Ok, there as been some concern expressed about full DL people getting drops to repay people. most like the idea, but thing some are lying. so, what i suggest is a post in this thread to with the people you owe (and what you owe them). That way, if you say you owe something you dont, we will all know.

I can start.

I owe LostGirl: 2 yellow Idols

(I am not going to post those who owe me)

hopefully this will help those who are concerned.

thanks

Can I say "I told you so?!" or is that too cliche?? ;)

No one ever questioned that it could be abused. in fact, we mentioned that if it was abused it would become obvious fairly quickly (which it has). However, i think it is good that we try to find ways, as a community, to advance everyone. And i also like how we tend to resolve issues that arise. No one ever expected these policies to perfect from the get-go.

Let's try to use this thread as a way to fix things going forward by coming to a consensus. Not as a way to lay blame on someone.

thanks

I dont like the idea of people who already have full Dl get drops its unfair to the others who have barely anything.

I owe Akbar/Xyn two blue eggs.

Edit for clarification: I have received other items, but they were either outright gifts or trades. This is my current loan balance. ;)

I originally voted NO for this exact reason but changed my mind because I was optimistic that everyone would work together. Unfortunately, true character has been displayed by some and I'm over it. I'm not worried about completing it anymore. I'll only accept invites from certain people and I'm going to avoid large general groups. It's become a huge waste of time and $ helping under leveled ungrateful players get items.

I would like to so bd99's owing list as it seem's she owes an infinite amount of items. Believe she recently conned a friend of mine and just about conned me as well.

well, the problem Grizz, is that many have helped others get full DL. For example I gave LostGirl the last horn she needed for the BP. But i might not have if i knew she could never pay me back. She is still allowed to dice for that horn even though she has the BP specifically so she can pay me back (we will ignore, for the moment, that you need horns for offhand).

So how can we help people who cannot, by virtue of being helped, help us back in return.

I think most of the time the system is working just fine. But we do have reports of abuse and should deal with them.

Unless we had a system where the drops simply were pooled and went to the highest level, most active players to get them full armor and then go on and on down the line, this seems like the best system.

The way drops go and the time people have to play, it is going to take forever to get a lot of people full sets if each simply had to wait for their own drops.

Going a step further, it might also help if everyone simply add a post about what they already have. That way, if they are close and someone wants to give them something or trade for something else, they can.

I have 4 green gems, a green idol, a green urn, and a green egg (on loan to venus).

And an extra yellow gem. In need of grand shards.

Thanks for addressing this issue. If people want to lend/repay and continue dicing, as long as they post here so we can keep track, it should stay fair.
