Mob tagging?

[Garneet]

The way i did it was with warr tank 2 mages and a pala healer and the one i boosted. Yes i multiboxed on ED so it was easy for me i guess. All i did was to run with warr(only warr) and spam demo to keep aggro as i pulled all of the planed mobs. Then when i came to the others i ran a macro /uninvite "name" /in 45 /invite "name" and tagged with the low level when it was out of party

Yep. Dynamite is the best way to get tag on the mobs for your lowbie.

Pro tip: if you pull mobs into a corner they won't run away at low HP because their pathing gets fucked up.

In SM + BRD you may need to use Crystal Charge to kill all the mobs before going OOM on your mage depending on gear, or just use 2 mages like you said.

Three decked L60 mages with a healer and a fifth lowbie mage, masspull everything and then drop grp quickly on the lowbie mage to tag mobs, then rejoin grp and begin the aoe with all characters.

We did this and had 14hrs played 1-60.

Whoa, shit.

...how much would it cost to get something like that for myself?

I opened a ticket about this (instance tagging) to ask if it was allowed or not on this server and was told that tagging non-instanced mobs is fine, running lower levels through instances is fine, but instance tagging in the manner you guys described is not allowed. HOWEVER, they said they'll discuss internally and post to this thread with the updated stance.

Any official response from the GM team on whether or not this is allowed?

Bump. Any answer from the GM team?

[Oyani]

Holy shit...seriously?! :O

I wonder if they'd allow this in instances.

4 lvl 60s should be able to nuke down any mob up to (and including) BRD with in the 59 seconds 'boot to hearth location' timer that pops up after you leave an instance group.

It's called boosting and it's been a thing since last century

It's been allowed on retail up until it was highlighted by Athene getting world first 85.
People have been doing it on Nostalrius since first weeks of release.

Yea i assumed it was allowed and it should be, its not a big deal in the first place and people have already used it, really a petty thing to say isnt allowed imo

[Coridan]

I agree, I think it should be allowed, but I don't want ignorance to be an excuse for breaking the rules. I'd love to do this, but I don't particularly want to be banned for doing so. I've done similar on a number of different private servers and retail, but each server seems to have a different stance on it. I just wish we'd get a clear answer on it is all.

As long as it is two different players playing, and not "your friend" on another account that happens to have the same IP as you, there is no problem.

You always say the "same IP" , when i've played tons of times with friends in my house with laptops, or even with my brother or my uncle.

So i don't think two accounts having the same IP is a reason to ban
