At this point, you MUST leave it in game. Too many people have abused the shit out of it. it would be ridiculous to take it out and let just a few of the chosen abuse it.
This principle doesn't work in real life, or video game life.

Look it needs to go dude. I have friends grouping with mages right now. Right now it allows lvl 24 pets to do as much damage as or more than a 50 warrior. Pets are already able to reliably hit things that would be 4+ levels to them. The proc is completely unresistable.

It is broken in pve AND pvp. So what some people used it to level? I've played MMOs long enough to know there's people who exploit to get ahead and usually they stay ahead. This doesn't mean the bug needs to remain and shit things up more.

I'd think and hope this is a scenario where the devs say "I know why you all want to keep this" but it has to go :P. Bugs like these aren't "content" and certainly weren't ever announced as intended.

At this point it's damage control. Pop is suffering the biblically long grind while a few sploited to 50 and proclaimed victory.

Steroids are illegal and any champion who is caught is punished and he should lose his belt.

Remove exploit.

Rollback the known exploiters and take away all their illegally farmed gear.

Happy grinding!

Seems to be a strange pattern emerging in who is defending the exploit in this thread.

Is pet taunt ever going to be fixed? There's no reason pet taunt should be so pathetic.

LOT of crying about classic EQ in here re: classic xp.

I can see why most didn't have lvl 50s in 99 (yet continued to post during beta for how shit should work?).

A permanent solution that I would be in favor of is removing this, wiping the server, and implementing a permanent 15-35% xp boost.

All the things that were supposed to be 'tested' and removed were actually 'tested' and exploited on the launch. All the 'elites' will come back to regain their elite status, don't worry... and other people who have left the server because of the exploiters will come back too.

Treat as Beta 2.0

Nah, server is fine. Stop whining. If you couldn't keep up the first time, you won't keep up the 3rd or 4th or 5th.
