It doesn't really matter if red99 has zone plugging or not. However anyone who is trying to get it removed by calling it an exploit is deluding them selves. Having a personal dislike for something and calling it an exploit does not a valid argument make. Unless an actual EQ live developer is trolling these forums and can state one way or the other. Sure it may not have been initially intended but from what I have read they haven't done a single thing to that prevents a player from plugging. Nor have they commented saying they thought it was an exploit.
Now I played on Tallon Zek during my live days and even though there was some plugging I still had more fun with Everquest PvP than I have in any MMo since. PvP battles in EQ live were great, from the massive guild fights over bosses to the smaller group fights over camps. There was a real objective to these battles. Not just points or rankings, but fighting to get the better leveling spot or to get the better gear. These things would increase your chances of winning in your next encounter.
It can be a little disappointing when your chasing someone and they plug, so just find someone else to kill if your just out to PvP. If you were fighting over content just revel in the fact that you won because now that content is yours if you attacked them or you get to keep your content if they were the aggressors.
