It is pretty easy to understand why the new system is 1000x better if you are able to look at something impartially.
IT IS RANDOM IT IS RANDOM IT IS RANDOM
I know you are unable to comprehend this THP but idoc loot belongs to nobody. Nobody has any divine right to it.
When someone's entire UO existence falls to the ground it is a sad event and nobody should be able to set an alarm clock to pick it up for their own personal gain.
What some people in this thread seem to conveniently forget is that idocs were always random and were always supposed to be random. They never fell to the exact minute as far as I can remember. They never advertised exactly when they were going to fall for a reason.
Unfortunately they were never random enough as evidenced by pro idoccers setting alarm clocks so now the devs have corrected that.
Cheating is a completely separate issue and the people on this board consumed by cheating to the point where they seem to not be able to enjoy any aspect of the game(and there are more then a few of those wackos)will never be able to discuss anything impartially so imo their opinion means nothing.
How many people rant on here about cheating and don't even play anymore? Too many.
Funny thing though is that every major MMORPG has the same % of cheaters so I don't know where they end up or what they expect?
Cheating sucks but it exists everywhere. Deal with it & report it when you see it or just don't play maybe. But please stop tainting rational discussions with your obsession maybe?
Interesting! I think this post is so well thought out that it is worthy of dissection.
Firstly ' It is pretty easy to understand why the new system is 1000x better if you are able to look at something impartially.

I fail to see why it is necessary to look at this impartially. That implies that you could not care less about the subject, most posters in this thread do care one way or the other. IT IS RANDOM, it sure is and that is the biggest bonus to the scripter idocer in years.
'I know you are unable to comprehend this THP but idoc loot belongs to nobody. Nobody has any divine right to it.'
Looking through the posts I fail to see any suggestion that THP thinks anything else. Heaven alone knows where you dug this one up.
'When someone's entire UO existence falls to the ground it is a sad event and nobody should be able to set an alarm clock to pick it up for their own personal gain.

I'm afraid in this instance you are labouring under a misconception. In the 10 years I have been idocing they were almost NEVER random, apart from the odd one now and then which might go an extra hour, you could, if you had taken the trouble to find out the stage lengths, work out to within a couple of minutes when they would fall. Why do you think some of these posts talking about players recalling in a few minutes before fall have been made? because the players concerned had guessed when they would fall? or had this escaped your vigilant eye.? Sufficient to say you are totally wrong, they were never random in the sense you have stated.
'Cheating is a completely separate issue and the people on this board consumed by cheating to the point where they seem to not be able to enjoy any aspect of the game(and there are more then a few of those wackos)will never be able to discuss anything impartially so imo their opinion means nothing'
Nice to know that in your impartial wisdom you can decree whose opinion is worthless . I do notice that you do not consider your own opinion to be in that category. Now that IS a surprise.
'How many people rant on here about cheating and don't even play anymore? Too many.'
I must defer to your obviously superior knowledge in this instance although how you can be certain is a matter of conjecture.
'Funny thing though is that every major MMORPG has the same % of cheaters so I don't know where they end up or what they expect?'
And what exactly is the relevance of this statement? Does that make it ok? because other games have them it is acceptable? Whatever the reason the relevance of this sentence is open to question.
'Cheating sucks but it exists everywhere. Deal with it & report it when you see it or just don't play maybe. But please stop tainting rational discussions with your obsession maybe?'
Finally a statement we can agree on, unfortunately the continuation leaves a little to be desired. 'REPORT IT' --- LOL you have got to be having a laugh. Your other alternative is no better, 'don't play' many of us would rather have the problem dealt with rather than just let the cheats win as you advocate.
I rather guess they face some players with tons of accounts, which they won't ban to keep the monthly income.
