Mimic Quest Conclusion

I hit 102 last night on my cutesy sharpshooter so my Mimic'ing days are passed me.  I had completed but didn't turn in about 130million exp in quests prior to hitting 102 as well so I got that all handed in and done and sit at a little over 30% on my way to 103.... I was so tempted to just turn that huge chunk of experience in and get to 102 quickly, but I'm really glad that I didn't.  Turning it in at 101 would have just ensured that I would have to kite even more at 102 *gasp!*...

so anyway, about the Mimic quest... this repeatable is HIGHLY recommended.  At 6.9m experience per turn in, you can level up fairly quickly from 96-102 with minimal effort.  The quest requires only one quest item to be turned in also.  I don't know how it is on the other servers at the various spawn locations in Swamp of Dawn, but in Bijou things were pretty laid back.  Occasionally you would get a drop thief or a kill stealer, but for the most part it was fairly easy and drama-free.

The Mimic Fiasco.....

 Wow, there hasn't been an issue as hotly debated and flamed about like this in a while... The inherent problem is that affects that percentage of the Fiesta community that has the most to lose, those diehard players that leveled up and into the high 9x and into the 10x levels.  if this had been a low level issue, there wouldn't be much if any debate about removal of the quest or banning/suspending of any players that took advantage of the 'exploit'. 

there has even been debate all day over whether this issue even qualifies as an 'exploit' as some people see it as a feature of the party-centric style of the game.  while others argue that they were abusing the system in a style never truly intended.
