I couldn’t imagine my game time being spent running around the map reporting people. sad
whats it like having such a hollow existance? asking for a friend
If this is an “exploit” in an MMO I want no part of it. This is literally what we did in Everquest to lvl, sit and farm spawns, thats part of being an open MMO / Sandbox, and then we have No good’s reporting for legit xp farming.

Bump, Still an issue.
Don´t u guys farm every Boss till it drops every item u want? Idk, just fix the spawntimes. It´s not the fault of the players, its the game. Simple.

Hopefully the fix will just be a tuning of the spawn rate, not some heavy handed reaction to certain players not understanding that aoe grinding a spot or repeat farming a boss for an item you want is standard mmorpg behaviour.

I really hope that the fix will just be a tuning of the spawn rate.
I think we have a lot of players who are not used to playing in an mmorpg environment. They do not seem to understand that aoe grinding in a spot or repeat farming a boss for an item you want is standard mmorpg behaviour.
If grinding in a spot MMORPG style is not allowed Ill drop this game faster than a bad date.

Why are you reporting people for normal mmorpg behaviour?
I have been playing these games for 20 years and in just about every one people aoe grind in certain spots or repeatedly farm a certain boss for a prized item.
The spawn rates need tweaking a bit in certain areas for sure but its not something to report people over to try and get them into trouble.

When its clear its not as intended. but you still use it. is clearly a you problem and if there is any sort of punishment you should expect it. For two because it would impact so many ignorant people I would not recommend a punishment for the good of the game.
They made a mass world they want you to explore. its pretty clear this was not intentional. if there is a punishment because you exploited the spot so be it. its your own fault no matter how you look at it. HOWEVER it is so wide spread now that it would impact too many people to issue a punishment of anything past a warning. But if it is more severe than that you made your own bed.
but what do i know its really only putting 2 and 2 together. I’m sure someone is itching to disagree!!
In the end it f***s up the Hide economy. And additionally i cant finish my quest 
I never looked at it from a mats perspective because I come from EQ and killing mobs like this is just how you got xp there. I feel for those that are affected by the economy, whether it stinks or not is up for debate. If you were on my server Id supply you with furs free of charge, im not a tradeskiller, I just enjoy relaxing and killing. Never went to the boars, I like the undead towns, more xp and still fast respawns.
Maybe they could make it crystal clear what would and wouldn’t be classed as exploiting then. They’ve been particularly slow at stopping what would clearly be seen as exploiting in other games so a lot of us have maybe been missing out when we could have been “XP grinding”.
Do you really try to compare grinding a regular spawn spot or a boss with standing on a roof doing nothing than killing the same weak enemy that cant hurt you in any way for tons of exp and mats?
People havnt complained because of the grinding it self but because of the overpowered spot and its not that difficult to get that this was way to heavy and too easy.
I was there only for the quest and already after 10 pigs i thought that this could not be the intention of creating this place for the devs.
An Elite Zone or a Boss is a whole other level. In the Elite Zones there are many different type of mobs, some easy and some little more hard. And you are running trough it. Theres a chance to die maybe…
The Boss has some mechanics etc. but this spot was just standing an killing the same weak pigs.
Cant you see the differenz between this and a boss that you reach after a whole dungeon or running an elite mob zone and that it was unfair when you compare it with regular ways or lets say „other“ ways to gain exp?
*change every „was“ to „is“ bcause its not fixed
Its like farming iron ore but you dont move because the one ore that you found has an instant respawn. The Farming is not the problem but the ore spot.
In other MMO games in such a case there where rollbacks of many players because of bugs that where tracked and the players lost their exp after the bug was done.
they said number, not speed. Move along.
Nothing I saw complained about a roof. It was about the speed. When I passed through there doing a quest there were a few on top of something but a lot more on the ground.
Although I have not taken part in this it sounds similar to a cheese that used to exist in Rift. They fixed it and moved along. No bans, no roll backs. Perhaps there is an instance out there that those things happened for the same kind of situation but not in any game I have played, and I have played a lot.
The crazy part is this isn’t even the best place to farm thick hide. There’s lots of competition here with other players, when you can just go to any t4 wolf den when you’re past 50 1 shot them all then skin them and they’ll be back up to kill again by the time you’re done.
