there is another spot people abusing the instant respawn of a boss in a cemetary allowing people to keep leeching xp loot gold and level up to 60 without doing any real work and whole clans have used this i found it last night. i do think some spawns should be faster but not instant for a boss to allow people to keep leeching xp, loot gold and azoth without any real skills or effort while people have legit grinded their way honestly and not exploited their way to the end

So explaining giving facts is less important to you, you would prefer feelings and hate.
Personally most of my leveling has been from gathering and crafting which I love in this game. If I wanted to just kill things I’d do portals, better xp and more engaging then standing in one place clicking a mouse button. But each to their own.
Just doing my part to get this noticed and fixed!
I know everyone should play the game the way they want to and its sad playing this way can give such an advantage with little risk and effort. I hope people are punished for this action and its not like a blizzard punishment where its still more efficient to use it and take the 24hr ban. One can sit here for and hour and get a weapon 0-15+ that shouldnt be a feature.

this is the one that still being majorly abused by companys and players allowing them to get lv60 in no time or maxxed weapon skills with minimal effort.
The xp from it isn’t even that great. People were doing it on my server and I tried it out for a bit, only to go back to deadman’s cove and get more xp from that.
If it’s in the game, and it’s a game mechanic, then you can’t be banned for taking advantage of the game’s mechanics, can you? Lol
OMG, i wish the bear spawn was like that.
wow, lucky group.
My experience of that horrible quest spawn was running up there and then sat around for 10minutes waiting with a group of other people.
It spawned, the bear slapped someone to very low HP and then it died while being kited around by that guy, then a few more people showed up.
This video looks like they had a better time than me.
Not only that but they are increasing skinning skills as well
this makes absolute sense why the Syndicate on our server controls literally every Territory and all are above 50+ within the first week.
It’s pretty sad to be honest. Game is ruined week 1 and crickets from the devs.

Isn’t this the same streamer who was accused of view botting tho??? Not really surprised. If you go watch his stream, he doesn’t have many people viewing or chatting, yet had a shit ton of views.
Ok if there is a whole guild, I doubt every single person can get their skinning profession to 200, this might be true for a single person but not for 20+.
Also imho skinning is the easiest to level because in nearly every quest you have to kill some mobs - about 1/3 of that you can skin. As far as I saw it - most ppl only killed mobs and did no skinning at all. The mats might devalue a bit yes, but all in all the “thick skin” is bound to be cheaper because in higher level areas you only get this and not the “raw hide” anymore. Also while the one might devalue the other is bound to rise because you need it. Also I am usually a big fan of low prices for mats - this d
The amount of money is probably insignificant because if the problem would be so severe as you mentioned the prices would be crushed more or less instantly. Also I do not know about your server but on our server the companies that got the first area are “ruling” - because if you just compare the earnings with the expensures there you see the imbalance I talked about.
I don’t really feel like turning this into a circlejerk, you’re putting words in my mouth like I’m saying it’s severe… I said it’s a domino effect, I never called it severe, but it does have consequences. This post picks out one or 2 parts of my reply to you and ignores the rest for your convenience and touches on those that don’t matter in the slightest. Like, I do agree that skinning is already easier to level, the higher level ones give 600 xp per drop, comparing that to for example fishing where you mostly get 100-200 xp, it’s a no brainer that skinning is faster compared to that, it’s also totally not the point.
Again I’ll ask, in an MMORPG is it normal to you to be able to max out a skill in an hour or 2? If yes, we have totally different game experiences and it’s pointless. Also, this spiel about 20+ people benefitting is off the mark as well, it doesn’t matter if one person is skinning them or the entire group that’s there, the group is there to increase spawn rate and abuse a mechanic in place though when you look at the stats it’s very doubtful that “this might be true for a single person but not for 20+”.
Here’s some stats, as a 200 fisher there’s 0.1% that have that steam achievement, but globally it shows 0%, globally it shows 0% for 200 mining, 0% for logging, 0% for harvesting. and 3.3% of the playerbase shows as having 200 skinning, all pumping materials in the market. The fact that there’s such a divide between gathering skills should speak for itself.

So agreed why punish other players in mass ammount when other games didn’t aka destiny’s loot cave if amazon wants to keep a player base and not loose players to endwalker or lose ark… New world shouldn’t kick happy first few weeks of launch over old bugs that showed up. I still remember how they pushed this game back for polish 3 times. And no one went ok reported for exploting consumers time windows jokingly i see no legit reason to ban anyone for this server side issue as it’s server coding errors not a players errors. No knr hacked or modded the game code gods to break and be banned imo amazon issue this. Free pass next time after all exploits bugs whatever you call are all gone if someone abuses one after only after fixes with out reporting then ban but temporarily. It’s fair that way.
Can confirm, the entirety of the syndicate faction on my server is abusing this as well. Playing on Kay Pacha US East, the effects of the syndicate faction abusing this has caused them to be extremely over-leveled compared to anyone else NOT using this exploit. They are able to stomp out any war effort made against them, spawn camping due to overwhelming power is a common occurrence.
They don’t even try to deny it, many people call them out in global chat and they admit to the accusations. Server will slowly die to purple since no-one likes getting constantly stomped/ganked to over leveled exploiters.
it is a little odd, on other games, when theres a game breaking bug or exploit, they take servers down and fix it. so far i think this server has only had 1 maintaince day. I dunno if this is still happening, but I hope its fixed.
This “Exploit” was reportet multiple times in ALPHA in Closed Beta AND in Open BETA with their spawnrates.
AMAZON did Nothing !
Considering they read reports in alpha and betas, they KNEW there is a big fail in the game, and they still did nothing !
So why shoult this be considerd as an exploit and should be BAN-able ?
This is Amazons fault.

Skinning is HILARIOUSLY easy, legit just grinding my Armorsmithing to lvl 100 got me 200 skinning. In terms of weapon XP there are legit elite mob locations that accomplish the same thing. You can do this as early as level 25 with a group of 5 people.
I get that this is an issue and it needs to be fixed, but all these people acting like this will trash the economy for Rawhide (which will make it useless for them if that’s their goal), ruining the server because of Weapon XP speed (go to any of the several overworld elite areas with a group of 5 or more), or skinning (easiest trade skill in the game to level) needs to settle down.
TLDR: This is not a game destroying bug, but it does need to be addressed and resolved. So quick freaking out like this is the reason why your company is losing on your servers.

I am suprised you consider this an Exploit. I understand the Bear cave being an Exploit/Bug/Abuseable Spawnrate Area. But the Boar spawn? These things spawn fast on their own. you kill barely all of them and they respawn.
I agree this is Amazon fault / oversight. No punishment needed just keep it in the game at this point who cares if rawhide is going to be soon 0.01 ea and thick hide being 0.01 ea. Once they become level 55+ all the hide farming will stop and the prices will normalize again.
Bit of an alarmist, you do realise that 60 is max level which most will reach shortly, so they will all be on an equal level playing field again, so go stomp them back!
