Somewhere popps is orgasming...
rotflmao... too funny!!
Is it too hard for you people to understand that many CRAFTERS (not just popps) were the ones wanting ML ingredients to spawn?
...that when a poll was done on UO Craftsman, those in favor of such drops from T-maps was running about 6 to 1 in favor, with primarily the forum regulars voting, until some of you found out about the poll and voted? (and still ended up the majority in favor for some form of these drops)
As easy as it is to have fun at popps' expense, even a broken clock is right twice a day, and this was one of those circumstances.
Tell me, how often are you using those 6-property T-map chest items? Or those surge shields? Runed Sashes??? 6 essence or other imbuing ingredient- which takes longer, farming in the abyss for 6 of the one you want, or doing level 6 maps into you blunder into 6 of the one you need?
As long as the net boxes don't include the boss-specific items, this is a good thing, though perhaps a bit too little (being white net only, and the difficulty of getting a white net, and avoiding scalis).
Oh, yeah - 3 months later, STILL no Taint for sale on my shard, and the soloable peerless areas bugged to where the entire party get frozen for up to a minute, everyone often having to restart the client, leading to a total party kill even if you went in with 6 people and 3 Greater dragons against mel or dread. (this has happened 4 of the last 10 peerless I've attempted; no two of us in the party were in the same state, let alone on the same ISP)
