How will they screw us this time?

I was just starting to accept the deathstrike and bushido nerfs... well not really, I still think that was retarded.
But now, I find that my bag of sending is weight based?
Like on charge per stone of weight? Then I just read that swoops have been nerfed? I'm sure there are others I havent discovered yet.

I know that someone, somewhere in the powers that be think these are brilliant ideas. Do they actually play the game? Someone said they are trying to kill "gold farming" Ok the UO economy is kinda screwy due to the whole duping thing, I get that. But have these people ever heard of escalation? The people that want to cheat will cheat. They always find a way.

"So hey I got an idea, lets screw up the game for everyone and maybe we will get the cheaters in the process.. god I'm brilliant, EA give me a raise!"

/agree lets do a patch which screws everyone hoping to make it a little harder on scripters. Well guess what it might for a day or two but they will figure out a new way to cheat it is inevitable and the rest of us are trying to figure out how to just get by.

This bag of sending thing is crap. I couldn't even send a piddly 10K in gold, and when I sent 5k, it took the first batch but not the second. Not to mention wasting 10 charges trying, as at first it showed no useage of the charges on the bag when it failed, but did shortly thereafter. This BS is totally ridiculous.

Simply for the sake of my own curiosity, why do you think weight-based bags of sending is a bad idea? Or in other words, what are the negative effects of this change?

I actually don't have a problem with reducing the BOS abilities, and even making it weight based, but this went to the extreme. It now simply costs more gold to send a bag than you can send. I have no problem paying a "commission", but 100%+ is a little excessive. What it now requires is a Sacred Journey for my dexxer to and from the bank fairly frequently. When I can only play 1-2 hours a day that cuts into my ability to make gold to pay for overpriced "artifacts" and "items", hence taking longer to acquire them. Meantime, I'm sorry, but it won't stop scripters...they'll simply add a few lines of code and be right back at it. In fact, they probably have their beta scripts running.

How about you eliminate the BOS from Fel entirely, to reduce scripting? Or, how about at LEAST making it 50 or 100 stones per send instead of 10 as a maximum? It's not that I totally dislike the the concept, what bothers me is that I have to alter my gameplay to accomodate scripters actions, when in fact they will hardly be affected. So once AGAIN, the average UO player pays, while the scripters are unaffected. I'd much rather have the GM's actually investigate reports of scripting, rather than have requests put "in the queue" for 4 hours.

You could always go to doom and earn your arties they drop like pancakes now.

So I've heard. Doom's ok, but not my favorite. I know it sounds lame, but I'll pass up an Inquisitor's right now for a stupid set of virtue legs. You wouldn't believe how much of this crap I have and for the life of me I can't get a set of the legs. My kingdom for the legs lol.

:| I'd never wear that virtue set

Nor would I...wouldn't be caught dead in it. But I would like a set to go along with some other armor sets I have. I'm trying to set up "vendors" in my house to display various armor sets I've acquired in game, an idea I picked up from a guildie.

hmmm sounds fun.
