I want to kill some scorpions, but there are too many to fight at once.
I climb a rock.
I use a magical ability to "pull" them onto my rock 1 by 1 and kill them with my party.
Regardless of how much experience you have at MMORPGs, there is nothing wrong with the above gameplay. No one can be banned or reprimanded for it. I don't care what your opinion is, because its just that - your opinion. You may like playing a certain way, but that doesn't mean everyone does.
Some people like strategy and tactics, not just button mashing. To "perch" in video games (MMO or otherwise) is not only common, but an absolute staple tactic. There is nothing illegal, unethical, or wrong with perching. Period. Perching is a 100% valid tactic in all video games. Perching is MEANT to give you an advantage. The entire idea of perching is "I am in a high, unreachable position and I can use ranged attacks to slaughter melee-limited opponents with no chance of repercussion whatsoever." Again, 100% legal, viable, common tactic used in all video game genres.
So:
1. There is nothing wrong with getting on the rock. That's perching.
2. There is nothing wrong with using either ranged attacks or DK Chain to pull something onto the rock. Perfectly valid play.
3. The only issue is that the boss respawns right after you kill it if its small scorpions are still alive.
The thing is, that would happen whether you use the rock, kill the boss and then die to the little scorpions, kill the boss and then disconnect from the server due to client crash, kill the boss and then run away, or any other way of killing the boss and not the adds. It has 0 to do with the rock, and 100% to do with the boss respawn code.
No player can know if this is intended or not. Well, wait a sec... we CAN know if its intended or not.... by looking.... here:

Hmm, nothing there that says this is a bug. Fantastic! I did my due diligence as a player. I found something that looked odd, not knowing if it was a bug or intended. I then checked the OFFICIAL place that I would check to see if its some exploit or bug. Nothing was there.
BAM. It is now OFFICIALLY allowed. Right up until ZoS changes it so that the boss will go on a normal respawn timer even if his adds remain alive (which I presume will be the "fix").
Except that you know they are going to fix it this must mean it's currently broken. You know it's the respawn timer that's broken, you know that's what they will fix. So by doing this you are exploiting and should be punished according to the tos.
I can count to potato.
