Dark Devices - Phase 1 Exploit

[Balaur]

*I'm unaware of any other fates like this, but if there are any they need to be fixed.

In each Primal's "shrine area" is a FATE that pops every now and again that results in a series of boxes or crates that have to be destroyed, and a spawning series of mobs whose death doesn't count for completion. They provide experience. To complete, you must destroy all boxes. However, leaving said boxes up at 2% HP and just farming the mobs is possible.

This is also true of collection quests, where the spawns that can provide turn-in items respawn at a fairly rapid rate depending on the number of attendees. As long as no one turns in until about a minute to go, hundreds of these guys can be spawned and killed for the XP.

It's possible, but for the most part nonviable as these areas are "out of the way" or not high-level enough. Farming XP from a fairly low, early 40s level up towards 50 by doing Dark Designs - the Plea and just nuking these particular mobs over and over again is a possible, and viable method, of XP grinding the slowest leveling period in the growth curve. But there is no actual "exploit," and I suggest you look up the definition of that term and how it's applied to the gaming world.

Bunch of nonsensical stuff

I think you missed the part where in a party, you gain all the exp of mobs your party members kill and a lvl 20 guy can use this exploit as well to get hundreds of thousands of exp.

Anything considered not to be working by the devs and used by players to otherwise gain an advantage is an exploit. Any Dev will tell its an exploit poor design or not. You are gaining more exp than the fate was intended to give and there for players are gaining and advantage not intended by the devs aka an exploit. I think people seem to think only bugging something for an advantage now days is an exploit.

Someone said earlier in the thread people need to understand what an exploit is. 100% agree with that guy.
