Were you the ogre or the enchanter? An enchanter sent me the /tell. How are you so sure I was exploiting? Our group of 4 noticed the pathing bug but did NOT know/figure out how to exploit. We DID consider it an annoyance and were running to the mobs to kill them until I found out that I could charm them into following me.

This was not a member of my party that said this.

Like I said, I received a /tell and heard my name in OOC. I appreciated the warning even though I was completely clueless to any exploits at the time. I am not upset at what went on. My main point of this post was to state that I don't think exploits are appropriate for this list since I DO NOT use them or care to know about them. I don't want to drag John into this, but our guild does not cheat/exploit and he would tell you that. If I had, I would no longer be a member of Platinum Sphere considering the entire group was made up of guild members including our leaders secondary.

I am sorry if I sounded rude at the time of the incident or in my original post.
