The problem was we couldn't kill it in the time limit due to the warping. Need more than 18 to do it effectively, or to have everyone on board being able to kite.

You do not need to kite, bring it to the zone. If you get hate you zone. Come back in and whack away. No one should be getting warped.

How many people were banned for this, Red?

People were warned, that was the point.

All players circumventing intended game mechanics, especially for an event, will be punished, up to and including permanent loss of character. This was reminded to all players through an in-game system message yesterday.

Report the offending players to nasomi through a private message in naschat.

If any of the players who circumvented intended game mechanics to do the event (used jump, shield bash, BLU magic etc to kill bulls) are reading this: simply prepare for the permanent removal of your character, and stop playing now before you waste more of your time. Say goodbye to your friends!

Did that post serve it's purpose? Did people continue to do that for very long?
