This is to let everyone a bit about how things are pretty much F@cked up right now with eomon waves.
As most know that eomons are dropping elm guns in waves which basically are happening randomly between 30 and 90 minutes from end of previous waves. This is mostly known to all eomon hunters.
Now what some smart entropians are doing is
1. dragging a dozen mobs outside the normal spawn area to keep them segregated from other hunters.
2. Reducing the hp of the mob to 10% and keeping them that way.
3. Once they realise while hunting that the wave is going they start shooting all the 10% hp mobs and getting all the guns together.
I am told this is not against EULA by those who are doing and as such there should be no problem in naming them . I have found Andrey and Zayka so far doing this. From my understanding of the EULA it does say that if anyone is doing anything to get an unfair advantage over others, that constitutes are violation of the EULA. I could be wrong, who knows. All i know is this is what is preventing elm guns from dropping for every other hunter not using the "exploit". ( as per my understanding and i am not saying the people named are exploiters per say)
MA as we know are in vaccation and as such nothing can be done till its to late. I write this for 2 reasons
1. To let everyone know what is happening.
2. To understand how u would solve the situation.
The main problem is the tt of 1 ped being for weapons. Now if it was 50 peds , this would not work for these people. However, the problem with 50 ped tt is that then with the shrapnels most 50+ ped loots would consist of 10 ped tt guns and 40 peds of shrapnel ( which i personally find annoying) but it seems that to prevent this behaviour that is what is needed.
Feel free to share/discuss.

-----------------------------------
1. People seem divided between whether this is an exploit or just clever tactics to hunt. In my personal opinion this is wrong as MA would not have wanted this by design but everyone has an opinion and to each there own.
2. The getting in and out of VTOL repetitively to collect eomons in a low HP state seems to be clearly an exploit. Whether MA acts on it or not is a different thing altogether but most people seem to agree that it is an exploit to do it repetetively.
Solutions
-----------
1. Make the elm guns to have higher tt value such as 50 so that farming cannot be done of the same.
2. Increase the regen on eomons and reduce the hp accordingly to keep overall statistics similar.

Hello,
I have to report what is going on this migration. There is a select group of people who are collecting 10% hp eomons using vtol and then waiting for elm waves to happen and then as soon as wave starts they kill the entire spawn thereby getting maximum number of elms in shortest possible timing.
Personally i consider it an exploit. I have posted it on forum as well
https://www.planetcalypsoforum.com/forums/showthread.php?276384-Using-Unfair-Advantage-Eomons
Kindly let me know the legality of this tactic being used to prevent normal/regular hunters of opportunities.
I will attach screenshot as proof of what is going on and you can see from the thread as well , as i have posted it there as well.
