This is retarded

Yeah. But, hey, in all honesty... you don't think it's an exploit that isn't remotely in the spirit of the game? I think the real heart of the matter is that the GM's would love to shut it down, but know that a certain set of players would probably stop playing if suddenly they had to earn xp. Why they care so much about this set is beyond me. RMT?

I have never participated in Chardok AoE, so I have no skin in the game.

If the GMs wanted to shut it down, it would be shut down.

Chardok AoE exists on the server because it is possible with the current mechanics of the game. It does not break any rules as long as it is not interrupting a person/group trying to level/camp some of the mobs there.

The GMs/developers don't care about whether Sony would or would not have eliminated this from the game with patches because they didn't like how much experience players were getting. The GMs care about creating a classic environment, this includes the good and the bad mechanics that were in the game prior to them being patched out. If someone can prove this wasn't possible in classic, they should post in the bugs section with concrete evidence. Because something was not done on live in the classic time period is not evidence that it could not be done.

Debating the merits of whether something is in the spirit of the game or not holds no value, as the only thing that matters is whether or not something was or was not possible in terms of classic live mechanics. I've seen a lot of evidence posted in this thread, but this evidence does nothing if it is not posted in the bugs section to explain to the developers why something should or should not be possible.

Every player plays this game for different reasons, so as long as long as they are playing within the mechanics of the game and not disrupting another player's experience, there is no fowl play that is punishable. If a player was trying to group in Chardok and the AoE group kept interrupting them without some compromise, this would be grounds for a GM to intervene upon petition, but as I'm currently aware, this has not been a situation for anyone.

The original poster can attack Chardok AoE in two ways if he does not like it. He can either post bugs in the bugs section of the forum with his evidence, or he can try to group there and petition to GMs if the AoE group is not respecting his desire to group at a certain camp or compromise with him. If neither of these things have happened, this whole thread just seems like wasted space.
