I notice this done by some players near JOJ.
Some of them they drop coins, pick them back, drop it again, pick back and so on for I dont know how many times and then they log out .
And my question is why they doing this?
I think I seen 5 or 6 different players doing this in different days.

That is a fast way to pass coin to another toon. What they do is squad their other toon then drop coin on the joly toon so coin get divided on the 2 toons when they grab it again, this until the toon they are giving coin gets the amount they need. b:bye0

This. Coin drops are split between squad members so someone multiclienting a Jolly alt can do this to pass their coin over without having to move it.
It's the same thing as people dropping coin and then picking it up after Full Warsongs or (former) BH Lunars and the like to split the profit amongst the squad.(Insert fancy image here)0 -
Stupid of me. Ofc is the simple explanation.How the hell this didnt come to my mind?
I knew about this way of giving coins from a toon to another and still I was watching those players at JOJ doing this and wandering: why the hell they do this?
Thanks for answers.0 -

not really.. for trade you're supposed to be next to the alt, while in squad you can get your coins even if your alt is in Lost City and you're in Lotharis for example.. so splitting coins from squad is faster if you're not camping with your main near JOJ0 -

Exactly. I tend to pass coins from my JJ characters to my main character who is often in Archosaur. I'm far too lazy to take her to JJ when I can just squad and drop coins.
Of course, it can be risky if you have a poor internet connection. For anyone with d/c issues I would highly recommend trading.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

How is it exploited? It is just a series of quests that give a small amount of coin. Even having multiple accounts running it daily it takes awhile to add up to any serious amount.
If you want to remove that because people use it as a way to make money, better remove TT too because people that can solo farm that make a heck of a lot more in a short amount of time.
I really don't get why this bothers people. The only ones that could make a lot of money from this are people who make piles of accounts - which is not allowed, but everyone shouldn't be punished for the actions of those people. At any rate, running all of the quests on that many accounts would be hellishly time consuming and tedious. Better off farming something else to make money faster if you have that kind of time.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

It's easily abusable too. If those promos that give you free Profundity Scrolls are active it takes a few minutes to create an account of the right level range to spam that quest. Making a hundred accounts would take maybe a couple of days then you can bot the quest / account switching to get like 10m coins a day. It wouldn't surprise me if there are people who have automated the account creation as well to have maybe thousands of accounts.
Hopefully there are safeguards in place against this but this is PWE we are talking about.

You're obviously right. But once again the problem is maybe not the quest in itself but people who would automate it. As farming coins by killing mobs has never been a problem when people were really playing. But it is a problem when bots are involved.~ Sage Mystic 105-105-105 ~

This thread has derailed a little in a way I didnt want too. I would have alot to say about last comments but I would rather not. I dont want to start a fight or something and I really dont want to argue about JOJ.
So can please a moderator close this thread?
b:thanks in advance.0 -
Mods are too busy abusing their power to close threads on the request of the OP like they typically do. b:cute(Insert fancy image here)0
