Sad for Zolo

Greetings esteemed members of the community. I have been an avid viewer of these forums for several months now. I have always at heart been a boxer with more of a role players flare more then just gaming for challenge or added strength. I have always enjoyed my single minded comrades serving my mains every whim but I was said to see that my teacher in harsh training for almost a year was finally placed to rest.

Zolo was a powerful trainer and the only troll within the temple compounds that I know of whom would tolerate me and my ilk while bestowing upon us many hours of harsh training that went well beyond the speed and comparison of anyone else in the known realm. It was said that so many came to him that he would no longer assist as he had with me.

I hope we learn a valuable lesson here that knowledge is power and to give too freely this knowledge would lead to changes that blizzard would bring about. But since I am sure several other people will discover this since the zolo training trick was so overused to cause Blizzard to react almost within weeks of that video's posting I wish to partake another lesson that I feel will be nerfed soon but is worth itleast trying.

A similiar approach can be done within the Zul Furrak bosses. especially the Hydromancer and the Witch Doctor Zumrah. That is the actual spot I use to nearly afk grind my box squads. If you kill off all the graves and have your little squad stand around his enclave against the wall where some of the graves are you can just use a mithril spike shield and as a shaman let natures guardian keep you alive for hours at a time. I just stand there and can without even having to monitor your box squad grind a level every 2 ish hours. It was not as fast as zolo's 140k xp an hour but the fact you do not have to monitor it there if you are busy can net you a level every two hours til 52 or so. Take the tip for what its worth but as a community if we can keep a tight lid on whats left of our leveling tricks it would be a more pleasant gaming experience for me itleast.

Forgot to also add you can keep him alive by running behind what looks like a horses trough to make him evade and refilling his hit points to full. This method does not eat up durability and even the weak geared shaman can itleast just mindlessly allow your alts to level as long as you make them jump every 24 minutes to keep them from going afk and leaving the game.

L50 is ~120K xp so... 60K / hour from this ? Interesting trick, but I'd rather chew glass than spend 2 hours AFK-grinding per level.

So... Blizzard bans an exploit and you want to try a new exploit? Didn't the fact that Blizzard banned the first method give you a hint that maybe any similar methods are a no-no?

Exploits, and abusing exploits, is a bannable offense and has no place on the forums.

That being said, the [url='http://dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=10487']other Zolo thread[/url] is currently being tolerated by the other mods, so I'd suggest you pool your information there.

In any other case, evade-bugging mobs (in order to gain a nonintended advantage) or afk'ing -- need I say "automating" tasks -- are considered bannable. Feel free to prove me wrong here and I'll reopen the thread.
