Publish 122 "Cracked eggs" have no turn in value ?
They should have some value, nonetheless, to my opinion... by spawning they took the place of other eggs so I think they should be worth at least something.
Also, considering how a Mature egg costs 10,000 or even 80,000 points, the turn in value for eggs is way too little.
I mean, with an average of mere few points for an egg (how many flawless eggs one might get ?), it will litterally take thousands and thousands of eggs to get and turn in before one can finally get 1 Mature egg.
I think that either the cost for a Mature egg is way too high or, the value for regular eggs to turn in is way too low.

Tell me you have not tried this, without telling me.
Have you dropped the useless things on the ground yet?
You don't get any cracked eggs from the egg clicky.
Whomever went, did not do any content that would give you a cracked egg to test.
A guy has a bag of Flawless on a vendor. Did you look at my matriarch thread and see how many eggs I got in one night? I've done that MANY nights and there are others who play a lot more than I do.
Play UO with me or spend your last posts complaining.
The forums r ending!
Your legacy will live forever on the UO server.
Its cold outside we are supposed to stay inside. Keep warm everyone!
Why do you think you need the 80k egg on the first day? This is permanent content.
It is based on NL the more you play the more you get. YOU asked for that.

Everyone will be there. Black tie affair.
Get all the eggs you can hold!
Ill take them to your home shard if needed.
Have you taken that 80k beauty for a test drive?

It is a mistake to make those kinds of assumptions.
I think you’re treating a video game like it’s a quarterly earnings report. Yes, the point totals are high. Yes, the RNG might give you a 110 instead of a 130. That’s the nature of games. They’re meant to be played, not audited. If someone feels “a whole lot of time could have been spent more profitably” that’s usually a sign they’re approaching the hobby with the wrong mindset, not that the system is broken.
Most of us log in to relax, have fun, and maybe snag something cool along the way. If the only way an event feels worthwhile is if every minute spent converts into maximum value output, that’s not gameplay, that’s a job. Play because you enjoy it. The rewards are a bonus, not a contract.
That is at least how I see it, or at least how I believe I see it, or at least how I currently understand myself to be seeing it. Your mileage may vary, of course, at least that is how I see it, in the extended, needlessly reiterated, redundantly clarified sense of seeing it.

You keep trying to reframe this like it’s some grand philosophical crisis about “time usage” but the core of your argument is the same every time: you don’t like doing repetitive content, therefore the game should redesign itself around your personal tolerance threshold. That’s not a gameplay critique, that’s an entitlement issue dressed up as a dissertation.
Plenty of players run the same content repeatedly because that’s how progression/Reward systems work in literally every MMO ever made. You’re not uncovering a shocking design flaw you’re just announcing that you don’t enjoy farming. Fair enough. But turning that into “therefore the game should guarantee me the rare item after X attempts” is where the wheels come off.
You keep saying you “would like very much to earn the items yourself” but only if the game hands them to you on a schedule you approve of, with no variance, no RNG, and no grind. That’s not “earning” that’s demanding a punch‑clock rewards system because the alternative offends your sense of efficiency.
And the constant comparisons to botters and RMT don’t strengthen your point they just underline that you believe the existence of shortcuts entitles you to one too. It doesn’t. Other players breaking the rules doesn’t mean the game owes you a custom drop mechanic so you never have to feel bored.
If you don’t enjoy farming, the solution is simple: don’t farm. Buy the item, trade for it, or skip it. That’s how the game has worked for 28+ years. Not every item is meant to be acquired by every player doing every activity they personally enjoy. That’s not a flaw. That’s a functioning economy. But sure let’s pretend the real issue is that the game needs a Doom‑style pity timer because you personally don’t like repetition.
at least that is how I see it, or how I think I see it, or how I’ve convinced myself I’m seeing it in this moment. And in the spirit of excessive clarity, I’ll simply restate that at least that is how I see it, in the long form, extended edition, director’s cut, redundantly annotated sense of seeing it.

I got many eggs last night.
You got 0.
Who is using the best method?
Perhaps it was just a Freudian slip? This is not the first time you have made mention the value of things. It kind of sounds like your main mission in UO is to make it some sort of cash grab that you can profit from while disregarding everyone else's views and misrepresenting information every step along the way.
To Vic's point... yes it's a high price on the dragon eggs but it's permanent content that you can do at your own pace. If you think your time is better spent doing other stuff there is literally nothing stopping you... wait 6 months and I'm sure you will be able to buy the 80k drop for a reasonable price. If you are looking to profit from it then you better start grinding now to get those eggs ready(you have a week to stockpile) instead of sitting around the forum arguing with everyone.
You should play on Test center, maybe you'll win the castle raffle all the new stuff is free.
No time needed, just collect stuff.
If time is the true reason.
Once again you misrepresent data to give your argument validity. The super massive nests, as I posted btw, appear to have 16+ eggs AND the Broodmother drops eggs as well so I'd guess 25+ eggs from each map. That kind of blows up the rest of your math which is only for the new hue egg and not a regular hue egg. You are also forgetting that Matriarch will give egg drops too.
The biggest thing you are missing is that the Devs have already said/proven the mature eggs are not something people should be getting every day with multiples in a day... they are something you need to work for.
You do not do the content enough to know whats enough.
I am offering you all the eggs you can hold. All you have to do is walk in a gate cast a Blade spirt, get a bag,
You can not be bothered with getting eggs it seems. Walking in a gate takes too long.
