Did anyone know that CMs can throw while swimming? Is this intended? Just want to make people aware of this in case they dont know. You can also heal poison/disease/states/bleeds and damage. May be something that the devs want to look at if it is not intended.

Intresting didnt realize that CM's could poisen while in the water. if its a bug should be fixed, if not well once the throw range greater than 64 meters is fixed you could always just leave the CM out there. If he's just siting there out in the water were neither of you can hit each other the only thing he can realy do is throw insults unless he decides to come to you or your stupid enough to go to him, let him turn into a prune out there he's gota come in eventualy.

Still waiting for a response. Here's what I posted to the devs today:
I'd really like to know if throwing Poisons/diseases from the safety of a body of water is considered an exploit or not. It is impossible to fire a weapon while swimming, yet CMs can safely toss offensive meds.
If this is an exploit, please let me know. If it's simply a 'bug', will it be rectified? If it is working as intended, that's fine too.
We just want to know, one way or the other.
Will let everyone know when I know.

Popping this back to the top to see if there is any resolution on whether or not this is doing this is an exploit. I would really like to clarify this for my server as it is a real focus right now. There is a base on Bria that is near water and this is a tactic that is used, but I think it would stop if it were considered an exploit. Thank you.

I have done this in Theed for the past 6 months whenever I need faction points or am bored. It only takes once for someone to learn the lesson and not follow a spider into their den (CM into the water).

Yeah well people on Bria dont learn and just cry exploit. Since I am not down with being labeled an exploiter I thought I would try to get some clarification.

Just wanna make sure this is addressed. Another way it is used is to keep people who flee from combat and sit in the water unreachable by ranged and melee professions, so the cms go out and grief them with poison and disease. Now they have the option of going to shore where they will surely die or sit in the water and possibly take wounds to all 9 stats.
