I am talking about short hops. Ie; about to get hit? Warp 50 units away. Repeat till dead. Hardly detectable if you don't send position updates all the time.You don't honestly think the stuff they could "warp to kill quick" aren't going to die as soon as people level enough to land shit on them anyhow for the first 3 expansions?
And I doubt your editing map files theory would work - there's no reason for the pathing to go through the client - seems like that would only be helpful for your own movement.
As for the map files theory - NPC pathing is serversided and therefore if an NPC was chasing you, it would infinitely path in some spots unless they finally fixed that on live.
