Subject: What would you do in this situation?


Just to see where I fit on the cheater scale relative to the rest of this
list, here's a situation from a week or two ago, which involved a bug
exploit.

We were in Splitpaw when someone released the insta-kill necro (I forget
his name). My entire party died. When we returned to get our corpses,
there was no sign of the necro. Whew. Still, we decided that we had
had enough, and we started heading out. On the way out, we ran across
the necro again! This time, he was stuck in a gate. Now, as far as I
know, the path we were taking was the only way out from the depths where
we had retrieved our corpses. If the mob had been working properly, we
surely would have perished again. As it was, we were able to get out
of his range (and out of the dungeon) before any of us succumbed to his
DoT spells, and being stuck, he could not give chase.

So, I admit it. We cheated. We exploited the fact that this guy was stuck
in a gate to escpe with our skins intact. Perhaps we should have stood
there and waited for him to kill us with DoT spells to avoid taking
advantage of the bug. But as usual with issues like this, my question is,
"Where's the fun in that?"
