Found this exploit by watching Nizzarr kill Griffons/Stormfeather in North Karana at Lvl 30ish when he was catching up to the Prophet in levels after days of the Prophet not playing.
1. Agro mob you want to be killed
2. Run it into guards that are NON-KOS to you
3. Let guards kill mob down to low% hp
4. CHARM the mob, run it from guards or let guards path back
5. Hide/invis yourself to break charm
6. Kill mob, collect exp + loots.

So I chuckled a little bit when I realized that Cast didn't know about this extremely obvious trick (which by the way, is probably better to use in a zone like Highkeep where the guards and the mobs are much closer, and also where the guards are a bit stronger), but that's not what this post is about. I actually don't think this is an exploit. I'm aware that the devs haven't decided whether it's an exploit or not, and so for that reason you still shouldn't use this method unless they say definitively that it's allowed, but it if it was (a) doable on Live (which it was - see
here) and (b) not bannable on Live, then it shouldn't be considered an exploit. Further, if it doesn't meaningfully affect the game or give anyone a massive advantage, I'm not sure this is worth policing even if you think it is technically an exploit.
It seems to me like Cast just discovered a somewhat clever method of leveling, is mad that someone else discovered it first, and is now calling it an "exploit" to make his guild's banning seem less legitimate.
As for the second exploit (the invis/pulling one), I knew about this for a while but thought this was how it worked on Live. It actually made Skyfire AE groups really fucking annoying on blue99 because you couldn't use selo's song of travel to do your pulling. I'm surprised it hasn't been fixed since it's been this way for a very long time.
