So, I've been busting my *** for the least year or so, as time has allowed me, in creating a pp guide for all zones up to about lvl 75-80. I find myself finally about 25% done, with so much left to go, and I'm wondering about the point of it given the slowly decreasing number of players.
Basically, I'm running through all these zones with an 85 Warrior, spending exactly 1 hour in each zone, tracking how much pp I make from vendor loot and cash drops, and then, taking into account the likely speed at which someone at the zone appropriate level might go through, and basing, on that and other evidence, which zones are potentially best and worst both for each level group, and all levels in general. My intent will be to rank them on a scale of 1-10 for zone appropriate level, and again 1-10 for all levels. I may change this to be a percent based system or something else later on, but I don't know quite yet how I'll be presenting the final product.
If I was to follow through and finish this, and post it here, would there be enough interest to make it worth it? Would it be worth bothering to make a sticky? Should I keep going? Or is this just silly and there are plenty of perfectly fine guides out there?
I mean, I'm doing all zones because sometimes, and I know I''m not the only one, we get tired of TSS zones(although I will say that some of these have surprised me with how absolutely terrible they are for plat and loot, looking at Stone Hive for a really good example due to the sheer amount of wasted time spent not picking up the stupid amount of NODROP **** whose images look like the sellable ****), and the popular farming zones(The Hole, PoF, etc.), and want options for other places to go other than the known alternatives, just to keep the game interesting, and for the excuse to explore the entire world of Norrath and all it has to offer.
What do you guys think?
