Wolf's Den Possible Disconnect Bug

ISP: Wide Open West

Type of Internet Connection: DSL

Internet Connection Speed: 16Mbit/s

Date & Time: January 5, 2014, approximately 3:40am EST

Frequency: Once(Did not reproduce yet)

Character Name: Pevara Genhald

Race: Hyur F

World: Goblin

Class/Level: WHM/50

Area and Coordinates: Wolf's Den Arena

Party or Solo: Party-with Sylvir Vyne and Kehl Venn

NPC Name: None

Monster Name: None

In-Game Time: Unknown

Steps: Make a 3 person party. Queue for Wolf's Den Level 50. Defeat 3 of the enemy team. Realize there is no 4th. Wait 30 minutes for draw. The text on the right hand side of the screen displayed Fangs 1/4 and Claws 4/4 or the other way around. I do not recall exactly. We searched exhaustively including using various methods of targeting nearest enemy. I also repeatedly cast Holy around the map and checked the combat log for signs of damage on an enemy player.

If this was not due to an exploit or hack of some kind then I believe it was due to the enemy player disconnecting. Either way I believe it warrants being looked at as a bug.


Here is a link to my original post, I realize I made an error in my posting format so I will do it properly this time to make it clear that I believe this is a bug.

I just did some further testing. I can confirm that voluntarily disconnecting yourself does not cause this to happen. I queued up with a friend and unplugged my ethernet cable right when I loaded into the game. My friend told me that my character remained there the entire time and they were able to kill me and end the match. Therefore I assume that this is likely an exploit used to farm pvp experience and marks.
