Ban the entirety of DA. I don't think anyone would object to harsh punishments for people joining a KNOWN shitbag-cheater guild and them getting the banhammer for it. Just make sure the officers and leadership get a harsher, if not permanent ban, for knowingly acting upon stolen information.

Retroactively take their loot from previously cheated raid mobs, too. Really fuck them in the ass and prove a point to the community, IMO.

u. This whole logging in a few minutes before CT spawns, or the instant Vox spawns, raid force buffed and ready is insane. Running into the temple when Inny was due.. not an hour earlier, within minutes. That is not fair competition.

I'm not sure what's so hard to understand about getting ready for a target that's due in a short period of time.

Just to confirm some suspicion:

We located an issue related to some players getting spawn times of raid bosses. We have resolved it.

That's all we're disclosing.

Wow.

I remember when Trans used to bitch and moan that IB had some kind of packet-sniffer that had exact spawn time capabilities or some shit...

Something like that has really existed this whole time? Or were there leaks? Either way, funny DA found a way to get spawn times and then got in trouble for it.

Guess I'll just never understand.

(Not telling you to do those things...I am suggesting those things if you haven't already done them.)

Well, if the spawn info is not sent to the client then someone inside the dev team had to be passing it along or they were hacked and it was stolen.

If DA was involved and privy to that information then it's kinda sad. I have a lot of friends in DA but I hope there are repercussions if so.

It's much more likely there was a hole in the DB and they were extracting the spawn time via "hacking it".

IMO, to preserve any semblance of fairness on this server, at LEAST one person involved in the leadership of whichever guild was guilty of this should be getting permanently banned. This is straight-up cheating. Whoever called the raids (knowing the exact spawn time) needs to be punished, permanently. Also, assuming it was DA, I think we can stop hearing the thousand posts a day about IB and how they cheat. You pull shit like this, you have no ground to stand on, no matter what IB does. And I've never heard of IB doing anything as bad.

Just quoting the server rules.

- Any type of program or script that gives you an unfair advantage (eg. MacroQuest, ShowEQ or packet modification) will result in an instant ban with no lenience. Cheating will be ruled with an iron first regardless of who you are.

You know who i feel bad for? Bronson he comes on the forums on a daiy basis and sticks up for DA and then DA goes and does this [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] All the fighting Bronson has done for DA. What a let down. I think Durison owes IB a apology for coming on the boards and calling them cheaters and the whole time it was the leaders of DA cheating [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] You for real Durison? Seriously? Come on the boards now and defend yourself tell us some sorry excuse! We all want to hear about it!

That's pretty intense, but not altogether unexpected, if it is DA. I was wondering how they were getting so lucky.

They start camping vox and naggy at the spawn point just a couple hours before the mob spawns. Lucky day! Come to Inny 10 minutes before 'cause they get cocky they haven't been found out yet, I guess.

Talking circumstantially here, without knowledge of spawn windows.

Anyway, glad the issue is taken care of. Hope punishments were handed to whoever.
