Pets, faction, and AFK leveling with near impunity.
Pets to my knowledge shouldn't have the same faction as the owner. They should be indifferent to everything and as such, not really able to be aggroed without action from said pet to deserve aggro.
I.E. a specific mage (everyone knows who if they've been to OOT in the past week) using this bug to AFK level for DAYS in Ocean of Tears with near impunity. I think this needs to be addressed, personally. | ||

It always worked that way during classic. Necros and mages could afk xp no problem...
To be honest they nerfed the afk necro pet strats with that faction sharing... I remember afk xping while feign death.. now pet is indifferent when fd.... | ||

Pet faction was classic and we implemented it as such. Whether or not it should be considered a legitimate way of leveling is a gray area. People on live did it all the time; members of the dev team did it on live.
During velious there was actually a single spawn in EW which spawned the same mob every time. If you parked your level 53 (?) Eart Pet on top of the spawn he would automatically engage and your pet could solo him and regen to full before the next fight. If you went AFK for almost a week you could hit level 60. As far as should it be allowed on this server or not, I will leave that up to Nilbog as it is his call. | ||

the pet poofing after 2 mn of fd was implemented during velious. This is classic and it is not an exploit.... Exploit = you hit a mob that can't hit you back using a flaw in the game mecanism.... Stop trying to change the game guys.... I am sure that we will have the same discussion in a few months when u will ask for a nerf of chanters charm because it is overpowered.... | |||

No, because I have a strong understanding of game mechanics and being able to plop a pet somewhere without repercussions and AFK level for days is retarded.
Enchanter charm isn't overpowered. The only time it became overpowered was with pre-nerf dire charm. THAT was overpowered. I repeat what I said about everything "classic" isn't good. A lot of fixes were implemented for a reason. | ||

P.S. I am a mage. I am taking this pretty much as unbiased as it can get. I could afk level while I sleep but I am not a talentless hack exploiting something that shouldn't be possible.
Others aren't so honest. | ||
