This pathing bug was definitely confirmed as an exploit by the GMs about a year ago. I remember Yeeet getting suspended over it after not being aware of the GMs stance on the exploit.

I've been curious for a few months now to know which was the PH. How was it figured out?
It was likely discovered after a server reset or earthquake. He has a 1 in 6 chance of spawning and a 1 in 3 chance of having the belt. Get to searching!

He started off with what seemed a 33% chance which garnered a lot of belts. Sadly it seemed he got made rarer during our farming run which sucked :P

When there's an earthquake do regular mobs always spawn their rare counterparts? I've noticed it's not only raid mobs that spawn during quakes. A mob that I camp on a long timer also usually pops during quakes. I believe Lodi pops during all quakes. So there were quakes and they would notice one spot had a fellspine? Was it every time he would spawn to fellspine on quakes? Was it a case of every seahorse could become a fellspine but one had a much higher %? This camp and how people figured it out kind of fascinates me.

Someone come ban all these filthy whistles off the box. You aren't even supposed to post pathing glitches and exploits outside of that specific section of the forum FYI, so even this post asking if the actions are bannable, is a bannable offense.

But we got like 5 rusty crusty whistles in here lawyerquesting this cringey glitch pulling?

Come on dudes... since when are pathing exploits "classic"? On live that shit got you banned with a quickness if someone reported you a GM would come watch you glitch and use an exploit then dunk you. If that's what you meant by classic then yeah, mechanic classic as fuck keep doing it yall!

Pathing issues are all over EQ zones. I.e I discovered one in SolA the other day by accident that you "can" abuse and heal up while a mob/mobs try to path to you.

Should you be banned for using pathing exploits like this? Yes after a first time account wide warning.

Yes, you discovered a pathing glitch, which if intentionally used to gain unintended benefits is an exploit. Exploiting pathing breakdowns is a bannable offense. No uncertainty at all. Classic, current, live, past, all iterations of EQ.

Any other questions? You are expected to report and ignore such breakdowns in the game.

Integrity is what you do when no one is there to make sure you do what's right. That's the missing component confusing yall. Dirty whistles // no integrity. Enjoy you shameless glitched pixels. As if summoning mobs through walls in dungeons is what the devs had in mind for you cretons to enjoy in their digital D&D world MMORPG which letter is exploit? Is the G for glitches?

You sicken me.

Hmm. Never said I abused it...and I think people who abuse things like this should be banned, which I said.
You should channel you anger into better reading comprehension before spitting venom in people's directions.

I currently have a petition asking the GMs about a bug/exploit that could be giving people an advantage. It has 3 views from GMs in a dew days.

While I in no way support exploiting mechanics this is largely untrue. Classic, current, live, past, all iterations - to quote you. Frowned upon? Yes. Mostly addressed over time on most servers? Yes. Widespread bans? Absolutely, no.

I discovered a glitch that can be exploited for personal gain. Should I get banned for exploiting it when it is written out in no uncertain terms in the rules? Yes, but only if I get a warning to follow the rules I already knew and stop doing shit I knew was wrong until I get caught.





Fixed* Getting a warning literally means you used it til you got caught, meaning you don't give a fuck. You don't ACCIDENTALY exploit a pathing glitch for hours on end dude. You feign plausible deniability that it wasn't some fair way to play the game and expect a GM to buy your rancid bigfoot shit diaper. FLITHY WHISTLE NEXT!

And again, anyone posting glitches and exploits here is in violation of the rules and needs to post in the correct subforum for such posts, for obvious reasons. Namely the people on here hoping to find info like this to use to their advantage until they force GM intervention via server disruptions caused by their immature inability to follow even the simplest of rules and not try to cheat the game at every possible turn, ultimately cheating only themselves and those who would suffer playing with them.

It's a blatant glitch. It's a blatant exploit. Exploiting glitches in such a way is clearly against all rulesets past present and future for live and for classic. It's a through the world pull pathing glitch and yall act confused about semantics? Grow the hell up. This is why the devs wont give us Chardok 2.0 you ingrates! Because they don't even want to deal with this absurdity any more.
