Oh, let's be a little more exact in your re-telling please. An OOC
comment was made as follows: "I never thought I'd read about a exploit
on eqbards and see it being used in-game by a bard on that list". Three
members of your group replied they were not using any exploit, but you
were, since I am familiar with the exploit, and you WERE using it. How
do I know? I made the OOC comment, I was on another character. I never
sent you any tell, and never said you would be banned, as that is not in
my power to do so. A member of your party commented "exploits are part
of the game" to which I replied "and it is a part of the game, that when
used, is bannable without warning". This has been stated by Karana's
GM-Lead (Mennix) over server broadcast before, you may ask him how he
feels about people using the cazic temple pathing exploit to verify this
should you feel like it.
I wouldn't want you to feel you didn't have a face for your accuser,
which is me. I don't know whether you read this list before using the
exploit at the Cazic temple or not, it doesn't change the fact your
group was using the exploit, and had been doing so for quite awhile
before I commented on it. Had you truely been naive to what you were
doing, I suspect any ooc comment from your group would have been along
the lines of "where?" not "no we aren't!" as was the case with groups in
other areas of the dungeon.
To paraphrase John Kim, he said, "some people view the pathing bug
(exploit) as an annoyance, others as an opportunity. Obviously I will
never agree with you on this issue, since I view bugs and exploits
abusing them as an annoyance, while you view them as a opportunity.
