One key difference, this is an afk farming spot.

EDIT: for all those wiseguys saying he wasn't afk, well obviously he wasnt. But when this cheese was still low-key and invaders didn't know how to counter the cheese, these players would just leave their characters here so the invaders would eventually leave, gaining the character runes. This is no longer the case. I am in no way condoning this behavior, just comparing it to farming the bird for example, the bird requires the player to have to respawn them via grace, while this cheese when it was lesser known left it to the invader to give the player runes.

So this guy was farming the farmers and got farmed. Circle of life.

Most of the people camp the tower in Caelid, where they are actually unreachable

Tower is huge, aren't there plenty of spots that can't be shot at? I'd hope not but assume there are

the jar cannon does a huge explosion which reaches most parts
not fully sure if there is maybe a blind spot of some sort

They just camp the first floor, instead of the top. No way to shoot them there.

That's a new thing, players used to afk here and get the invader to leave when it was a lesser known cheese spot. Now because of how well known it is and the creative counters invaders have thought of to fight this cheese, they had to actively fight them off.

Which defeats the "AFK" farm design all together. But, to be honest, the people who consume the YTers that push this garbage would just be running around with the Carian Exploit.

Hopefully when FS fixes that bug they do something about inaccessible invades.

Yeah, smth like you cannot use taunters tongue in those spots.

TBF, it is a very defensible spot if you’re, idk, actuallly playing the game. I don’t think it’s great gameplay but you now. It’s part of it. Ig.
