Quote:From my understanding when a bunch of people were getting banned for this "guild leveling" exploit they were creating characters running tons of easy lowbie quests getting the renown, deleting characters, remaking them.. rinse and repeat.
They not only banned the people who were doing it, but also anyone who was associated with the guild for "participating" in this exploit. Although there wasn't any real participation. Guilty by association is all it was.

Thanks for doing a search and providing a link. I was at work and could'nt get to official forums.
I read through it and window farming seems to fall into a grey area. The only points I think touch on it are these:
Quote:Using any method to repeatedly loot a chest without repeating the quest objectives/content/monster encounters associated with the chest.
Using any method to loot a chest or accept quest reward with any character who did not complete the related quest objective from start to finish.
Bypassing a quest timer or flagging mechanic which allows you to complete a quest or objective more often than allowed.
The only thing that would seem to put it into the red area are if you are using it grind xp/loot from a quest in a chain( last quest in thernal, delera's 2&4). Using it to grind xp/loot from anyother standalone quest seems OK because you are not bypassing a timer or "Using any method to repeatedly loot a chest without repeating the quest objectives/content/monster encounters associated with the chest. " because you still have to go through all the objectives/mob/content in that case.
But like Eladiun pointed out it seems like one of those things that turbine looks the other way on. Possibly because its too much work to fix at the moment with all the new stuff they want to put out.
If I missed something(which I prolly did) please feel free to point it out.
