" Everyone is in agreement for this, but since its farming, is that abuse? "
You asked, some people responded. No drama really. No one told you that you can't do as you like on your server, it just seems like it could be construed as 'cheating/abuse.' Obviously [your method] is possible, so unless it's an oversight (possible) then maybe it's known and they don't care (also possible.) If they don't care, then nothing we say matters for fuckall anyway. Oh wait, nothing we say matters for fuckall regardless! Other than your original question as to whether or not what you're doing may be abuse, it sounds like your server is up and running ok so I guess this thread can die.
