Large, old trees grow close together here. Oaks, elms and ashes abound. To
make progress harder, the ground between the trees is covered in thick

can be seen in the south, and strange, broad leafed trees grow in the east.

was just curious if this would work. also was curious if CTF warranted. More so the first, but once I killed the S&H I was more curious. Seems abusable.

It's doable, yes. It's also very easy to track and people have been caught doing that (though to a much greater degree) and punished for it. Also killing your own mobs is probably not a great thing if you're caught by Imms and S&H won't be thrilled if you kill theirs either.

Considering they're aimed to be an instant patty switch, yes that means they're "farmable". That's also a good way to be nuked into oblivion or face RP repercussions.

Also. Why is every CTF a sword and hand pat!

Marking as "EXPLAINED" since this isn't a bug: there are in-game repercussions from this sort of in-character behavior (you may get outed by the mobs, warranted, etc.). Flip other clans' CTFs at your own risk.

As a reminder, if you were to use 2 alts (or a friend) to flip these back and forth repeatedly to farm TPs, we would consider that abuse.
