Jarsath Waste Ghost hack?

Wump · 01-10-2008, 02:13 PM

For the last few weeks I have been seeing low level characters (>9) warping all over Jarsath Wastes. It's possible they are in other zones too but I've only seen them in this zone.

I have two questions,

1. What possible reason could there be for these people to spend hours of there time using this hack?

2. Has anyone else seen these guys popping around or have I just purchased some bad weed?

I posted this question in this thread because I assume the only reason these guys have started shwing up is they can somehow use this exploit/hack to farm.

They are in every zone and they are harvesting shinies.

The level people will go to exploit never ceases to amaze.

It was "fixed" before, but it had a by-product of not allowing you to harvest while targeted by a mob. I bet they think about reverting this change because of how much it allows you to harvest at lower-levels with little to no fear while warp hacking.

simple solution give them harvesting levels based on adventure level - screw lvl 60s farming JW

Agree, no reason why lower lvl toons should be able to harvest shinys in the higher tiers. Do what the above poster said, problem solved.

SoE really needs to get a fuckin grip on speedhackin/warpin. Its been a problem since day 1 pretty much, and SoE just sittin back doing shit all about it. If they actualy are doing somethin about it, sure isnt workin. FIX THIS SHIT!

This is only a very temporary fix, if anything. If you see someone warp hacking, does it really matter what level they are? It's not like the farmers don't have higher level toons to do the same thing.

If my highest level toon was 73 and I didn't want to accrue debt from running around trying to get the shinies, and used my level 3 toon instead, does this mean I am a farmer and should be reported? There's nothing against the rules about doing this and I'm sure many legit people have done this in the past and present.

If you see them warp hacking, report them. But this "solution" is not a solution at all.

Oh man I saw this the other week and was wondering wtf it was about.

how would warp hacking help you harvest anyways... doesn't make sense to me

You can a) get past aggro mobs and b) get more done per hour
