The inhabitants of Innothule have a saying: "Ask troll questions, get troll answers."

If you're gonna do shady stuff then you need to lawyer up.

If you need a recommendation then hit me up i know the best of the best. Youre gonna want a criminal lawyer. Has over 10 years experience practicing eq law.

Daldaen you are being trolled.

Forget blockchain , the real breakthrough invention of the 21st century will be a trollcasm device (thats a cross between trolling and sarcasm for those of you without your trollcasm app)

In CoM I saw an enchanter fighting on one side of the moat in Air Elemental form, if charm broke would float across moat, recharm. Mobs wouldn't jump across moat but path around it.

Now, this is how things should work in a real fantasy world, non-exploit. It was an advantage of levitate. But in a gaming world? Have to consult the guides. I think monsters are supposed to jump over / across obstacles to make up for their lack of better AI and help create more challenges for players and encourage grouping.

I'm sorry but I still can't help but feel like people are taking advantage of emulator bugs to win. Even when i'm not apart of that scene it's sketchy as hell.

from my experience from UO and EQ EMU servers,. any time a player can bug out mobs to not do damage to them and they're in control it's a server bug.

IDC how much people want to fight me and tell me I'm wrong,. Maybe what you know is wrong!!

#1 is this allowed, #2 is this classic.
These are all that matters.

Since the OP asked the question publicly, I assume he can take opinion answers in discussion (without trolling or trying to troll, etc.).

My opinion is that what the OP described, in and of itself, is not against the rules unless a GM specifically makes a ruling (like doing X in place Y while fighting boss Z is specifically stated).

What Daldaen is saying makes sense. Is it exploiting to CC mobs by kiting them around while a raid force fights a boss? It would seem like the answer is no to me. The strat is functionally, in and of itself, identical to using pathing nodes to kite the mob (i.e. run it around without it hitting you).

If there is a game breaking way that this strat is giving an unfair advantage then GMs should specifically forbid it and devs should fix it.

Pathing in EQ on live was buggy. Pathing on p99 is buggy. Ideally, players should be reporting significant problems for devs to fix.

Feelings mean nothing. Only facts do. Fact is, these mechanics are allowed.

Like Spyder explained in great detail tons of these "bugs" are used in strategies to defeat mobs on p99. :)

A long time ago(years, 3 or 4) I was leveling in CB one day and a mage was using a patching hiccup like you described in the slaver area. GM showed up within like 30 min and nuked the guy and I never saw him again. Its just an anecdote so take it as you will, but after that if I found a similar patching node I simply avoided it.
