Some sort of a macro maybe? Not sure, haven't found any in-game way to do it

I imagine they would base activity as input and not character movement.

Ah could be haven't tried it. Still something stupid simple would work like making a naga mouse macro to swing (left click or right click or even some combo) every min or so.

Low-rent auto-follow: target a party member, hold control, engage auto-run.

About the only use it has is laughs.

So there were supposedly some major AD exploits going around, AH and the zen/AD exchange seem to be down and everyone is selling stuff for gold instead of AD, the zone chat is absolutely overwhelmed with trading messages, I literally saw 30-40 people offering to buy cat companion for gold in 10-15 seconds Cheesy

There were some people discussing in other zones (Protector's Enclave was completely spammed with trade and unusable), apparently some people made zillions of AD somehow, and got 3 day bans, they didn't wipe their AD, that's all 3rd hand information though

The exploits everyone knew about were

  • there was a CW and a GF set with a dmg proc that scaled beyond what it should have and enabled people to hit for millions of damage in right circumstances (kinda like that savant damage bug that was on Lama if I remember right)
  • if you left some trash alive at the end of epic Pirate King, you could die to the trash after you killed the boss, and get teleported back to the last campfire, and be able to do the boss again (getting raid loot and drake seals every time you killed him ofc)


These were known for literally weeks though, so I'm guessing there was something new and much more severe than these ones

It being flat out against the rules to discuss the fact the exploits are ruining the games economy, yeah that seems pretty ridiculous. In almost none of the threads removed did I actually see anyone discussing details of the exploits themselves, only the effects they're having on the game itself. This seems pretty forceful and tyrannical to me.

To be punished for discussing the most pertinent subject in the whole game (As of right now) on the general forums anywhere except a single thread is action I've never seen a successful game company take, or anything like it. It's frankly shocking and insulting, especially coming from the forums of a game developed by one of my favorite developers. Though of course, Perfect World is the one (mis) managing this, so I can't blame Cryptic.

To think I was about to start dropping my money on this game ... =/


These people have obviously never visited any Turbine boards Cheesy

Looks like it was something to do with negative values listed in AH sales, anyway there's talk of rollbacks and server wipes Grin

someone posed a thread on the ddo forums about bidding negative amounts and getting the item AND getting the currency or some such.

It sounds pretty funny.

Looks like their looking to punish the AH exploiters.  It will definitely be interesting to see how accurate and how severe tho.  There will definitely be actual crying either way.

I think it'll be silly for them to wipe the whole server of items and I'd probably be discouraged enough if I lost my gear. Not a threat it's just that the game was fun but I only play one character and well, I'm not a fan of having my work trashed due to other's issues.


I wonder the legalities of wiping every toon if they wipe them of things they paid for real money with; i.e. I bought keys and got a horsey and then I bought a bag of holding... etc etc. I bet a lot of people will be very angry if they lose their purchased items. Doubt that would happen as much as I doubt a complete server wipe in in the works.

A bit long-winded but still informative if anyone's interested in some more details (and PW's banning policy): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSHO1vjv6UY

They should just fix the bug, roll back the server, and take the heat for a little lost time.  I know my wife likes this game, many of you do here as well, so I don't want to see it go Diablo 3 on us.

They shouldn't rollback the server. The cost of that may be a little to great in terms of player base. The game is still "beta". Many people will come to the conclusion, first real exploit = rollback. What about the eventual future ones?

AH exploit - This is what all the current fuss is about. Too bad it was discovered and reported in closed beta, only to still make it in. Through this exploit one can earn unlimited AD and simply clean out the AD vendors, as well as buy up all the Zen they wanted. I knew about it and reported it on the day that I logged in. My ticket was closed and marked as resolved. Upon reading it further, I noticed that a GM told me the ticket was lost and to resubmit it. I did and kept playing. The second ticket was closed and "lost again". So I gave up reporting it.


How many of the Turbinites that were laid off ended up working for NWO?
