I have asked several times for wizards to look into rape prots. One more try!
I talked with some wiz on suomi-channel and he said that rape prots are the so
that everyone wont be running around with the same equipment. I still dont
understand why the hell everything in this game needs to take 2-5 years grind
rep do monsters AS fast as rape prots fades etc. Why do we need so long rape
prots. Most people just wanna collect things off/def/wis/int/spr gears whats
wrong with it? It not like the games going to end. Someone can always code a
better int/wis etc item and thats the next hottes thing to have. GK 3 month
prot is ridiculous. Lear 4-6month rape prots same. Stifsim same. Tenji/Akemi
"nekkid" masters 3months. Even kitiara 1 month rape prots is a laugh. Just
give that prot to Soth not like kiti eq is that good anyways and Skie prot is
way too long. Like someone said play batmud 1-2weeks do most eq monsters go do
something else for 1-3months come back play few days and so forth. Why does it
have to be like this? Why did we even get the rape prots in first place. (oh
well there are few people who rape eq cause it has worth on sales, just remove
this name wear tune and make that wear tune harsher or something, plus make
special items take dmg less)

desired equipment (though it of course becomes harder to get some items), but
instead they are mostly there to prevent inflation. That is, as a by-product
of raping a mob A for an item B, it also generates items C, D, E and F on a
daily basis if the monster can be killed every boot by everybody. And if the
game fills with items C, D, E and F (and also with
, their prices godrastically down and they lose their value. In the end we'd have every newbie
runnig around with eq that should be mostly obtained by high-end players or
very rich and industiral midbies.
So in a nutshell, the rape prots are not there to make you cry but instead
they are there to preserve the value of items you have spent lots of effort to
gather.
And of course this is just my view, but I believe it covers most of the rape
prots in the game. At least the prots my monsters have. Some special cases and
special wizards may have other motives behind their prots, though...

C, D, E and F are already worthless. Usually this is because those items are
crap, no one has any use for them even if there were only couple of them in
game. Having 3-month on a mob doesn't make those items any more valuable.
Also when the rapeprots keep the price of C, D, E and F "normal", this being
the case when they are actually useable by someone, they also inflate the
prices of A and B abnormally high compared to their stats.
Rapeprots are needed to prevent daily raping, but currently rapeprots last
from a week, which is ok, to several months, which doesn't make any sense.
Does anyone think that killing a mob once a month is raping? The problem with
long rapeprots is that even people who don't have the prot are affected by
them with the current player base. If you want to kill a mob that has a four
month rapeprot, but two different parties have killed it a week ago, getting a
party full of players without prot is next to impossible.
