Ok so because I dont focus on one thing in the game I cant speak on anything ? I do them here and there because they get pretty boring after a couple.. I can actually get the same enjoyment from killing mobs and actually feel like I am doing something
1200 huh man thats a lot of IDOCs you could be considered an expert on em I bet ...So you could probably answer some questions that nobody seems to be answering
What makes IDOCs right ? It has been said many times in this thread IDOCs are fine so please tell me what makes them so fine the idea that IDOCs cant be touched exist
What makes IDOCS "clever scavenging" ? That also has been said in this thread
Exploring and the rush ? Please do sir touch further base on this I would so love to understand your opinion even though I do not agree with it
So many players ? Lets be honest here very few of the population do IDOCs well because they find them to be very boring in their current state ...I am sure considering you have done 1200 you have found as I have with doing here and there that its always the same 10-12 people at em hopping from shard to shard doing them ... Even when a castle or a rares museum drops maybe field 20-30 at em and I would bet thats due to trial accounts doing that old cheating that happens a lot at IDOCs
Yes please do explain to me why the game needs no gold sink
Why Gospel we both know why dont we ... Its the 20 people who enjoy doing nothing at IDOCs protecting their easy gold mine
When people such as yourself express your opinion without this "directness" "rudeness" and also can state their opinion and move on without repeating it 20 times then they deserve to be responded to ...or stick with the current 2 people arguing back and forth off topic without even actually addressing each others comments and one actually just posting the same reply over, and over, and over.....
yeah, this has turned into one productive thread.....
Again I have respect for everyones opinion to each their own and we can disagree without name calling and puffing up because we have a keyboard as a shield
To you and the others like you who can maintain a respectful conversation even though you dont agree my hat goes off to you and also my thx for sharing your opinion and adding to the conversation

This is a thread about one guy who came back to UO in Sept of this year and is trying to find the easy button for everything while not taking into account all the effort that everyone else has put into the game.
Who cares if you think it's a easy gold mine, go do it yourself if it is so easy and stop trying to shaft those that do the "work".

Please explain to me what the "work" involves
Also there are other ideas in this thread that are pretty good ... Does it have to be my idea nope not at all but something needs to change with IDOCs
As everyone has pointed out ideas to change IDOCs have been around for years ... Lets be real we cant go by the vote alone considering there are quite a few very passionate people trying to shut down this idea and any idea to change IDOCs that more then likely getting their "friends" to come vote it down ..... I quite frankly will not be satisfied until they put a gump in game when you log in asking leave IDOCs alone, Change IDOCs and for all the people saying this gives new players a chance to get a foothold Do You Even Know What IDOCs Are ... I would wager a lot of clicks on not knowing what they are would happen
If the idea is so bad then why not voice your opinion and move on and let the bad idea kill itself along with your opinion and quit attempting to get the thread closed just so the gold mine is not touched
Also if you have such a strong opinion then please take the time to explain your opinion instead of just saying cuz you say so

Please explain to me how since day one of this game houses have randomly fallen if the owner did not provide upkeep to them(either in the form of openening a door or paying for the account) and people have looked for these in order to reap the rewards. They gave the time and effort to find these plots hence the "work" involved. If you wish to have the same go find them.
I see no need to change IDOC's, as virtually everyone in this thread has pointed out to you. Where is the work you ask...lets see. You need to spend 1-2 hours per day combing all the facets to locate them. You then need spend time getting their timers in order, and heaven forbid the OSI owned houses that put a funk in the cycle. You then have to "camp" it to some degree, spending YOUR game time that you could spend doing something else, in the hope that when it goes you don't wind up with a chest full of useless items. It's a gamble, and that's where the thrill is involved, as someone mentioned earlier. No different that shooting craps, playing poker or blackjack. Most IDOC's yield a bunch of crap. If it's in Fel, it's also a matter of trying to stay alive long enough to get ANY loot lol. It IS a playstyle that a dedicated few do very well. It's THEIR way to play the game, but you decide you don't like it and it needs changing. Most people posting here (AND voting) disagree.
Instead, you want to make it a bidding war, which will exclude a good segment of the UO population. You keep speaking of gold sinks as if EVERY player in UO is hording tens or hundreds of billions in gold. In fact, many (most) do not. I regularly play with a couple people who couldn't scrape together 5M gold on any shard they play, and yet they play the game doing their thing and have a great time. They couldn't care less about the gold. At least one of them does IDOC's regularly, when he can, when real life doesn't interfere. When he gets loot, he invariably trades for items he deems more valuable to him or gives them to less fortunate. But your "idea" will exclude him since he'll never win a bidding war. As someone pointed out above, your idea makes the "rich" richer, and excludes a large portion of the dwindling population from participating. But it makes it better to YOU, because now you'll be able to bid it away from others who play the IDOC game better than you do. It's a bad idea, and will alienate many. Can I make it any clearer?
Your idea is BAD, and overall a total FAIL.

