There are some errors, oversights, bugs, etc with the game that I feel add more than they take away. I’m not talking about exploits. Exploits like the one in Caudecus’ Manor where you skip half the dungeon should be fixed, absolutely.
But what about us being able to get to parts of cities we “shouldn’t” be able to get to? In a city, there are no mobs to kill, no objective to accomplish(aside from the odd event here and there), and if a player, hypothetically, found a way on top of the skybox, or below the map, or somewhere else they “shouldn’t” be, should that really be fixed? Can anyone explain how it would be damaging to the game to not fix it?
To be absolutely clear, I’m not talking about a player accidentally falling through the floor, or a merchant shooting up into the sky. I’m just talking about if a player found a series of ledges or some kind of extremely difficult method of getting to a place they, again, “shouldn’t” be, a place which does not provide any benefits aside from a few minutes of “woohoo”.
Should that sort of thing be fixed?

(Another good example is the looping animation glitch, which would almost never happen by accident, never does any harm, and only entertains players)

A friend and I are avid jumpers. We constantly seek out jumping puzzles and don’t look online for locations. I’ve found a few spots in cities where I’ve been able to jump and fall through roofs, into rocks etc. We found four such places in an hour in four completely different areas.

And every time we jump and dance around, take some screenshots and WP out. Later we talk about how awesome it was, maybe take a friend there. Hell we glitched and got under Rata Sum and left a character there so we could have parties.

This doesn’t hurt anything or anyone, its just a few people who found a minor bug and decided to have fun with it. Don’t “fix” them! If anything make the ones you find into some kind of reward, even text based chat, or something secret for people to laugh about
