I thought of that as well. However, you could deposit all of your belongings in the bank or drop them in your house and do the same thing, couldn't you?


Discussing this with an Everquest alumn, he pointed out that this wouldn't happen in that game since you lost XP each time you died.





True, this type of exploit wouldn't occur in EverQuest because of the additional penalties (like loss of XP).


Sure, they could bank all their items and avoid the particular penalty I used in myexample. Quite honestly, i don't know what other death penalties are on the development table, but I hope one of them will address this "suicide exploit".

I dont consider it an exploit. Plus theres better ways to get med xp faster. Its just lame imo. But if you really want to do repetitive tasks to power level than thats their choice.


Ive taking advantage of the auto-insurance myself many times to get to what i was doing faster. Personally i think they should leave auto-insurance on till theres transportation in this game anyway. Go out to the Tuskan fort and tell yourself your not going commit suicide to get home.

IMO is the same as sitting in a cloning facility with a medical droid healing people as they respawn : )

Exploit? mmmm undecided, but really what could the devs do to prevent this and the dancing bit. All I can say is this. This weekendI was on Lok as well. I joined many different groups I learned so much real experience. How to work with groups, what meds worked best exct. Made friends and had alot of fun. I know I could have got moreXP by sitting in the cantina. ButI actually learnt stuff by being out in the gaming world playing the gamethe way it was ment to be played.
