For those readers who may not realize why this post is getting the hostility it's getting, click on the following links.
Here, this poster trashes the quest, expressing an alarming bitterness, and appears to assume things about the quest that aren't true and that he could have discovered aren't true upon the most minimal readings of the thread he posted in. (He seemed to think it was a "gather 5,000 of such and such an item" kind of quest, which it clearly wasn't, and if he'd actually read the thread he'd have known that.) He also expressed his horror that *gasp* there are rewards for doing the quest!!
Here, he describes the event as being "thrown . . . right in my face after they already started," neglecting to note that there's plenty of other things to do if he doesn't feel like working the event.
Here, he calls the rewards for the quest "stupid," bizarrely stating that the items are available "for a very short period of time to a few" (despite the fact that the quest can be done by any character capable of doing the quest, multiple times a day, and if your character isn't up to snuff enough to do the quest, it's best that that character stay out of the Abyss let alone try to get a house there), and says "there's little to no warning for people [about the event], especially those who are not on Stratics or don't sit checking every day." He appears to not check the UO main site either, because the quest was announced there and has been hinted at, there and on Stratics, many times before.
And, after all that, he turns around and asks for special help on a quest he's expressed an active disinterest in. (And think about how much energy it takes for him to express an active disinterest in something, when disinterest is usually by definition passive.) The post smacked of trolling.
Hence, the negative reaction.
And hence my not offering information despite the fact that normally I'm all over such requests.
To paraphrase, and add to, Stupid Miner's comments, he's spent way more time trolling than it would have taken to read the other threads and learn the information he's making special requests for.
