1) Put thieves back to game
2) Make eq that has name on it immune to true steal
3) other eq gets the thieves name on it when stolen.

... ah the joy of seeing "Radagast did the heroic deed..." ,)
Dont do any of these things. I dont have time to sit 5h+ in row just to get
some eq and the fact that they break should be big enough punishment.

And make reinc exp gathering faster, reincs are getting really booring. Rep
punishes reincers already.

I agree on the above, and would like to add that implementing that would, once
again, make highbies even more powerful whereas midbie/newbie players who as
far as i know aren't able to make decent eq now would suffer. My equipments
gets blown in pieces pretty fast as it is, no need to make it any worse.

I disagree with Nobbs strongly. I don't think every midbie (including myself)
should have the top eq.
Every fucking level 50ish player having top eq made by same 20 or so top
players who do all the top eq in here has fucked up the economy and cause
issues like rape prot that is just bullshit.

As a solution I suggest following:
1) make rapeprots last one or two full years.
2) make eq that is done during rapeprot only wearable / wieldable by the
members of the party doing the monsie.

summa summarum, newbies/midbies should IMO only have eq they are able to make
themselves (possibly with the help of 8 of those 20 top players who do all the
top eq in here, though)

You seemingly did not get the point. I and propably many others just cant get
5h+ time in a row to sit in front of computer. Infact I have had 3 of such
opportunies in last 3 years. To nolifers this seems to be hard to understand.
Instead i can easilly play 1h per day for 4-5 days in a week. So i can do
money to buy eq but i cant do it. Get it?

Well, that's another big flaw in the current system. Eq is damn time consuming
to make. You have to nolife far too long in a single session to make any
decent eq. I'd rather see the system modified so that you'd need to spend time
preparing for killing the eqmonsie beforehand (and you could to this under the
course of week or two weeks or so) and then just go and kill the monsie in
hour or two.

But yeah, that ain't gonna happen because it would require pretty much
recoding the whole mud.
