    It's not an exploit. lol. Exploiting is cheating and you can be banned over that, knowingly or otherwise. Because other classes can't do it is not a valid argument. On a bard you can regen the parties mana by only clicking one button, /following then AFKing if you want, that's automated. No other class can do that but it's not an exploit. Sure a bard's song(or Eos) might be OP and should be nerfed in some of the public's opinion. Calling it an exploit and saying people should be banned over it(which was in someone else's post) is a little melodramatic. There are many other ways to approach this subject... why do it in this fashion?

    SE has known about this since shortly after SCH were released into the game. It does not hold back the team from completing the content or make them suddenly jump to the end. It's a non-issue that sometimes drums up debate over video game ethics.

If you're exploiting this for a reward with zero work besides entering an instance with a specific class, isn't much different than people using bots to gain more profit for minimal effort. And I don't understand the bard analogy. Do you realistically see a bard afk following in an instance and not get booted? I don't.

    While I wouldn't like to see people banned for doing this I hope they fix it, it really is unfair to the other people stuck with you. Video game ethics or not, it's just a lame attitude and not something to be proud of.
