[Discussion] My 2016 Drop List

Restless

As I have been doing the last couple years, I am going to post the drops I got throughout the year, and the ones I didn't get at the events I attended. I know my counts aren't near as good as the peeps that use 3rd party programs but I feel I do pretty good for manually running everything. I do events on 13 shards (all american shards and drach), and on most of the shards I use 2 accounts, a thrower or archer and a tamer (basically just send dragon on boss and then control thrower/archer for the rest of the fight, if he dies then I hop back on tamer and heal all i can). I use 3 accounts on GL (2 tamers and 1 thrower) which is a pain but is easier since they do 2 bosses and normally split them. and I just use 1 account on Atl (because it is so crowded and busy and multiple bosses that i just do a lot of healing while my dragon is on one guy) and just 1 account on Cats (because those dramnar events are so damn long i sometimes dont attend at all). Anyways, not counting duplicates I got 75 different drops (27 more counting duplicates) at events this year and missed 48. I also don't count attendance based drops like brit spy stuff. So I got drops at 75 out of 123 drops attempted which is about 61%. Pretty good year I would say, I added some more characters to the mix earlier this year, by comparison last year I got 62 different drops (6 more counting duplicates) and missed 57, or 52%. Listed below are the ones I got and didnt get.

Okay, so not trying to be rude or anything, but does anyone else find it kind of crappy that the list of items "got" include a number of multiple items "got"? I know, I know, blah-blah-blah, spends a lot of time training", blah-blah-blah, "life revolves around going to events", blah-blah-blah, but in my opinion, THIS is exactly what's wrong with the events. Looking at the list of "gots" I see drops from a number of events that I had attended, and while I'm certainly not accusing anyone of using illegal programs, I would find it difficult to believe that some of this was achieved without. Sure the redcap thing, and some of the others where you (generally) got a drop if you got rights (although three redcaps and five AtoGau skulls seems suspicious), some of these required constant healing from stompers, and curing poison, etc.

I sincerely believe that the rares community is one of the two or three pillars that keep UO going (one of the others being the pvpers), but I'm beginning to think that the "holier than thou" rares community maybe just as suspect as the hardcore pvpers when it comes to illegal programs.

I know the discouragement after busting your butt at an event to try to stay alive, and while trying to grab a boss's bar with six-thousand dragons clouding the way, and getting nothing, and then see the same folks, event after event, spamming "selling tonight's drop...have two" even while the em is still talking. A number of the rares community proclaim to love uo, but I think that some (many?) are part of the problem.

Again, not accusing the initial poster of any wrong-doing, but thought that this would be an interesting place to mention the possibility of what I've discussed above. I'd love to hear other thoughts on this topic.

People absolutely use 3rd party programs, and it is very easy normally to tell who does. I do not and I explained my set up for events in the original post. I can understand how me getting 5 of the ato-gau skulls seems suspect, and I was amazed myself that I got 5 of them, however here is how I did it... it was on GL (where i already stated I use 3 accounts) there were 2 bosses separated from each other by a gate, and it was an all drop. I had 2 of my guys fighting 1 boss using tactic mentioned in original post and had other tamer put dragon on the other boss. The boss with the 2 guys on it died significantly quicker than the other one so when he died I ran both those guys through the gate and used them on the other boss as well. Since it was an all drop I got 5 of them that way. My method has problems though, when the bosses die super quick then I normally dont get rights with either of my guys because I have to send dragon to fight on one account and then hop on other account to start with my ai's on thrower, and quick death bosses normally mean my dragon didnt do enough and I don't get enough ai's off on thrower to get rights.
If you want to look for the guys that use 3rd party programs just look for guys that are always standing on top of each other doing the exact same thing at the same time. If you wanna watch me at events then normally I am on a guy named Dreadnaught and a guy named Mandrake (not always though, depends on the shard, sometimes on Restless, Exile, Catalyst, Havoc Bane). Feel free to look for me and watch me, I have nothing to hide.

So you are having your PET continue to fight while you are on another account doing something else. You do understand having you PET fight while you are unattended is against the rules so is consider cheating as well. Oh wait I bet you are going to tell everybody that you use 3 separate computer systems to play UO.

Nope, I use 1 computer and if letting my pet fight while I'm doing something else is against the rules then I guess I am breaking the rules.

As long as you're not using a script to heal the dragon while you're not on that client, personally, I don't think that's doing anything wrong. I don't see much difference between telling a dragon to kill and then ignoring what happens after, and my sending a pair of EVs after one boss while running after another to throw e-bolts.

not bragging, just stating my year end results. if you have attended a dozen or so events (that had drops) and havent gotten one yet then you must not be getting looting rights on the boss, and I am more than willing to help anyone with how to best get rights if they wanted
