I dont know man but putting up WINDOW FARMING on your lfm, as I saw last weekend in Khyber, is just plain stupid.

Not I, but I didn't window farm this weekend either. 

Haven't heard anything either.

I tried  tell all the fucksticks it's something you don't advertise in that fucked up thread last week.
Personally, I think the thread wasn't locked so a sting operation could be done based on who said what.
( But, then again, I'm a paranoid fuck so.....)

I window farmed this weekend.  Part 6 of Tangleroot on a TR and then Part 2 of Delera's.  It was just me and a guildie.  No LFM or anything.  No ban either, that I know of yet.

Just about as stupid as the people who put "need cleric with DI or Dark Monk" in Abbot LFMs.

Ok folks...lemme clear something up...

What USED TO BE an exploit and did lead to some bans a year or so ago, i.e. Window Farming, is NO LONGER considered an exploit AS LONG AS it does not explicity bypass a standard timed lock-out (such as a raid timer or an epic timer).

I got this from some GM a while back who took 3 months to answer my question.  I'll look for the real data when I'm not piking at work.

I'll do it for you.
From the guild site:

Quote:
I was lucky enough to get a reply from a GM...finally...regarding my query about window farming.

(Admin): <Player:IIDString:0x02130000003ABF7A:+Etymologist+>+Etymologist+<\Player> tells you, 'The In-Game Support Team does not currently consider the practice known as "Window Farming" to be an exploit.'

Which is good news for certain monks in the guild.

I followed up with a secondary question since I know several people personally who were banned for this practice and...

(Admin): <Player:IIDString:0x02130000003ABF7A:+Etymologist+>+Etymologist+<\Player> tells you, 'If anyone wishes to appeal a ban, they can contact us with a ticket submitted here: http://www.lotro.com/component/content/article/491-support-ticket-tse'

I love the fact that it's a LOTRO website! ROFL!

THUS THE SUM...

There is no longer any problem with guildies performing the Window Farming  in order to quickly repeat a quest as long as it is not bypassing a flagging mechanism which is a different exploit not related to the Window Farming practice.

Pass the word on ladies and gentlemen...

1.  It was an honor to create a situation wherein you could pike the Vault.
2.  Yes, the guild site forums are indeed a bit of a labyrinth.
3.  Yes, you remind me of the babe.

On a side note, you missed it the other day.  A certain nameless fairly new guildy posted that there was 1 spot open for a DPS in his Hound run.
My response:
Dude, the puppies are the DPS in there.   A Bard, a Cleric, and 10 Hordos could get a completion.  Take anyone that wants to come.

I just heard today that the Dog summons that Rangers get can also hurt the Hound directly.  I guess there's one quest where Rangers are top DPS.  Smiley

That would be pretty awesome. I will have to try that. Four or five of those would make an elite run quick.

With a Warchanter and Inspire Recklessness, you can get her on Hard before the baby beholders spawn now.  I was a bit surprised the first time I saw it.

A PM from whom?
If I can dig through and find them I have a convo with three different GMs at different times regarding the DI question as I was asked to officially find out for Loreseekers if that was cool or not when we were doing our Abbot practice/training and got responses from +Sparker+ and a couple of others whom I forget at the moment telling me directly that the DI was NOT considered an exploit.  It was as a result of those conversations that I ok'd the practice for Loreseekers Guild runs.  We have VERY strict rules regarding exploits or possible exploits and you can rest assured that if we do it with me in the party, I've personally gotten the word from a Dev that it is ok to do, or it is being done without my knowledge.

Hey,
Thanks for bugging the issue. It is a known issue and I am unsure of the time line for the fix at the moment. I have had discussions with Eladrin and other devs about setting up quest "death volumes" to bypass what ever we give players as a death preventative measure. This issue has appeared before in a similar manner with death pact. As far as if it is an exploit I believe we are airing on the side of yes it is because it is not intended behavior and bypasses a raid mechanic.

As far as what you feel might be an exploit let me know if you feel it is questionable. I am usually prompt and quick with my responses if you are concerned with being banned. I do a daily round of conversations with the various developer leads and tolero/tarrant on bugs and PM's I receive and should have a definitive answer for you quickly.

DDO QA

Wouldn't be the first time there was a disconnect between the GMs and the devs.

Very interesting.  I'll have to check with my source to see if he has a PM to quote as well.
