What is something you learned this TLP that you didn't know in the last one?
/autoskill
TBH I thought /autoskill was still level 61 required until Teek started up. Not sure when that got changed. Probably during the 2-4 years I was barely playing.
So I'd also say that one. What's something else... hmm, Ivandyr's Hoops. Didn't know about that one, somehow.
Bet they're a reference to Evander Holyfield and his infamous ear situation.

/waypoint + loc co ords will give you a path to that loc.
Only been added this decade so relatively new change but super handy to find your way to those locs in the zam comments.

Found out about that one a couple servers ago but it was a game changer for sure and it's surprising how many folks don't know about it even today. Basically lets you get a Find path to any NPC you know the loc of. Super useful for finding anything in the jumbled monstrosity called Freeport.

SG botters are probably punching holes through walls seeing krono are now priced at 225k going into Velious. This is literally 10x what the prices of krono were even on Mischief when Velious launched. I remember clearing PoF trash mobs and thinking how awesome it was getting 10-15k in plat loot due to the ridiculous amount of gems dropped. Now you gotta clear PoF 20 times to get enough plat loot to buy 1 krono!
I find it kinda funny that on a pretty popular server like Quarm that has been up for 4x longer than Teek - someone like Quarken who is the 3rd richest person on the server could not afford a single krono at Teek's price point. Pumping articial platinum into the economy is such garbage, if there's not a dupe the GMs decide they will do it!

On every server at some point platinum farming becomes not worth it. When that happens most just switch to AE Pling and farming raid loot. AE PLing and selling raid loot is more krono than just plat farming.

Zaide made some good points on his latest podcast. Specifically that the AE PLing has reached epidemic proportions on TLPs. The so-called crackdown on cheating accomplished absolutely nothing as we knew it would. It was a token gesture, empty words. A lot of the farmers that are moving on from the platinum farming of group content, relatively minding their own business in loot camps, are become more toxic and aggressive in the TLP experience. They are spurred on by the need to try to make a living on EQ.
The result is
1. more cheating than any previous TLP in history (a trend that seems to only continue unabated year after year now)
2. total disruption of instances of SolA, SolB, Hole, Chardok, and Sebilis from AE PL groups (and there's more AE groups each year now too)
3. Contesting of Epic camps, as the # of epic farmers on Teek skyrocketed as the plat became more worthless from the plat dupe (more epic farmers each year now)
In the past, they used to ban RMT farmers who aggressively contested epic camps to sell the loot. The Enchanter "Spoon" is just a more recent example of them nerfing another camp to try to stop this behavior. Hell, they even nerfed the fucking "guards" in cities to try to stop plat farming. It's absurd. They nerf a few guards that have been around 25 years, and a spoon, but let the epic rmt farmers operate with complete impunity this year. Darkpaw, as usual, has the logic of a sad low-level gnoll named Fippy! But rather than doubling down this year, they let it run wild. It's truly the wild, wild west on Teek this year. They aren't banning anybody for contesting epic camps. Their gestures to do things like nerf guards and change the spoon camp seem asinine in retrospect. They aren't even really suspending the AErs for running people over with 100 trains this year either. They just let it all ride and rick roll to whatever end. A year of cocaine and meth dreams ala "the new vision," which belongs to the sweaty PLers and Epic farmers. May they make rent another year!
This is a Teek epic camp in 2024

Banning people selling a service that the players will go to great lengths to pay for won't solve anything. Hollys attitude of casuals shouldnt get to kill naggy was a haughty and dismissive one, but the reverse is what we have now. Casuals, bad players, and generally just poor quality dad gamers, all want what basement dwellers and autistic sociopaths want, and nobody wants to be told no. Monk epic? MUST have it. Pug? Im too good for that, and must be 60.
So naive question from someone who hasn’t played in ages. How is that possible with Sleeper’s Tomb keys needing medallions. Even if you got every mob that dropped them, it would be less than 10 right?

Shared loot can be a mob that doesnt normally drop a talisman, suddenly does(flip side a mob that does usually drop one can not drop one). Then bonus loot means you might more get more than 1. Tack on splits of the easier mobs and its pretty easy.
were you in the dps raid or the tank raid.. the tank raid technically didn't beat anything.
