Endgame Progression, Elitism and You

[Aenarion]

Fix a not intended strategy. Aka exploit the AI of the enemy. I call it exploit, you can keep calling yourself smart.

Another one who can't seem to grasp how exploits are defined, not that I'm surprised, there tends to be a lot of these in themepark MMOs.

Don't cry if you're reported ingame and (when GM service will wake up a bit doing their work) banned for cheating/exploiting the content

I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you.

At least i'm happy a couple guys i met doing the old exploit skipping are now banned.

If they got banned, they were doing something naughty on the side, it certainly wasn't the speed runs that got them banned.

I play the content as intented, not trying to find any possible way to cheat the content. Attitude, you know?

What you're trying to label "cheat", is called "emergent" game play in other MMO like Eve, where the devs create the tools and see what the players do with them, many times in totally unintended ways that the devs never even thought of, many of which even the devs think is awesome.

Often times what differentiates smart use of mechanics and exploit depends on the impact it has on the game, something you can't seem to grasp. Speed runs in ARR is no more of an "exploit" than jetcan mining in Eve, except SE unsurprisingly decided that speed runs runs counter to their plan - stretching out content as much as possible, while CCP loved the jetcan idea and the extra dynamics it brought to the game.
