The only guild that "exploited" dragons was Holocaust.
When you "exploit" you are INTENTIONALLY trying to cause the game to perform with an unintended mechanism. This is done by z-axis, or pathing or ghosting or any other number of ways deemed an "exploit".
When you encounter ANY monster/npc in Everquest there is always the chance that some random event may occur. It may be as simple as the mob pathing between nodes in such a way that it runs away from the group or into a wall.
In unrest i have seen many people pathing mobs around with dots which makes the mobs "ping pong" between pathing nodes.
Does this make it an exploit? YES only if you KNOW that doing it will cause the encounter to perform this way and give you an unfair advantage.
However discovering this "bug" does not require you to immediately disengage, report the bug and leave. You are allowed to continue to play the game. However repeatedly using the bug to your advantage is then called "exploiting".
