And yet STILL EJ scripters not being challenged
@Mesanna Why are you allowing FREE TO PLAY EJ accts to run the event
The scripters are rife, using crappy mage armour with little or NO concern of being caught
On a daily basis I see new names, well renowned UO names like, Bill, Ian etc running automated scripts
I have even suggested to you you place yourself in one of the many egg locations with an egg of your own and drop it, and watch as they make a direct beeline to it, then if you quickly move it from them and they still continue to run towards the egg and only stop when they are on the spot where the egg should be, no stopping, thew script expects them to gather the egg. They recall in, looks like they scan area, then go towards nearest egg, through doors like they are not there and instantly grab the egg. NO HUMAN can do all that instantly without help. EC PINCO cannot do all that instantly. SCRIPT MESANNA NO DOUBT. And they ALL run the same script.
Take them to Buccs Den, watch them try to recall over and over and over, not aware that they are in jail = SCRIPTING!!!!!!!!!!!
And YES they CAN answer a GM question whilst the script is running
this only makes the attended scripting instead of unattended scripting. STILL ILLEGAL
BAN EJ ACCTS FROM EVENT, they wont risk their master accts
DO SOMETHING, GET UP AND GO SEE FOR YOURSELF WILL BE A GOOD START

I'm fairly sure nobody would bother shard transferring eggs, automated or non automated"
I guess I am wrong in this regard then. My observations are that the event is not fun to play and it is more efficient to run around collecting eggs. I'm guessing that everyone else feels the same, as of the change that slowed and spread out the spawn, because now all I see are tons of people running around collecting eggs and being rude while doing it.
0 skills, 0 gear with 0 risk can get a drop
Versus
6 x 120 skills, top gears, tonnes of grey robes, same drop.

And increase the drop rate for those who are working (killing the) "Hard" (way).

I think the players can find solution themselves,
there are eggs in fel i am sure outside of a guardzone you can enact your own revenge and be rewarded.
you don't need to always run crying to Daddy dev
let them get on with doing whatever it is they do"
People need to adapt, but some would rather come to the forums and complain repeatedly instead. You aren't going to find any eggs on this forum.
I have collected 7 eggs on the ground. I prefer the dungeon because I prefer to kill stuff.
Page a GM for cheating.
The event is not broken. The dungeons give drops, people collect eggs every day.
You may not like the drops/hr but many have stated it is equivalent to other dungeon events.
5 per hour has been my average with 0 luck in all the dungeons so far. Same here in Destard.
If the rewards were better there would be more participation, but you can get those rewards by collecting eggs instead, That is one reason your dungeons are less used.
Since you have no access to turn in numbers you really have no clue if this Dungeon has produced more or less turn ins. But you still complain even tho you have no idea if there is a complaint or not.
On egg collecting, a thought experiment --
If you could automate this, and run this on possibly many shards concurrently, that seems an obvious thing that some set of players is going to do. While we don't know if EJ accounts are the primary culprits, it's more likely than not that these are EJ accounts. I'd imagine the paid accounts are being used for things that only paid accounts / paid expansions are able to do. (As others noted, no skill needed, no expansions needed, no need to shard xfer, etc).
It's also more likely than not that broadsword already knows whether EJ accounts are the primary players picking up eggs/etc. One side effect of the current design is that it's likely that many more EJ accounts have been created in the past 2 months. Perhaps that has provided a boost to subscriber numbers, assuming this is a tracked (and possibly important) metric.
But the reward should commensurate with the effort.
This isn't whining, it's being truthfully pissed. Just like when you have to line up in a long queue, while some can just take the easy and cut to the front of the queue... all being equal.
U call that whining? So if someone does that to u in real life u just tell the rest in the queue to shut up and stop whining.

So why do you and other people, all the sudden, care now that there are players scripting eggs?
Facts of these ToT events are:
- They have been heavily botted since day #1 in Doom.
- If nothing changes, it's just going to get worse.
Destard just made it obvious. All these players that usually bot their sampires 24/7, archer multibox groups, tamer/wither multibox groups, etc. were just concentrated in to one small area that previously would have been spread out over a large dungeon. It just showed how much of a problem these events are with cheaters.I will be slow to reply because I cannot log in/stay logged in to the forums.
Make this your signature if you are tired of Vendor Search being broken, over 4 years and counting.
Vendor search rendered useless after Publish 106 – Forsaken Foes on August 14, 2019.
I care about eggs scripters because a bunch of grey robes emerging from the Destard hole empty handed can always hear someone Ding Ding Ding away at the door.
Eggs are flooding all over land?
And why do you need to care that we mind the 0 skills scripters?
