ration expensive bread for the remainder of the event.
Tends to make the citizens revolt!
Unfair to let early birds to get all the worms.
Just treat this as lesson learnt for future events but keep your player base happy by making this event fun.

As someone who worked on a project team for a collections software company for several years, it was standard protocol that we would QA the code and test for a couple weeks and then release code to production on Thursday night so that the new code was used on Friday and any issues that were not found during our testing would be triaged on Friday (and into the weekend if need be) until the issue was resolved. This was the standard and I knew this going into any of those weekends. I did not enjoy that schedule at all and that was one of the driving factors for me to leave that industry.
From what I can tell that none of that seems to be the case here.
Can you imagine if they left it like it was (during the first day live) over the weekend? The people that complained about it too easy would likely be having a complete aneurysm right about now because they wouldn't make any money off the event.
Would have been some nice pvp action at riktor
The Devs are people who have lives, they are enjoying their weekend.
You can either choose to enjoy yours or not.
There are drops out there to be had still that are on par with previous treasure events, just no one is going to be getting 200+ an hour anymore like the first day or two. You shouldn't be shocked that's no longer going to happen.
If you aren't getting the available drops, it's time to adjust your gameplay or specs so you can get them. If you are unwilling to do so then you have to come to terms you just might not be as effective and get as many drops as those who do. As someone who enjoys playing her tamer the most, this is something I had to do after the first treasures event in order to get the quantity I wanted with the effort I wanted to give.
And while there are some scripters out there, just because someone is better, or more efficient or joins a pile does not make them a scripter or bot.
But don't take my word for it, since you think as always know better. Maybe the other 100 people complaining about the pathetic drop rate also have no clue what they're doing
700 collaborators might illuminate you on this
What solo template gets drops?
We play on computers, there have been scripters and cheats around since the first computer games. I would prefer not to have gameplay changed because of them.
I didn't see you be vocal on the forums about not getting as many drops during Hythloth as others were. The discrepancy has always been there and may be why they tried to introduce eggs as an alternative. Only other way to do this would be to create artificial limits on drops "10 max per hour" and that itself would make a whole lot of people unhappy too.
It's a bit humorous though, a lot of these people whining were the same people that would say "just make a sampire" when other classes complained during previous treasures events. The shoe was on the other foot, and they were demanding changes instead of wanting to adapt.

When the content came out there was complaining by Origin players about the difficulty of the content. I explained when Hythloth came out people found it hard, then they adapted. I told them people would do the same on Origin, adapt. They did by creating a pile and it was working.
The problem came with server stability. Altantic crashed. On Chesapeake the lag was so much that the bag I was putting my treasures drops in was not even updating the count. The medium population shards were encountering stability issues on weekday nights, had they allowed that to go into the weekend like it was, it would have been more than Atlantic that was down. And then everyone would have been unhappy. If it wasn't for that issue, I'm sure we would still be farming in huge piles.
There was a guild on Great Lakes last night stating they got 1000 drops yesterday. There is a reason people finding success in this event are not on the forums discussing their success, they are too busy farming.
As for your killing hundreds of mobs and only getting 5 drops in an hour, fame plays a component. Also you get reduced drop rate if you kill the same thing over and over.
For those who say they are having trouble/have a low drop rate, if you explain the skill set you are using and how you are playing it might give the Devs more information on how they could either change the current content or think about for content going forward.
I've never said "just make a" anything to anyone. I'm not complaining either. I'm just stating my opinion and perspective. To me, I had more fun the first couple of days. That's my take. I appreciate the addition of the ingots. It's not all bad.
I would love to see random chests in the dungeon to have drops. I'd love fishing in the dungeon to get drops. I'd love drops on T chests. I'd love random stealing drops from monsters.
I think weaker characters can fight the drakes in the north east. It's not all bad design. Just needs some small tweaks.
Meta's exist in all MMOs, but I would say in most MMOs the Meta is a lot more driven by pre-defined classes and easier to balance. Any "class" in UO is player made and there are endless combinations of them.
Sampires are meta for a lot of content, how do you deal with that without ruining the class? They have added anti-life leech mechanics and there has been some anti-armor ignore mobs as well. It's very difficult to balance without outright killing a playstyle completely and then you have a lot of angry people.
Tamers can be tamers, or they can be mage tamers, or they can be spellweaving mage tamers, or they can be archer tamers, or they can be bard tamers, etc. You can't make a change to pets/taming without affecting all of those playstyles at once, and to varying degrees of potency.
