Forcing people to exploit boss fights

[Winzhi]

Please stop it and let people play the game with the mechanics as intended. If people say no, respect it and either run the dungeon being silent or leave.

Some of us love to get a challenge, no matter how tedious it might be for your precious rushing heart.

We have confirmed that there is an issue with the instanced battles against Dhorme Chimera and Hydra during the quest "A Relic Reborn" wherein monsters will stop moving as a result of certain player actions.

This issue is currently under investigation. If a player willfully continues to battle an immobilized monster, the player will be in violation of the user agreement. The game logs of violators will be investigated, and those who are found to be in violation may be subject to punishment, such as a character data rollback or account termination. Please do not try to take advantage of this issue.

In the event that a monster is accidentally rendered immobile, we please ask that all members of the party leave the instance before re-attempting.

I'd like to see ppl get punished for actually exploiting Titan.
I had to work my Ass off while others just exploited him.
Not cool

This game was worth the 29.99.
But I won't be subscribing. Maybe as they update I will I don't know.

Paying a subscription to be Hacked and Spammed by Gil Sellers is bad enough, but now people are cheating the game to advance and receiving no punishment for it.

All the people who cheated TITAN didn't get rolled back or anything and now we have people exploiting Chimera and Hydra.

SE will fix the glitches, and do nothing to the people who gained from abusing it.

Theres more boting,rmt spamming, hacking, exploiting going on in this game than any other game I've ever played.

1) Obviously you don't know SE to well in respect to what happens to people who have been caught cheating, hacking and exploiting.
2) It is a lot of work to roll back those who have been found to have been exploiting and with all the work being done on the duty finder atm, it is not the main focus, though I do expect more to face the fate of some I already know.
3) Obviously you have not played that many other MMO's

Isn't it rewarding knowledge that the people who exploited in some way still is grinding things several hours each day to get banned/rolled back later?

I have to admit it would be funny to see them do these rollbacks in a couple of months.

Obviously you don't know what you're talking about, I've played EQ,EQ2,EQOA,WOW,GW,DCUO.FFXI, and have high end raid characters on all of them.
It's you that seems to have not played many MMO's. Not one of the MMOS I named above have the amount RMT SPAM,HACKING and Botting going on with the exception of FFXI. If you claim other wise you're full of it.

OP, which bosses are you talking about? I'm genuinely curious, not because I doubt you. I've only seen this happen in AK, and it was only once and was some inane ridiculous, unneeded thing that I don't think many groups knew about (and something I've already reported).

Edit:
Miley, I'm pretty sure he's referring to the Salvage bans. You know, that massive ban set that completely demolished some endgame linkshells?

If it is too much work to roll them back, ban them. Time and work saved. Lesson learned for the exploiters too
