Now that has me thinking maybe this ability is a bug that SOE missed. Is there anywhere I can go to check on this? I don`t want an unfair advantage, but I also don`t want to eliminate an ability if it is not a bug.

Any help would be appreciated.

I'd say the way to deal with an exploit is to tell everyone about it, thus forcing he devs to take notice. If a small few know about it, nothing will get done.
The Neo bug in battlefield 1942 that allowed players like me to propel ourselves at high speed into the air and fly unaided is a good example. The devs appeared to ignore it until a squad released a video detailing how to do it. Once everyone started flying the bug got squashed. Certain maps like omah were getting ruined since the allies could just take off into the air, fly over the enemy, then parachte behind their lines. I have to admit, when there were only a handful of folk doing it, it was waaay fun. Flying from one carrier to the next on Coral Sea is a whole new game in itself

However, if this is the course of action you take, make sure you make a new disposable alias account with which to post, since you'll be flammed to hell and back.
