That thread is 16 months old, which is prior to when they started requiring approval for bug reports (if memory serves). It is also not formatted properly so it never would have been approved in the first place. If it is a bug, then players would have been awarded GM through exploitation, and it surely would have been fixed by now.

I maintain that is a feature, not a bug, but we'll have to wait for a dev to confirm it.

I agree with DarkLord. It has been mentioned there, but not approved.

So that doesn't allow for any conclusion, unfortunately.

It is currently April 23, 2015, The bug reports section was changed to approval system on Fri Jan 24, 2014 5:43 am
It was posted on Thu Jan 30, 2014 7:21 am, and it is in the bug reports section which all post in that section need to be approved before it is posted.
I do think when the approval system was started the section was completely gone over to eliminate old ones that no longer applied.

Like I said, I doubt EW would give away free GM due to a bug.

Well it looks like they are since that was approved after the change was made to the bug report system.

And what staff told the players to use this method to circumvent the purchase of equipment to complete achievements?

If it would be fully and correctly approved, a bug report number would've been added to the title.
And still that doesn't mean that the developers agree that it's a bug, but just that the forum team considered it worthy to go into the bug database

Might been a bug they long ago. Now forgot about or don't care about. Kinda like the one with 3 screens.
Might even call it a feature :)

If I recall correctly it was Alena, but my memory often fails so take that with a grain of salt.

Well I did forget about the number that EW gives the bugs on approval by them.
Yet this one that does have a number is pretty much the same issue
http://forum.thehunter.com/viewtopic.php?f=131&t=53293 That one is from Mon Apr 07, 2014 12:01 am
So it is acknowledge as a bug (has a number), yet the staff instructs users to use the exploit which is against the game rules.
If it is no longer being considered as a bug, then it should be shown as such in the bug section as fixed AKA non issue, or the exploit should not be used, and EW staff should not promote using it.

What I think would be better is allowing you to assign guest weapons in your reserve. To do this they could have people who own a weapon maybe possibly buy a second one that could be loaned to guests in your reserve. I don't know the maximum players on a reserve but one extra weapon and scope would serve all seven guests. This way if you wanted a long bow only reserve people would not have to purchase it to hunt on your reserve.

This would also help with these weapon specific missions.
