Poll on Power Scrolls Please Read before voting
With all the strong feeling expressed on other threads about this subject I'm wondering what the actual numbers are, so a poll.
Please remember if you comment, rants or attacks convince no one and we are all players entitled to our opinions . And this is NOT an attack on PvP play style that is a different part of the issue that would have to be dealt with somehow.
Also I AM NOT Broadsword and this is hardly a scientific poll so I doubt they will even take notice let alone want to touch this particular land mine. Editing this I had the thought, should Broadsword put this to an in game vote? so question 2
I kept it down to 4 options 1 and 2 should be clear.
Option 3 assume "off Fel" would be restricted in someway. Account or shard bound and/or only the 105s and 110s. If it wins probably my next poll that is if I survive.
Option 4
A quick search of the web found 5 sites selling UO items for cash. Rumour has it most of their business is Power Scrolls. So why not just let Broadsword have the profit and save us fighting over the issue if everyone is just paying cash anyway. (Not you and me of coarse just those other players )

I voted for shard bound above, but would of prefered an option for pet scrolls to be available as a different items and available in the ilshenar, tokuno, malas spawn as drops. Most tamers probably have 10 or more pets in stables which to fully scroll require 5 or more scrolls. I have about 6 pets I use regularly only 2 of which have 120 wrestle/tactics and the others are just waiting. The odds of me getting the scrolls i need are slim to none on the current drop rate, and I am playing siege where at least the scrolls do stay on the shard. If I was playing any other shard I doubt i would even have those 120's as they all end up on Atlantic.
It was the worst decision ever made to tie pet power scrolls to the existing power scroll system and it needs to be revised. If they want the majority of players to have the ability to scroll their pets and get enjoyment out of pvm then this needs to be done, and it would greatly improve the enjoyment and revive those spawns in non fel ruleset areas. It would add a supreme amount of content in that it would give players a reason to actually do those spawns. It would also not damage the normal power scroll market.
However I believe that it isn't the majority of players they are catering too, pet scrolls only being available via the player scroll spawns in fel is just another case of the devs pandering to the minority pvp crowd and trying to again lure players to fel. Either that or they (someone) whoever, is making too much real life money off it. Hence the reason that it seems no one wants to listen to the majority.

Might also help if you needed to eat a 110, 115, and a 120 to get to 120, and do the same with masteries and stat scrolls.
But, realistically speaking, this will never happens, considering too that those Cabala probably pay for a large chunk of BS/UO subs revenue.

I also think tram spawns should drop 105s, and tram champs should drop 110s (and possibly all 12 scrolls given to attackers with no protection). The reason is that this game is already pretty rough for new players who want to "adventure" and not rely on charity of other players to get started. A huge portion of the game is balanced around 120s, mastery-III, and artifacts. And there is very little a player can do to get from new haven to endgame without hand-outs. Mostly the advice to give a new player is: farm some commodities, sell them in bulk, then buy discount 110 scrolls... then you can start playing!
who can prot themselves with a hidden afk char that they’ve gotten knight of justice on by killing their own non active red?
this game is a joke
if u made PS shard bound, u would just have to transfer and eat scroll. prices on atl would be so high. I see many non fel player quitting. prices have never been higher. only the zergs guilds would want this. thank god devs weren't listening. what a mess this would be if they did lol.
I second the motion
im fine with them doing that buddy. At least itll eat up their shields for no reason other then a couple scrolls. LOL
I wasn't responding to you. I know you know how the game works.
Others think that making scrolls shard bound will make scrolls magically appear in their small shards Vendor Search.
Shard bound scrolls will just hurt players who do not have shard transfer shields. Atlantic will always have the most Scrolls for sale. Shard bound will just mean players can't bring those scrolls to the smaller shards like they are doing now.
Yes prices would be high on Atlantic. but then players would be more likely to get a group together, and go out and get those scrolls themselves rather than just buying them as they do now.
No scrolls available on the small shards? not an issue. you can go out and do some champs. With less chance of being raided than now on low-pop shards.
Scrolls too expensive on atlantic? not an issue. you get get a group of your friends and do a champ. No friends? join a guild. Make a new one an recruit like-minded people. Lets be real, theres never more than a few pvpers raiding champs. ive done spawns by myself on atlantic and never run into anyone. and a small group should be able to deal with a few PKs. if an entire zerg guild happens to be on, yeah bad timing. but thats usually not the case.
Thanks for the good (even if sour) laugh!
Limit the scroll dumps at Spanws to pink SoT and blue SoA, bumpig up the quantity.
