I don't understand why there is a 30 second delay anyway if the character is not in combat. It's hard to see how that seriously impacts anything.

P.S. Jayn what is your ingame toon?
Shits classic.

Been wondering this myself, chances are this troll doesn't want to own up to who he is though

Lol I knew this was coming when some crybaby during Sirken's stream made Sirken promise that if someone was abusing their exemption they'd have it removed. When he then said that he had proof of someone fast-switching, I loled. I've never heard any staff say anything regarding a fast switch not being allowed, but if they did, I would respect it. In fact, I've done it right in front of staff when working on CSR issues - I always figured the 30-40 seconds of loading was good enough. I don't live alone, but my roommate doesn't play EQ; I have exemptions on some of my accounts because I occasionally goto the houses of other players, or they sometimes come here. The last year I was going to Sloan's house regularly and hanging out, and that aside I have a couple of other RL pals that play the game sometimes, especially when they come to visit.

Fast switching and insta-poofing are almost the same thing, considering the aiuis poofing in VP, id guess you knew what you were doing, but /shrug at least you manned up and dont try denying it like jayn.

I do agree though, Trakanon is really the ONLY mob this could apply to and have any effect on, even though I still believe that in most cases it will be too minimal to matter.

The only real context that seems reasonable for this is either in the case where a whole raid is downing a random boss mob, and Trak pops while that mob is engaged. If 80% of people at that raid had exemptions I guess they could log over.

Or maybe during a repop if an entire guild had a force down there after killing another mob. Though from all the recent repops I've never seen this in practice, usually a herd moving through.

Id say VS would be even worse than trak with this issue, since he can be held by a tank cleric for a long time.

I bet 90% of the time everybody has enough people in his pit to stall him for long enough that people without exemptions can log on in time just fine. Maybe even run from entrance lol.

perhaps, i haven't been playing much, last i saw poopsocking vs had been reduced down to just DA stalling, which would enable fast switching to be very useful
