Yet somehow I've never seen them punished for it.

In all seriousness, I don't understand how this isn't considered zone disruption.

I don't have a dog in this fight (at least, not now---if Chardok AOE continues after the zone revamp then I will), but this 24/7 AE grping has monopolized the zone. You literally have to time your movement through the zone around their pulling if you don't want to die. You literally have to play in an area that won't be pathed back over when they wipe (even a good Chardok AE setup wipes about 1 in 3 times).

The only reason, I hope, it is allowed to go on is that there isn't much reason to go to the zone right now (monk pipe, herbalist, couple of decent random drops) in the areas affected by the AE grp.

This isn't really an effort to debate the issue as much as it is to ask a question to the devs: When Chardok revamp is made will AE grping be allowed to continue?

How do you get into these groups? Just message someone in chardok who is selling proxies?

If you are going to do it....bring PP, zone in to Chardok and talk to the group there. Someone will speak up and tell you what's going on.

Random /tells might be missed or go unanswered.

I do plan on doing it a bit i just need to get some cash for more than just one or two pulls. I want to see about doing a few levels this way.

Enchanter stuns were "ironed out quick"?

I think it was a problem for a good 2 weeks and then pathing was changed so it was impossible for another week or so. 0 "normal" groups showed up to do anything in chardok, despite the lack of AoE groups.

Chardok sucks pre-revamp for normal groups.

"quick" can sometimes be a relative term in P99 land... I had it as under a week though.

What I am saying here is all hearsay. I've actually never done it, but I trust my sources.

As far as I know, if you are up front with them with your intentions about how much xp you want (levels) and how much pp you have, and if they have room for you, then you'll be in until you want to leave or your get all your levels.

3 different ways to join a chardok group as far as I've been told.

1. Proxy (pay for)

2. XP (level 55/56 - 59) PBAOE class (free but you don't get ANY shared pp, however you do roll on top end loots which is like 3 items)

3. You are a level 60 PBAOE class that rotates in and out of the group in which you share all PP/loot and rolls for loots.

I'm pretty sure one of the staff members (Derubael?) said that if you want to take a normal group to Chardok the AoE people absolutely have to share the zone and work around you (as per the PnP). And in the thread where they said that, several people actually reported the opposite of what's being said here (ie. that when they took a group there the AoE group was very respectful).

Of course, as others have said, it's kind of a lousy zone pre-revamp: there's a reason that Chardok has the AoE group. On live people also AoEed Sebilis, but that won't happen here because people actually like grouping in Sebilis. The same can't be said for Chardok.
