Need script looter intervention from GM or Mesanna right now on Napa.

Another tactic which is being used on Napa (and most likely elsewhere) is to tiptoe around the house placing restriction (after the house drops) by placing a private, empty house immediately adjacent to a house thats about to fall and running stuff over to it from the IDOC, usually with a team of looters involved.
This is again a waste of time. Yes the person whom the OP talked about should be banned as they are clearly AFK but otherwise nothing else seems to have happened that is against the rules.
Having a house near the Idoc is a common thing on Napa and happens all the time but this is done by the same people that cannot defend a spawn so there is little else to expect.
You cannot expect the team to recode the game to have items from a Idoc drop into your pack. Not only is it an abusrd idea but what would be the qualifier to see whom gets the items? I'd leave all my accounts on some random shard and expect a full pack when I get home from work if this was put in place

Perfect fix is to just make all items in the house go with the house. House falls *POOF* a nice,clutter free spot to place.
That would address any issues that revolve around greed.

They are gone the way of the dodo bird.
I know of a seller at the moment who has placed 3 castles all by script placing before you can shake a stick.
This is whats happen.
UO . has gone to the dogs because of real money value put on items, and EA or who ever you wish to blame permited it.
Any future company that does not want there game to be gone a few years after, must stop all none company sells of ingame items .
Can you image the amount of money UO has lost over the years to people selling gold and other stuff?
I bet its more then all the subs to date.

Busy doing idocs seriously why go do anything you mentioned when ya can just wait for a house to fall to get things.
Here is a suggestion,
EA is missing the cash cow. Plain and simple. While most games are F2P or B2P and depends on income from items bought. EA doesn't follow this path with UO. Sellers have sites and make $$$$$ off of pixels in UO. Not accusing these sites as the scriptors or use such services to obtain these items and duping but c'mon they have tons and tons of items, tokens, PS, gold, resources, ect ect ect. People buy them. I myself have bought items from time to time in the past from one site. Not gold but if they can sell xfer tokens half the price what EA does why not save my money. I can't say or have proof they do use illegal means but I can always suspect they do.
Now EA would do it and cheaper and add new items that are account bound only imagine how many sites would exist after a year? Two years? Three years? Plus scripting would be pointless for resources if players could buy it at reasonable prices. Housing could be added. EA could just place houses and sell them on their own site if they wanted. I know it's not UO and what it's about but they could. Want a gold sink? Allow players to obtain and x amount credit per million gold that could be used to buy items from the code store.
If they made some things account bound only and sell cheaper than the other sites you would likely see alot of scipting not happen. All games has these issues but ones with larger populations do ban and try their best to get rid of bots. UO I have no answer. All I have said is just my opinion and it's not a popular one but if everybody wantes to really fix this issue then sometimes you have to give in to decisions that you may not like at times.

Couple this with the difficulty of use of EA's sites, and you have a beautiful formula for driving money away from your company. It is a bit better now from what I hear, but from first hand experience, i can tell you that after the first 4 failed attempts to buy xfer tokens from EA's official channel, I defaulted to a 3rd party site, who actually rewards me with incentives from buying items from them. Oddly enough, the official Japanese UO site does things in a similar fashion, only better, they give bonuses that are official based on money spent, and that includes game time purchases.
Really? I can't tell if you're joking or being serious. There is nothing that exists in game that can bypass the delay for using/moving items. Your post just showcases your ignorance. I'm super sorry that you didn't get fat pixel loot from an IDOC.
I don't do IDOCs. Never have, likely never will.
I missed the above quoted post but man that made me laugh.
And he posted it with such conviction. It is like he actually believes his own made up information.
are you new to Idocing? we always do this lol thats not a script, thats having to pay for a couple more accounts a month to be able to do this........i have like 10 accounts i keep up when im idocing hard. i will place beside anything that has heavy chests, or more than i can fit on my packys in one wack.
Seems the action requested in the OP eventually happened. I think this thread is finished?
