...TopShelf told Nas to roll back all your ZNM gear, do the gilpocalypse and nerf Fishing/RNG into the ground.

I'm not going to call the guy that created it a liar. He said it was working as intended, so it's fair to assume that he intended it to used Player ID. I realize he later decided that isn't what he intended, but it's not like the code wrote itself. If he had said, no that's not what I want it to do.... and told us to stop using it, I'd probably have stopped paying Nataleh to claim KA. Instead, he said that it wasn't doing that and it was working fine. He'd know better than me?

I'm glad he changed it. I was one of the people that was basically never going to ever claim anything ever, because of my player ID.

In a large code base, you can forget that a function iterated through something in a certain order.

Thats why there is search functionality in every IDE and repository. The lack of impact analysis done before tweeking something astounds me sometimes.

It only apply to some NMs, all of which do aggro.

If you are too high level to be aggro'd, you can still /heal and put yourself into a state that allows them to aggro you regardless of level.

Claiming HNMs (and Spook) as these are the only NMs with this autoclaim system is down to luck, yes.
