Silithus Mining question

Recommended Posts

I'm a level 55 warrior on Anathema and am getting ready to attempt my cancerous voyage into Silithus and recently was told by someone that people are getting banned for mining in Silithus. If this is true please can someone verify and maybe even a GM explain why. That would be great please and thank you are always in order.

Yeah, I remember that shit. Nost started banning people for "industrial farming" of Thorium nodes in Silithius.

 

I don't think Elysium staff are fucktarded enough to start banning people for mining.

It really did happen back on Nostalrius. Legitimate players got banned for "industrial farming" of ooze-covered thorium nodes in Silithus.

 

GM claimed that the ooze-covered nodes were bugged, but never explained how exactly they were bugged.

 

Those were shitty nost GMs though. We likely have nothing to worry about on Elysium.

The Silithus nodes were spawning on reliable (45?) minute timers, meaning if you got the timers down you could go from node-to-node, collecting 10-15 rich nodes all at once.

The Nostalrius 1.0 team felt this was a bug, that the timers should have been more random, and that anyone who farmed them extensively must have known this was a bug and therefore were intentional abusers. About 7-8 people were perma-banned.

It's not those peoples' fault that the nodes were badly scripted.

 

Feenix had the same thing going on with herb/mining nodes, except it was literally every single node everywhere. I farmed Mana Thistle by using DBM timer and flying around grabbing the same 6 herb nodes every 7 minutes and 30 seconds. Was it a bug or just bad scripting? Hell if I know.

 

There was no way to know if it was truly a bug or not, and it's not like it was some massive exploit that was causing people to get insane amounts of gold. Really, really horrible decision by Nost staff to just permaban people right off the bat over something so small.
