2103, I know you hate him and all but...

>Eventually it becomes public anyway? What the #### are you talking about. Nothing becomes "public" just because ten different people do a quest.

Thats right, it becomes public in certain circles only so we can ignore that but some quests actually spread IC too.


>What is the solution?
>There are several:
>- change a quest every time it becomes well known.
>( may be annoying to coders )

>This has already stopped happening.

Well sure I can see imms being bitter about their quests being posted, but there must be so many quests left thats never been posted.

>- make its reward "not overpowered".
>( personally I would like it )

>So then everyone gets this not overpowered reward...then bitch and moan because they think they are entitled to it. Perfect example...travelling boots.

But you yourself(imms not your personally) say that it is only a small minority of the players that usually whine, and that is true. Sure you can be bitter about it, I know I sure would be but many of the quests adds quite alot to the area and cf as a whole.

>- disable a quest
>( hardcore solution :) )

>Which is likely what will continue to happen. It's the simplest solution.

Sure, one some cases I can see it would be the only solution, but sometimes it hurts the game alot. And yes I realise I cannot order you to work 10 hours to rewrite a quest because some moron posted it, but those posts rarely happen not publicly, it is only small cheating groups I would imagine who continue to spread this info.


>Uhm...again...what the #### are you talking about. We write them...we put them out there...we want them to be enjoyed by people who like puzzles, not by some #### who was told step-by-step how to do it. This is why they get yanked instead of changed.

I love when I manage to solve a quest, my first large high level quest I solved was amazing. Spend hours doing it, sure it would have been much more sad if I had used some guide, but even more sad would be if it did not exist at all. People should not be afraid to speak with the imms about quests just because some morons posted a guide to some of them, I like a discussion but sometimes it feels like I'm to blame because the quests are disappearing when I discuss.

Anyway, good luck with your little child and hopefully you dont take this the wrong way.
