It's easy to make a lean-to on the go.

I approve this harsh response personally. Summoning should never be able to be abused.
It's been neat to see the evolution of a game. Salem has come so far, and still has far to go. Although frustrating, I think it's been an experience worth the effort.

this type of band-aid fixes cause more problems than they fix.

Not in this case. Summoning someone without scents is solely done to kill someone. The use of it in any way to move characters is completely unintended and a huge abuse.

Now they just need to punish alts that build lean-to's near claims that once raided, teleport to Boston and transfer all items over to a main.
(Hope that made sense)

Well...the fix doesn't solve prevent alts from being used for fast raiding (main + 2 alts + Boston accomplishes same thing that Darworth was accused of doing using this bug), but at least now it's not possible to use them as teleport points anywhere you want.

Also, I feel like this would have been more awesome as a stealth update. It would be hilarious seeing all of the abusers of the bug asking wtf happened to their char XD .

I've only heard of one russian group doing this on a large scale, cuz they are too lazy to walk for hours to raid their target.

What do you even mean? Why would you wait until they log on?
