I'm looking for a definitive answer on this. To be clear what I'm talking about:
You have a group in say... Old Sebilis. All but 1 member of your group travel/fight down to Trak's lair, and kill Tolapumj & Sebilite Protector. The the one person that stayed at the entrance (the anchor) switches to a new pick. Then the remainder of the group down in Trak's lair logs out, then logs back in, popping them into the anchor's pick, but without sending them to the succor point. They kill Tolapumj & Protector again, then the anchor switches picks again, and they rinse and repeat through all the picks that exist.
Picking is supposed to send you to the the succor point. This is manipulating the game to circumvent this, and allow a group to pick to a rare spawn (especially difficult to reach locations) with ease. Is it an exploit? What proof needs to be provided of someone anchor-picking?
The other day my guild has a 2 groups run heading down to royals for a cleric epic piece. I'm running ahead on my non-KOS bard to scout--there's no one at Overking, none of the mobs between him and graveyard have been engaged. As my raid is just getting to the first locked door and clearing those 6 spawns, watch 5 people suddenly pop in right outside the Overking's chamber, pull and kill him, then all camp out. Especially aggrovating was the MOMENT they logged in I get a tell, "Better not train us, I'm recording."
Not that I had any intention of it, but if I trained them, I'd be banned--although they shouldn't have been there. If I cussed them out, I'd be banned--even though they just circumvented game mechanics to skip past 30+ mobs.
