Question about AC
Nope. Devs don’t care about dungeon or fractal exploits.
This sounds ridiculous. Everyone has done 3 paths in one sitting.

They won’t ban people for this unless you try to sell the paths to other people.
Now, this is kind of hearsay but I was told there was a reddit post about someone being banned for doing this and a GM saying it was a bannable exploit. Not sure if it’s true, didn’t ask for a link (I really don’t give a kitten about AC) but it’s what I was told so take it for what it is.
Multiple paths in one is an exploit so you run the risk of the ban hammer. The likelihood of getting caught? Very unlikely, though run it at your own caution.

He’s not talking about doing them in one sitting, he’s talking about doing them at the same time e.g. you fight Collossus Rumbus and Howling King at the same time and do the p2 traps whilst doing the p1 scepter collection
Thanks for all the in put.

Considering I’ve probably streamed myself doing it over 30 times maybe on different occasions, I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that they’re probably doing something different that they aren’t letting you know about to get a ban.
Also what a lot of people don’t seem to understand is that when you’re banned on this game… unless it’s a manual ban from a GM, it’s probably for something you did weeks ago (or months, who knows how backed up they get).
If a GM has the time to kill to log in and spy on people in instances to ban them, they’re not gonna sit around waiting outside of AC and look at some guy thinking “Ooh I bet this guy’s gonna exploit. Gonna sneak up on him and teach him a lesson.”
They join from LFG posts more than likely, because you have to keep in mind how if you were in their position and had limited time to spend doing this, where else would you look?
So what’s most likely is that whoever you’re talking about that got banned from a GM was, they were probably trying to sell the exploited instance. That’s where they care— if you do what I did and just do it for yourself or casually with friends/guildmates rather than selling the paths, they aren’t gonna freak out if you do an AC 3-in-1 nor will they care if you jump around the map like a goat or whatever it is that you feel like doing because it affects absolutely nobody.
Yeah, I mean, to me hearing that was just another excuse not to do AC for me (I hate it ) but I’ll ask my friend if they happen to have a link to where it was discussed because now I am curious. It may just be all rumor, may be something like you describe where it was for something else and people played telephone and screwed the story up. Really have no clue, just felt it was worth mentioning that the rumor is out there.
I have been kicked from party’s doing all 3 paths at 1 time because i didn’t want to do it in case i could get banned. So is running all 3 dungeons path at the same time on one run ban or not?
Parties usually lfg as doing the run merged, haven’t come across a party that would advertise p1 for example and then insist on merging the paths. So I think it’s fairly easy to avoid these parties.
Btw, merging AC paths seems way more common in NA then EU.
