Infinite EXP farming due to precognition bug. Don't kill me.

I was walking in the alternate trollmire as a Paradox Mage just now, and used precognition a lot since i decided to take it on at level 5. I jumped out of the spell (i think by resting accidentally :o ). As I walked out i noticed it cloned me (simple as that). Spacetime Tuning auto-on so can't be an anomaly. I Dust-to-dusted clone for giggles, and it gave the red LOW HEALTH icon on him, but didn't affect ME at all. I kept doing that and nothing happenned and his health dropped to "unknown". after like 3 more casts i noticed it wrote "kill" every time that i hit him, and noticed my exp bar was about 1% up every time. I took some screenshots and everything, and besides, the game is still verified to this moment, so this should be fixed before it is abused. If theres anything I need to do or elaborate, please say so and forgive me if the answer is not instant.

Also, I would like to note for my reputation that right after I noticed the exp bar going up, I stopped hitting 'him' and went here, so I stress that I had no intention of abusing or cheating. Who the heck would want to get banned from the net-tracker for 3% xp?

Finally, please excuse any grammar issues, since it's nighttime and since I am the opposite of a native speaker, :oops: .

Contact me if anything is needed, though it may take a while. Thanks.

Rest easy, people aren't banned from the net-tracker.

Clone bugs are something of a known issue, though this is the first I've heard of them giving EXP. (Another source of them is saving norgan in the dwarf starter, leaving, and re-entering. Swapping places with the 'leftover' norgan, will drop a clone of yourself in the place. Another source has something to do with swapping places with summons, and seems to only happen to oozemancers most of the time. No idea why.)

Validations is purely based off whether the addons you use are uploaded to the site, and whether or not the developer/debug mode is turned on. As long as the latter is off, and addons are uploaded to the site, you stay on the tracker, your characters are uploaded to the vault, etc.
