Best post in this thread, bar none.
By your own admission you don't pvp and don't care about pvp. So you are just trolling. Certainly you have no clue about fel and/or factions.
You have zero clue about faction PvP. If you are saying 60hp doesnt matter. Please do not harass us. We are trying to point out an obvious bug that can be easily fixed.
yeah, that is what I have been doing lately. easier than arguing with them.
War horses are an easy fix, as simple as a dev editing info on a mob. There are many issues with this game that should have been fixed 10 years ago, but you are obviously not concerned with a simple attempt at balance.
60hp is 2 hits targeted to your mount instead of you
I doubt the devs knew that either when the faction items came out.
I don't think anyone wants them banned. We want an issue addressed.
If you are not gaining any undue advantage from it, no. If you are gaining undue advantages from it, yes
No, I'm not a "faction tamer". But I did put my tamer in factions for easy silver.... 50k a night or so while I watch tv.
As I thought. What shard are you in? I would like to report you, if you don't mind. Since you are so sure it is not a bannable offence you have nothing to worry, right?
I concur.
Wanna know why the devs arnt answering? Its because no one is breaking the rules. Sure its somthing that may need a fix but there are no rules that state you cannot sit somewhere in the realm of Ultima Online dead with your pet near by. These guys just happen to be doing it in a dungeon. Now you'll argue "but there gaining without risking anything". Yes, but there "legally" doing it for their own personal gain. Its not hurting you, and it shouldnt be bothering you. I dont understand why people are making this such an issue. Its not like gold farming that is driving up the cost of every item in this game. Its silver. Silver has only one purpose and that is factions. With unlimited amounts of faction items to buy, farming all this silver does not effect you at all. Besides its going to get canned here soon its just up to the Devs to create a patch. With all the complaining here on the boards im sure it will be on the next one, but who knows.
Here's an idea, submit it through UO Herald for FoF like Joanne requested for all FoF questions....
I did. You see that answered?
Another one who needs to learn to read... Are you reading the messages you reply? The question in the OP "is silver farming legal?". Why devs shouldn't at least answer "yes, it's legal. We meant it that way." or "it was an oversight we are fixing. In the meantime it's legal." really beats me...
Yes, there is. Besides the obvious fact that people in this thread have stated to have been banned for this (again, you may want to read?) and the fact that if it was not intended you are exploiting (for the illitterate, the definition of exploit: "use a bug to your advantage"), many devs in the course of time have stated that if you gain advantage without risk while not being at keyboard that's to be considered unattended macroing.
I beg to differ. By the same line of reasoning you could argue that duping is not a problem either... As usual, many people in mmo think that if they do something in a _multiplayer_ game that does not directly kill me, that automatically does not affect me. Well, you are flatly wrong. I suggest you sometime play a game with a serious economy instead of this sorry excuse of MMO. What a silver farmer does, actually DOES affect me, in the same way as an afk gold farmer, or an afk miner, or a gold duper. The guy farming 50K silver without risk is crashing the value of silver, because it's RISK that keeps high its value. And while I don't either sell nor buy silver and I don't care about its market value, it affects the amount of people that come to fel to farm silver with regular gameplay (while in the first days I could find many poeple in farming spots hunting for silver now I only find ghosts...), defeating the rest of the work devs have done to bring people in factions. Yes, it DOES affect me, big time.
Which again leads to the issue of reading comprehension... That was one of the questions. I just asked for answer... which is not coming. Besides even if it gets fixed fast it's probably too late. Silver farmers have probably alredy stockpiled and they stockpile silver for hundreds of consumables every night. This alone will keep factions on a low regime for at least a year. And devs should know that people who got back to give this game another chance, after years of neglect and sometime outright lies, won't be very patient with this kind of things.
You don't pvp. I don't either (except in my special non-violent way) but I bother to learn the basics. Survivability of your mount, in a game allowing dismounts, is extremely important.
That doesn't fix anything. That just means the scripter gains less money for that night, and he will be there again next time. I don't want to spend time to fix devs mistakes. Now, if I could kill the scripter and get his silver it would be a different thing...
Sorry to say, but that's so much more applicable to your rebuttal.
You are right, that's not the only possibility. There is also the possibility that those people play in another faction and want to keep an unfair advantage. Really, there is _no_ reason in the world why one faction should be at a such an evident disadvantage; 60hp more are a couple of spells directed towards your mount instead than on you. Saying that it isn't a disadvantge is just an elaborate form of trolling.
I did. You called it "a fix" albeit temporarily. I told you why it isn't a fix. However, there is an exception to my reasoning. What you suggest would actually be a temporary fix iff one person per shard wastes all his time patrolling farm areas "in the meanwhile". I suppose you volunteer?
Yeah, because it is obvious you people have no clue how to gather information from people in the game or by glancing at the hot topics of debate on the forums.Don't forget to send in your FoF questions through the Feedback Forum on the UOherald!
I was under the impression that traveller had allready sent it in but if u want the question spammed to u by a multitude of ppl I can allways go ask all the sl players on eu to send in the question to u so that we are sure u guys see it...Don't forget to send in your FoF questions through the Feedback Forum on the UOherald!
