+1, groups farming this, he re-spawns immediately on death
I don’t care that groups are farming it. I care that I can’t complete the quest to kill him because tagging isn’t enough, you need to deal 25% of his hp or something along those lines to get credit. It’s an issue for most quests like this and it needs to be fixed to just being a tag on the mob.
Take Scratchy the bear in Windsward - an elite mob quest, many people doing it, only one person can skin for the quest reward. Why is this a design to begin with?

Was also purple when I went to do it. When I asked nicely if I could join their group for one of their kills to get completion for my quest they said no and laughed at me.
Hello, today on Ife, people do the same with this boss.
You can up your weapon really quickly it’s insane…
not really an exploit (a bug within the game that allows users to get an unfair advantage that other’s can’t attain), more of an abuse, quick fix would be to have the boss’s exp moved to the completion of the quest, instead of on kill.
e.g. “The boss is meant to spawn faster when more people are within the area.” instead of “this boss bugs out and spawns instantly when these people are here”

And unfair leveling and items gain is not the only problem of this respawn rate boost. In some locations it is impossible for solo player to complete quest by looting suply crate, because mob is located within this crate and respawns faster then you are able to loot this crate. For example, the crate that is located near Amrine Excavation

Yeah Problem ist still not fixed
Question is, what is gonna happen if they fix it. i doubt they gonna remove the items/weapon xp the people got or even ban them.
Royllo Server Today around 1330 CST.
I don’t believe this is fixed, seems folks are still exploiting this.
That’s just my opinion. No clue how long they were there, or how long they stayed. I barely got a tag on it, just enough for a drop or 2, but 0 xp. They are killing it too quick. I’m glad I don’t have a quest for him.
Might wanna look into this as it appears it’s still working. Maybe lower the xp gain more?
Thanks
Lou
Also happening in Aepyornis, very sad…
Best case scenario they slow it down so others cant abuse it but no way are they are going to punish those who got high levels abusing respawns (if they could even figure out who they were).

The same is happening on Runeberg. Huge group killing Pastor Walsh over and over again.

A bug that is being an exploit is an exploit. LOL there is no way to swing this one.
I think game servers keep track of how many mobs of particular type player killed (for achievements system), if so, then its seems possible to detect players with unusual kill count of elite mobs and punish them for bug exploit.
New level of exploit. This afk players use automation tools to spam autoattack on elit mob that cannot hit them. You dont need to physicaly be at computer, just go to sleep and wake up to see leveled characters.

yea mobs cant see a path through the furniture
We really need an admin here, this is just unbelievable
Yep saw it on Themiscyra - 5-10 ppl hammering away at it while it re-spawns every 5-10s. I’d say this falls firmly into exploit territory. Not sure why for elevated mobs like this you don’t have a visibility timer on it. You kill it, get credit, then go into a 5m+ cooldown where you can’t even see it. Shouldn’t be hard to code for it.
