Are you talking to me? Cause zone plugging isn't exploiting. First of all it's classic. Second of all, read my post.. zones are retarded. You shouldn't magically touch an invisible line which hides everything behind it and blinds and stuns you when you cross it.
Zone plugging is the only real option to make zones not completely retarded in PvP. No one wants to cross a zone line and see 5 people waiting on the other side already casting spells by the time you can control your character then be punished for zoning back and pulling plug.
I guarantee you if zone plugging is punished every fucking zoneline in the game will be camped because it gives you a HUGE advantage to starting a fight. No one can see if you're in the next zone, no one can see across the zone line, and you get to engage first for 3-5 seconds before they even know there is a fight and on top of all that now you get punished for using the one advantage a zone offers (leaving the game instantly)?
Punishing zone plugging only makes zoning extremely frustrating and nothing but a negative experience. Zone lines have to be in the game, don't leave the disadvantages while removing the advantages. This will also enable some bullshit ganking techniques. Have friends log out on one side of zone, you and friends camp other side. When someone zones over you engage and tell your friends to log in. Now you've created an inescapable trap using zone lines to give your gank squad an unfair advantage. Totally changes the dynamic of zoning and PvP.
P.S. Like I said a mechanic where zoning while not in PvP then immediately being engaged on other side that allows you to zone back immediately and plug without punishment would be fine. I'm all for punishing zone plugging where someone runs to a zone to escape PvP that started while they were playing. It does need to account for this specific situation though where you zone into a new area and are immediately attacked.
