Isn't it easier to script gathering eggs now as it was with the previous Event ?

 Mass Scripting of this event requires mass steady supply of thorns. Very few of us had large thorn stashes and very few of us are seriously mass producing more thorns.  So I predict we will see spurt of scripting when thorns are harvested and on the market and it will peter out fast as the thorns run out again.  I plant 200-240 per day  and am not seeing the mass of multi boxers anymore.  What I am seeing are people with 1-3 characters casually getting some eggs and enjoying the event.  SO by virtue of the limited supply of thorns the scripting/boxing is minimized, can't stick thorns in the ground when there are not many available.

in witch delusional world you live.... they chose green thorn something in game for years.. i know many people with 100k plus green thorn. if they had chosen a new item/thorn like they should have done then yes supply wouldn t be unlimitted.

 You know what happened to the vast majority of green thorns in my not so delusional world. We harvest the seeds for the seeds of renewal and left the thorns on the plants when we got rid of the plant. BECAUSE THORNS WERE WORTHLESS after pub 16

i use green thorns to farm black and white seeds that i in turn make into black and white natural dyes that i make some pretty good gold from selling, so not sure where you get they are worthless from.

My 90 raised bed houses make 84,240 Thorns per year. ALL of my raised and field beds combined could make 529,920 thorns per year.  Assuming I devoted 4 18x18s to nothing but growing green thorns and harvested them all at the end of every cycle and replanted them all at the same time.  Which I don't right now I have around 160-170 beds growing about half of my total beds.  Every 90 bed house generates between 220-250 Seeds of renewal on average that have value, THorns up until this event had next to no value.  If there were all of these millions of hoarded thorns laying around I doubt I would have sold my smallish hoard of 260,000 for as many plats as I did in less than 30 minutes of advertising them. The total of my next harvest with the 160 or so beds will be a whopping 11,520 Thorns....... That would keep a scripting multi boxer going for about 29 hours planting a average of 400 thorns per hour.  Those same thorns will keep me going at my current couple hours per day planting 240ish thorns per day for 48 days.  So my delusional world really is not that delusional.  And please over a million thorns from IDOCs I guess it is possible but not probable I would have to see the comod deeds or stacks of 60k thorns to not call BS on that one.

 Where thorns are/were worth hoarding is on Siege where you can hide 20 characters around a dirt patch with a bunch of hoard minions and cycle through sticking thorns and the minions picking the reagents up as fast as they pop out of the ground.  Much faster and cheaper than buying tens of thousands of reagents up at the shops. Even then it is 37 beds of cypress trees for 2 cycles and then one cycle of thorns.

 It ain't easy to keep my little siege hub tiles charged up but it is cheap with thorns and cypress trees And that is just the hub I let other folks use, another smaller private hub for myself next door......

 Fortunately I don't need to devote 18x18 on Siege the keep roof and a few beds on the floor below meet the Siege needs.

  The Factory Farms on LS, Origin and Atlantic with pretty much nothing but raised beds and barrel sponges in them on the other hand exist for some resource production but mostly just for seeds of renewal.  Have to keep the red leafs coming in to seal those porno books I write and I use a  fair amount of of orange petals. But it has been YEARS since I bothered to harvest the thorns from the snake plants.  But I guess there tons of people running Factory Farms like I do harvesting massive amounts of until recently worthless green thorns and hoarding them for years LOL............Sureeee there are.

I thought I was bad at 65 beds WOW !!!

Show us your script that plants a thorn, attacks the bunny, loots the corpse, goes to the NPC, then turns the eggs in.

More advanced, the script that removes the bag balls I put in a square around you.
Then what you respond when the GM says How many eggs have you collected today and  what is 12 - 5,

Only play on one shard since I am not in the class that can travel from shard to shard.  But, have not seen any of those bots running around like in the other event.  Don’t know anything about scripting, nor to be honest do I care to, but the bots are not interfering with legitimate players as far as I can see so that is something.  For those that had the forethought to grow thorns they are the real winners.

“I was just saying that it is easier to hand in eggs now, last time I had to log in EC to toggle all the eggs as quest item.
my personal method of farming was to have pet guard me

macro for:
Use item type (Green thorn)
target (floor)
select nearest hostile, attack selected target
 Put that on a loop

I wasn’t looting the corpses, was letting the players that weren’t afk do that.

Only did it until backpack was full. 

Only reason I went afk was because, my attendance was not required for this event.

but the scripters I’m sure would find it pretty easy to script to recall to the hand in spot and hand in eggs when full and restock with thorns. I mean, our guild bot runs around all the champ spawns (stealthed) and restocks itself with smoke bombs..

as for responding to a GM, I’m sure they use the same as always.
the discord webhook alerts when a GM asks you a question, and they return to the screen to answer within the 5 mins..same as every other afk scripter.

just to put into perspective what is possible to afk script:
we have a bot that will recall to the vvv town, stealth to all the 3 or 4 sigil spots, detect hidden the sigil, steal the sigil, return to the priest to hand it in, rinse and repeat 

AND when it reaches 10k points will automatically buy a royal forged pardon from the vvv vendor and insure it. 

Bros come back in the morning to a backpack full of royal pardons (assuming it didn’t get killed in action which does happen)
- combine that with 3 bugs
Bug 1: EJ account is receiving vvv points and can claim reward.
Bug 2: every player receives point for sigil return, even non guild member.
you plant a load of hidden EJ accounts on town borders or even in an inaccessible and unattackable location (Bug 3)
and you got infinite vvv points even if rival guild is running this bot too, which they do.
(all these 3 bugs have been reported but they don’t deem them as urgent)

so i imagine script to hand in eggs is not hard, but not really worth doing"

The increased ease in the script, I imagine, comes from the fact that no longer it is necessary to set up a "walking script" at several locations in order to find eggs laying on the ground.

Now, the script only needs to handle the planting of a thorn and then direct 3 characters to target the spawned rabbit and check the corpse in case of an additional egg spawning on the corpse.

Have the script rotate the planting of the thorn in between the 3 characters to get around the downtimer and scripters are set to go, and get all eggs they want.

I would imagine that the current's Event script might be easier as compared to the script that scripters run with the past Event where eggs had to be found laying at random locations on the ground.

This event seems custom-made for you.

They created Treasures of Event, and you complained they are biased for warriors and your tamers and mages are at a disadvanage. 

They created this super boring, kill-the-rabbit event, within a single location perfect for tamers and mages. Still complain. I fell asleep in less than 15 mins playing this. 

Sigh. 

I have already started to play mobile games again which are way more exciting than UO. I have given up looking forward to anything include Legacy. Nothing is exciting and rewards are pathetic. 

Other games continually expand the artifacts and are never worried about nerfing because they can always create more exciting, fun and challenging quests. I would sleep late playing them and wake up wanting to play more. It seems the developer can always create infinite fun this way. 

UO is now VERY boring! The only thing I log in is to refresh my ship and look at my castle. Boring event with super super super super BORING rewards. 

And they are shard bound, omg. for what?