Ok so you dont like my idea there were other ideas in this thread as changes to IDOCs do you care to touch base on those that do not involve auctioning off the stuff
And again its your opinion and I respect that

I didnt ask you to change your opinion I asked for your opinion on the other ideas
Sigh. I didn't comment on anything else because I feel IDOC's are ABSOLUTELY, UNEQUIVOCALLY, UNDENIABLY, PERFECTLY fine the way they are. Can I make it any clearerer? They are suitably executed in their present context with absolutely no need for changes, therefore I see no reason to consider any of the other "ideas" listed in this thread. Is THAT clear enough for you??
Again not asking you to consider any other idea wanted your opinion on the other ideas
This idea in particular ... You say because you have to run around well this would make you do even more of that ... You say IDOCs in Fel provide battles well this would do so even more
You say IDOCs are fine and should never be changed or even any idea shouldnt be considered I find that to be very close minded there is nothing that cant be improved upon
This would eliminate a lot of the cheating these " dedicated very well trained IDOCers " use
Better at IDOCs ? What ? He can sit in his chair staring at a house better then me ?

I am sorry Aibal but you are dealing with our very own Rain Man. Good luck trying to reason with him.
It's definitely very small in here
15 minutes to Judge Wapner
You have completely given up on your ridiculous idea and are now resorting to trying to push someone elses similar ridiculous idea in your own thread.
Wow...
Now I have seen it all lol
if you find idocs boring after doing a few, go do something else, it clearly does not agree with you, I am not going to teach you all i know, 1200= 7 years while also enjoying other aspects of the game
And it certainly should not be altered to cater to you
time for the padlock Petra, there is no usefulness to this thread, never was

Umm...ok? Everyone is chill here except the village idiot still shouting from his soapbox. The rest of us are just eating popcorn enjoying the show.
Thanks for the sig, it really sums you up in one statement.
Get a clue aidel's opinion on the other ideas is the same opinion he has on your idea.
My opinion is you die at fel idocs, and this is why you want this added into the game. I like the fel idocs the way they are I don't PVP, I wait at the fel idocs, and get what I can by stealthing grabbing moving off , recalling coming back to get more. So my opinion is you need to learn to play a idoc character you can learn to play in fel.
His opinion on a change to IDOCs "I see no need to change IDOC's"
His opinion on my idea "Instead, you want to make it a bidding war, which will exclude a good segment of the UO population."
How can he have the exact same opinion on different ideas ?
He can however have the same opinion against all the ideas being "I see no need to change IDOC's" but the same opinion he had on my idea cannot be applied to the other ideas that did not propose an auction "Instead, you want to make it a bidding war, which will exclude a good segment of the UO population."
Why should I let my opinion go because a bunch of over the hill children want to call people names or shout and puff behind their keyboards ... There have been people that have stated their dislike for the idea and moved on ... These people who feel the need to say it 20 times while being rude are the very people keeping this thread alive ... I make no sense though ....
No gold sink ROFL
Notice how you are getting all puffed up ... lol

The majority of people have said this is a bad idea and, I note, only you seem to be bothered with keeping it going.
Only one person wants this and no one cares. Please drop it.
And yet you have said this 20 times already ...
Stop clicking the link ...

apart from you of course
I agree with Michelle, spot on in fact, if i can't have it no-one should
Petra! padlock, and slap him with the stupid stick please.......

Can't help it, I imagine you spitting up mountain dew every time you see my reply.
And yet you keep coming back
I am sure you do imagine me doin a lot of things Picus your obsession with me is scary .... Dont you have a child you should be busy ignoring rather then giving me all your attention ?
Same reason people seem to hang around traffic accidents and train wrecks bud. Extremely horrible things can unfortunately be fascinating
Well from what I can tell either the mods are on vacation or this thread has become worthless. Someone needs to put it back on track and stop the banter no one can even tell anymore what this thread was all about... less it's a bunch of bickery..
