I can't remember anyone using this strategy on live, but then again i started playing during end of kunark


This strategy was used in live constantly - the only difference is that knowledge like this that gave you an edge back in '99 would be more guarded than the location of Osama Bin Laden.

Sony/Verant gave zero ducks for this. Classic example would be Conquest, one of the most successful EQ guilds (raid progression wise) was insta-banned in World of Warcraft because they pulled MC bosses at zoneline using hunter pets. While you can argue that was clever use of in-game mechanics which the game provided to them (and which they used-abused in EQ constantly and faced no concequences for it) - Blizzard actually gave a fuck about people by-passing in-game content to trivialize encounters. Hence the perma-bans of accounts.
