Not.

How come? Typically, if you try to run there, you should zone. . .afterall, it is a zone out. . .

Can you explain?

[fiegi]

Hug right wall

will never zone

[Silikten]

Still won't do it. I consider it an exploit. Just curious why it is not considered one.

[fiegi]

ya i dunno

i defintely won't be doing it on monday

prolly eat a lifetime ban if I was seen over there.

It leads to a game mechanic that leads to a pvp advantage, on a pvp server. Also, the intended design for it is not what its being used for.

I guess it is just pick and choose when it comes to what is an exploit and what isn't. Going to have to work around it I 'spose.

Don't think you can cast on someone on the other side of the portal......... So that can be used as a PVP advantage on someone who doesn't know the trick.

If you feel that it gives someone else an advantage over you in PvP, it's probably due to other advantages over you, such as breathing with their mouths closed, or a fully developed cerebellum. It's a novelty at best.

/win, uthgaard rules

It doesn't require any special effort to run around it. Nor does being on the other side of it provide any aid.

Well, at least we can always count on the fact we are more of an adult than you due to the 5 year old mentality of your "go straight to insults" rather than have a mature conversation.

Feel free to log in game on a similar geared character and see if you can even come close to killing me or Fiegi, because I highly doubt that will be the case.

Anyways, now that were done being childish, as you so wish to do. The fact is that it does require special knowledge to get to where they are. It does aid them in a player verse player situation, on a player verse player server. I could care less how they kill mobs. Also, it, once again, isn't the intended use for it.

There is a big difference between stuff like Levitating for an advantage, finding a vantage point as a caster, and knowing how to joust properly. Running through a zoneline is a bug, using a known bug is an exploit (See Killing Bugged Dragons 101).

But, you failed to overall list a good reason as to why it should not be an exploit, only that it is an exploit allowed here. That works for me.

Thanks
