Ok, so here I am, I macro for 3 real days collecting Sos bottles...
.. I'm out fishing up bottles for nearly 6 hours straight (real time), and the best magic item I'm able to fish up is "Expert"?!
WTF
ZZzzzz fighting the urge to take a nap.
I think I'll go play some PS3 now instead.

Stuff for nothing should be mainly rubbish. No risk should be low loot. Maybe they should make a chance of disturbing some angry bad ass sea turtles or something if they are going to up the loot on sos.
Maybe make sos more rare and up the loot a lot. Then make it like tmaps with some defenders. Something difficult for a ranger to solo so you need a fleet of boats with people on them. Make it bit more useful to be in a faction with team hunting and all that.
Maybe you should lose your boat if it's not tied in at a dock. And you've got to keep money in the hold which goes to a harbour master which makes money for the town's faction.
I kinda like the idea that factions can start making money from services. Dunno what else you could use. Maybe this static house idea to rent a room. You've got to keep money in a certain chest In your room and it takes out 1k a day or something which goes to the faction. You lose your house if you can't pay the rent you have to buy your belongings back from an npc bailiff ^_^
I'm getting a bit off topic.
Stick some monsters on sos!

Seems like on OSI's Sos quests, they had a monster you had to kill (Kraken or octopus) in order to get the treasure.
It would be a fair trade-off to have to kill something in order to get better loot.
.. not everyone wants to go hunt balrons, etc for the same ol same ol every day.
Would be a lot better to have the Sos offer better items, and a fleet of boats?... I don't think we really need this server's 3-5 people that play on a regular basis.. to ALL be out hunting 1 sos map at a time.
Sure we've seen 20-30 people on at a time here and there, but ya know 99% of them are just macroing.

lol I'm hoping Prom has a notepad by his desk that he writes all my ideas down in for when this server is 200-300 strong  I know I'm not remembering any of them. Like the general idea of mixing it up a bit on the hunting side. |

I do indeed write down absolutely everything, no matter how trivial. Most suggestions are good ideas, such as mobs popping out for SOSs, but I don't have the time to script it all and other stuff takes priority. |
