LFG

I have no idea what you are talking about. I did no such thing - why are you making things up?

The name Koeni g is now filtered. Less the space obviously.

No it isn't.

If you are talking about the nonsense word I temporarily filtered earlier after people started spamming the post about it and reporting the posts, which I receive as email, I did that so several people would leave the thread and go do something else.

Which is exactly what happened.

i have read your post, a long time before that thread came out, if you though i post that because i felt the need to defend you let me tell you it never crossed my mind. you are strong enought to fight your own fight and face a flaming.
as for art's i know he is class leader for inqui granting him a title (though he had one already before), i just concider his title suites him because of the way he behaves on those boards. i only grouped a few times with him on MM when he was still a templar and i cant judge if he is just a clown or a nice guy once you get to know him. (though auctioning the anal virginity of saerak's underage sister on mistmoore isnt something i concider very bright reguardless of the fact it was a joke)

Its not filtered now. During the "filtering" the three letter combination of N+I+G as contained in the name Koenig was being filtered out.

Get it to spawn once.. I dont think it can really be considered an exploit.. since it isn't -free- loot.. you have to kill a major mob..would I want to regularly do that? well it starts moving into that grey area...

Get CL2 to spawn over and over to farm it? Yeah I would consider that an exploit..

One question though, do all the zones that avatars spawn in have the capacity to instance? if no, then I would definitely say that doing the instance effect to get more of them is definitely unintended.. which demonstrates that someone at SOE isn't thinking as far as "if instance number is greater than 1, don't spawn me"...


I keep one thing in mind when I am trying to decide if something is an exploit of game mechanics.. and that is the risk or effort vs reward... and kickstarting another instance to nail a tough mob once.. yeah not really a problem.. it isnt an easy mob... continually kickstarting that second instance over and over? now you are moving into that exploit territory simply because you are getting what amounts to the same mob over and over and over again... increasing reward without dramatically increasing effort to get the reward..

And since I cant see how fixing this type of spawning would be all that hard (since it is a very simply programming concept).. I can't see SOE taking it all too seriously..

Maybe i'm the only one who thinks "avatar up in both the overland zone and it's copy, grats the guilds or single guild that goes out and kills it in both" I mean this is nothing new to the game that hasn't happened before with matron, terrorantula, etc

I think everyone for the most part agrees on a lot of things here

1) Killing contested mobs in multiple instances is NOT intended
2) Just because it's not intended does not mean that we're not going to do it, because if we don't do it someone else will

As for LFG's post on if it wasn't intended then the devs would fix it or make a post saying it's not intended.
--In a fantasy world you would be correct on this LFG, but I think you forget how lazy the developers and coders are on a lot of this stuff. If I had to guess I'd say about 85% or more of the staff that is working on the game has no clue what actually happens in game and therefor may not even know that this is happening. Then the people that do know that it's happening are usually too lazy to do anything about it, because it means they would have to actually apply some effort to their job. SOE doesn't even have anyone to work over the weekend so who knows how much they do during the week. With the exception of Archonix I think most of the developers really just don't care as long as we're paying our $15/mo. So while it may not be intended, the chances of us seeing a patch for the spawning of multiple avatars in separate instance or a PR post of this IS/ISN'T intended are very slim.
