I was talking to a friend about how completely possible and likely it is for someone to script something to kill Hellions. We also thought it was strange how a few people hunted. Not their kill rates but the actual hunting. Seeing it getting killed on empty square isn't all so normal. If we could get the hellion spawn rates randomized but still keep 4 in an hour that would eliminate the edge scripters would be using.
Randomize Hellion spawn, please.

Doesn't HCS consider that to be "illegal"? However, I believe someone may be doing it. Another player and I were on the spot with hellion earlier today. I clicked the attack button but, when the screen refreshed, I was told that he had already been killed. The same person and I were still on the screen but he didn't get it either. It seems pretty fishy to me.

The Hellion is not there for the higher levels to farm to get fsp's from Epic component. The Hellion is there for low level players to do a quest. I think it was not thought out well what happened to this quest but I doubt that will change. Randomizing the spawn will make this matter no better for these people. The lower level players don't necessarily have 4k stam to wander constantly looking for the Hellion.
I vote no unless that quest is changed. That is a monster quest by standards of that level and was made way more difficult with the Epic components. Further complicating it would be unfair. Unless you want all Elite spawns randomized (I don't).

why not just have everything randomized completely in the whole game ... nah I am not sure this would make things better... just make it less likely lower players will get it, the random thing hasn't worked for s elites very well.

They are already walking around aimlessly at the wrong times anyway. Same with many high level players. You'd be surprised how many people have no idea when things spawn.

The problem is changing one elite spawn for the prevention of something that is not allowed anyway, if that was randomized, it would seem all elites would have to be randomized...
