ive seen a lot of reddit posts on screenshots of people exploring “outside” the zone, like behind invisible walls or up on high distant mountains or under the map or in other secret inaccessable places. now after the jumping puzzle bans from the new detection system, is doing that kind of “exploring” bannable? I would think the only thing gained from it is cool screenshots, but does it still count as a bannable exploit?

This isn’t a simple yes/no answer. Sometimes it is definitely cheating/exploiting. Sometimes there is no potential gain, so it’s not considered a breach of the UA.

Put it this way: I don’t don it because I value my account and figure I’ll stick to the path well (and safely) trodden.
