Directly from the EQ2 rules of conduct

12. You will not exploit any bug in EverQuest II and you will not communicate the existence of any such exploitable bug (bugs that grant the user unnatural or unintended benefits in game), either directly or through public posting, to any other user of EverQuest II. You will promptly report any such bug via the in-game "/bug" command. You may also report any such bugs/exploits by submitting a customer service help ticket through our in-game petition process.

By your own words, you define it a bug because it is an unintended benefit. Making it an exploit.

Hell, we're violating the rules of conduct just talking about it.

Okay so.. instead of going after some of the huge blaring bugs and exploits in the game.. they set their sights on what could at most be considered "convenience by thinking ahead".

So how about the mobs in Kunzar & Kylong & Fens that when charmed by a Coercer do insane amounts of damage in PvP? Still waiting on that one. Or how about the Immunity Screw up in Jarsath Wastes? You die in zone there is a very good chance you'll have perma-immunity.. how do you fix your perma-immunity? Hit a mob.. but if you die again it may start all over. still no fix to that either huh.

But stop the presses! People are harvesting mineral nodes in a cave without agro'ing mobs! They're taking my nodes!! hang them! hang them! This is breaking the game! It's an exploit! they're exploiting!!

Tell me were LoN Cloaks, Fae Glide, Hover, Parachutes intended to keep people from dying in KoS zones? Was the Shrink form intended to make a player practically untargetable when combined with certain races / illusions? Those are all exploits as well right? I mean they weren't intended to be used in the manner that they were used so clearly they're exploits, by the common reasoning then correct?

I find it sad that people will bitch and moan about something so miniscule that a new feature and function may never be used again.

And yes i find harvesting while under illusion a miniscule issue. I would much rather have them leave the item as a permanant item even after quest completion only usable by the caves and just create more beneficial illusions later on as well.

By saying the issue is miniscule what you are really saying is "Damnit I wanted to exploit the hell out of those darn caves and I love cheating!"

The "legit" players who are doing this with the drachnid illusion are extremely evasive to tells, making it clear that they know what they're doing is shady at best. What gets my goat is that the GM's aren't doing jack fucking shit about the plat pharmers who are doing it.

arieste

so uhm seriuosly... on the topic of talking about this. i have the following argument:

if this were an exploit, LFG would have removed this thread from the forum

(please don't hurt me...)

Naw i am saying your a stupid fucking idiot. If you think i needed to walk around w an illusion to harvest in a mostly grey zone w a spatering of green solo fucking mobs. I did that quest and got the fucking quest reward in the first day of expansion you salad tossing homo.

who the fuck cares if people harvest with an illusion on that makes mostly grey mobs not agro. Apparently it puts your fucking panties in a bunch you cross dressing fagot.

I hate to say it - but there is a possiblity that SOE is doing something about this. One day while a certain person in Disso was standing at the entrance of the caves reporting just about everyone there using this illusion to harvest, I was on my horse ( on my alt ) and rounded a corner to see SOE Customer Service pop right in front of me as I was harvesting a node, turned around and targeted me.

Of course I am ASSUMING that is why he was there. He / She then proceeded to run through the zone. Suddenly there were not so many peeps in the caves harvesting.
