^ unfortunately that doesn't work with a pulling method I described earlier. A level 1 necro can easily park a pet by mob X, run clear across the zone and (assuming target hasn't switched) engage the pet and warp the mob all the way over.
If changing the NPC's tactics is truly on the table, then summoning seems the way to go. But this seems to be a slippery slope, because once EC is "locked down" the problem will most likely migrate elsewhere.
Since P99 is clearly the frontrunner in EQEmu, I'm curious how the partnership works between P99 Devs and the eqemulator.org folks? Is it not possible to enact IP banning at the account setup stage? Yes, proxies can get around that but as proxies are identified they can be banned too.
