Way to ruin our fun with your so called "logic"! Seriously it's not any fun if someone doesn't hang in the end. This mob demands blood to be shed!

I started the thread on the forums (which is long gone without so much as a PM from the MODs) ... Thanks Maelya for getting screens .. I took some myself.

These characters were leveled up in shard of fear in 1-3 days without any kills/quests (yah like a lvl 3 character can do anything in that zone)

It could be these are SoE employee's that for some reason are not using the standard GM account flag. As Maeyla pointed out one of them is also in a "real guild" so who knows.

Just playing devil's advocate, so here are the things that stand out to me, many of which were already pointed out in the thread:

The guild includes, but is not limited to, seven level 80s yet has 0 attributed status and other, minimal achievements that one would expect to be higher in such a guild, even a young one as the case would be.
Their latest discovery, the second of two total server discoveries, is attributed to a blank name, and is a defiler apprentice 2 that, as far as I know, is only purchasable as a defiler and they have no shaman.
The three level 80s with viewable profiles were all created on different days, have a level history that indicates a journey through the Feerrott to the shard of fear, and only the earliest levelled on the newbie isle, indicating the SoF as a purposeful destination.
Chrisangel and Towershield levelled 2 days apart. However, Towershield spent 3 days in the Feerrott before levelling in the Shard of Fear
Chrisangel and Ironrock are naked, with a small number of AAs(31 and 32, respectively, with none of them spent for either player) but Towershield has 149.
Their guard, Towershield, has 0 no-trade items.
All three level 80s show 0 skills and 0 factions, however one would expect the guardian to have at least skills.
Every single member of the guild is an unskilled artisan.
They have high character ID numbers which, as far as I can tell, are progressively semi-consecutive suggesting they're all recently made, as their profiles would evidence, or transferred.
Their bruiser is probably going to have his name changed(Spleefz? lol), as well as their Illusionist.

After considering all of that, and not being a coder, it seems that the scope of the inconsistencies would suggest the problem is not one that can be attributed to EQ2players. That really only leaves two possibilities: exploiters or 'special consideration'.

If they're exploiters they have two rather dimwitted fellows in their ranks. The things that would lead me to believe this guild is Exploitville, rather than a 'special consideration' guild, are the different creation dates, the travel, and the nakedness and broker-bought armor.

Edited to clarify my list.

And the whole SoF thing. If a dev wanted to level people to 80, why on earth would he take them to SoF to do it? Also considering how quickly it was removed off the SoE boards, probably just some weetards haxing. Naturally SoE is quick to remove such information.

Kyrsten · 12-27-2007, 02:55 AM

yeah, just another conspiracy theory!

If i had to guess (if this levelling history is somewhat legitimate), I suspect the repeatable-tagged quests in there are responsible - especially considering that you don't need to kill anything for them.

Hmm. I thought you did have to kill some things for them. But even if you didn't, XP is capped from quests (at least it was...) AND you're not supposed to be able to zone into SoF unless you're 57+ correct? I've never tried, but that's what people are saying.
