Y'all are missing the fact that the people starting these threads aren't grizzled forum questers, they're newbies to the server who think "hey this looks just like the EQ I remember from 1999" ... until they get to Blackburrow, and then they think "WTF is this? Live players never did this".
Telling them that they're only teaching people to abuse the quest doesn't help. The next person who starts a thread like this isn't going to have read this thread or your "protip".
As I keep saying, the only way to solve this is to fix the code. As long as higher levels kill all the low level mobs in a low level zone, lower level players are going to complain (with threads here). And as long as an experience exploit exists (IMHO a level 20 getting levels off a level 10 quest is an exploit), people are going to take advantage. You can't guilt them in to not taking advantage of it, because this is an exp (and gear) getting game; blaming someone for getting exp quickly is blaming them for playing EQ well.
