Re: Bag of sending changes ...

Not bad per say, but I tink the stone limit is a little too low. PLus WTH was with the change in quest award amount? 4 or 5 per?

My gut instinct is that it was a good move.

Re: Bag of sending changes ...

It won't stop any cheaters. Scripters can just add some banking instructions into the script.

It will just affect the honest player, like all the bonehead moves EA comes up with to stop cheating.

Re: Bag of sending changes ...

Someone scripting to the bank every minute will draw more attention than someone just scripting in the wilds using bag of sending. perhaps, the value of bags of sending and powder will go up in value giving the little guys a chance at making some gold.

That's what I first thought.

Re: Bag of sending changes ...

Did it occur to anyone that this wasn't done to halt scripting, but instead to actually fix the game? It was the same case with the resource randomization, they had to come out and remind people, many of whom assumed it was a move against scripting, that the change was actually a move to improve the economy, i.e., the game (whether or not it works is a different topic).

This is the same case. Bags of sending are just one of many things that make UO unnaturally easy. Personally I don't see anything wrong with the concept of an item that can be used to transport another item to the bank, but bags of sending as they were simply abused the concept.

Re: Bag of sending changes ...

UO is naturally easy, because ppl cry, moan and throw temper tanrums on those other forums, till a developer makes it even more ridicously easier.

Re: Bag of sending changes ...

You're probably right about that. I just have a difficult time understanding why people initially assume it's a cheating fix.
