Some level 70 toon was complaining in /ooc that Permafrost was broken.
He wanted to try and solo Lady Vox since it seemed easy for a group of
mid 50's to deal with and should be "piece of cake" for a single 70
toon to kill.

But everytime he got close, the dragon just threw him to the EF zone
in.

Last time I fought Vox, I was a mid 50's beastlord and I haven't been
able to get close at 64 when I was doing my epic in PF. And yes there
were lots of snickering in my guild over that moron. I always get a
kick whenever some high level toon suddenly appeared and tries to be
"smart" while getting lots of things wrong.

My favorite so far was a 55 chanty who claimed to have been a EQ
player since Kunark and was invited to PoV group. He ended up in HoH
somehow and couldn't figure out where on the map "west wall" was.

It's entirely reasonable to suppose that someone could level from 1 to
70 without ever hearing of Vox, let alone knowing her and her buddy's
special move. There are probably a fair number of newer players who've
never set foot on Antonica, even. Maybe even Norrath!

Easy to click the wrong one in the Tranq hall of stones, the first few
times.

Well, yes, it is hard to see a west wall on a map of HoH. Maybe he just
hadn't played in PoP much? Who sells - or buys - a level 55 chanter?

That's true. But one would notice something was wrong if you didn't
get Entering Plane of Valor. Yet that 55 chanty didn't seem to notice
he ended up in the wrong zone.

The thing is map usually aren't marked with camp spots like west wall.
Maybe some maps from elsewhere but maps provided by SoE don't have
camps.

Check eBay, I've seen account(s) with a low level toon or 2. Usually
someone who wants to get out of EQ and not grinding & selling high
level toon for money.
