A miner poem for Eppy

The menance of the earth elementals arises.
Always lurking, always preying upon him.
Slayers are forged, skills are learned.
The Miner rises and overcomes.

Loot comes and loot goes.
But agapite and valorite will never be the same.
The market collapses, profits vanish.
The Miner plans and waits.

Half a year of waiting and preparing goes by.
Autumn is finally here.
The crown of the monster of the month will be passed soon.
The Miner smiles and is ready to harvest the fruits.

Then suddenly @eppy arrives.
LOLOLLOLLL he yells.
Earth elementals are now trolls.
The Miner cries... YOU BASTARD!

I would like to see if any of those changes benefited UOF in terms of AFK macros and or abusers. Did this really accomplish their goals? @Staff

I am curious as well because I know other techniques, on other servers, that have been used before in the past was a window that pops up on your screen randomly with a math equation or a question (which was simple, but to prevent afking). This made you be around the computer to physically answer the question(s) and it would be a different window would pop up, so it was a screen like the logout confirmation is. You were not able to script a response because the question(s) were never the same, probably eventually, but, you would have to go through several hundred/thousand, before you would find out. Might be something to consider, if afk resource gathering is still an issue.
