Seriously man, the jig is up. They totally rushed this game out the door and don't have enough content in the game if they're banning people for making too much progress. -------------------- "Brotherhood asked for no friendship, only loyalty.

My understanding of this is while in a party, doing a levequest, and under the affect of Guardian Favor, if you aggro a mob and spam the AOE version of your heal instead of trying to defeat the mob, you can gain an absurd amount of skill points over time. The exploit is people are using this method to gain skill points instead of healing as needed to keep your party alive in order to down the mob.
Obviously this is not intended, but a side effect of having a "skill-up" based exp system. Which as I stated in my impression of the game; I thought "skill-up" based progression sounded great on paper but was a flawed (and now what seems broken) mechanic in reality for this type of game. I saw this sort of thing coming. I don't know how they are going to fix/nerf this without having to get rid of skill gains from healing/buffing. Doing so would kind of break the classes for those playing them as support legitimately. -------------------- |
