    Quest Backup

    Am I the only one who thinks it's kind of annoying how people are constantly posting asking for quest backup?

    I miss the days when collecting r99s was actually an accomplishment. Back when people used to have to post in their gallery "DONT NM ME ASKING FOR QUEST BACKUP". Now a days everybody is too eager to help out. The only reason I can think for this change is now people can sell their crappy r99s and make some NPs.

    Just seen a couple of these and was thinking something similar myself. I don't particularly find it annoying but I have noticed that the people asking don't seem to have any collection of their own to add to the pool of backup items. Also I seem to notice it more and more lately, which is a bit odd? Or maybe I've just been frequenting TC more.

    When I clicked on this board I genuinely thought you were going to be asking for backup for one of your quests

    Yeah they don't seem to put any effort these days which also brings the value down for these powerful weapons that are the top prize...

    It's mad annoying especially when questers with 5 r99s continuously quest as a means to make nps all while deflating the weapons by the day. It really takes no effort nor talent to quest all you need to do is make a board and just hope someone online has the item.

    Mannn I've got the opposite problem. I'll break down my wodfs into r99s in hopes that they inflate back to a decent price haha

    I've tried gouging people on R98s/R99s for quests, but so many people are eager to help and the market is so flooded it's not even worth it.

    I think it comes from having a smaller user base, creating a smaller market to sell R99s to and less people to buy R99s from. Before there were a lot more R99s in constant circulation by active users, but now it is just a few people out there. Also there are less people circulating R99s around except to do these quests, so sellers are more desperate to push their items and so they get more active on the boards to sell.

    with CC people have hundreds of basically unsellable r99s. The only way to sell was to lurk quest boards.
    also I think a few guys on the TC were going around telling users not to help out on quests
