Ghost lfm's

I know there was a discussion about these somewhere here before.. but meh, I'm too lazy to look for it. Could anyone tell me how to create one? Tongue I got dared to do one with a funny text (a while back), and it didn't work when I tried.

I know that to get rid of one you have to log on the toon in question who's lfm it was, and take it down. I once had an lfm up for a week, because I hadn't logged on that toon. I know the ghost lfm's disappear on server restarts, but Turbine still hasn't fixed it and I'd like to play around with it.

In other words,  you don't know!  If you did,  you'd be falling all over yourself trying to post it to prove that you really do know.   You have 24 hours to have this tested by a predetermined third party.  You're so fucked.   Grin

One thing for everyone who is a "skeptic" on this issue: Insurance companies are basing their underwriting on the assumption that it is real. They are refusing to write policies on homes that are likely to be in danger from rising seas 20 years from now, even though the resale rate of the homes is so high that they could keep writing policies for another 10 years and still not have to pay out on 1 policy in 5, but that would be irresponsible. Unethical, as well, but that's never stopped anyone before.

It is fairly natural to assume that the fair price for the pot is the fair value of the resources I needed to make the pot plus the fair value of my labor.

Not sure if is the old bug,as turdbine NEVER repeats old bugs,  but before when it was happening it was because you did lfm then logged out/quit out.

Will say be careful not to go too far because moms cousins sons brothers sisters neighbor was banned because they tracked him down when he posted racial slurs or something like that.

Have fun.

I tried that some time ago, it didn't work. Ghost lfms aren't quite as common as they used to be, but I still see them. If anyone knows how, I'd appreciate it if u told me. Tongue And yes, I'd like to perform a small experiment.

They've banned people for ghost LFMs, while the leader's name is invisible to regular players, it is not to devs. But if you're in the PC, don't worry about it, right?

I've been testing this a few weeks ago because trolling is my favorite hobbie in DDO but I haven't found a way.. and I hate logging out repeatedly. As far as I know, the old lfm>exit method was indeed patched.

Put up lfm, make it public group, invite someone, before they hit yes or no, just alt f4 game.

And how do they determine what's intentional and what's not?

Yup, the log bit is why I haven't bothered to test it much

Well, yes and no. I doubt I'd talk to Cordovan about it, but yes I would most likely try to get them to fix it. Cordovan isn't a dev.

For the sake of argument.. what do you mean by "make it public group"? I have to enter a quest for it?

Edit: Nope, this did not work. But while testing it, there was a ghost lfm for Kobold assault up.

The same company that banned everyone during Mabar? The same one who thought it would satiate the retarded forums users with extreme prejudice? They dont fucking need intentional or not as a cause.  They never do.

I don't think naming names would be a good thing for me to do, but I'd pretty much add anyone who's a know-it-all dick on the list.� Even if they are sometimes intelligent with their opinions, the way they state them in long, "i'm a lawyer at trial"-type posts makes me want to punch them in the face.� They act like whiney babies with god complexes and then freak out if someone so much as breathes criticism in their direction.

It is pretty clear who is trolling and who is not, at the start of 2014 there were around 20 broken lfms stuck there for weeks and a few of them were insults and info to channels.

was teh very first mabar. and the second, but the first had some vital flaws, one that allowed users to gain exponential amounts of ingrediants  without even trying. The second one allowed an even greater flow of mass gathering, which resulted in a few ban, but nothing close to the bans from the first though. To this day, there are still flaws in mabar to get more than your share of stuff Cheesy

They tagged my alt account that had not logged in during that period. I am not sure what script they used during that time, but it seemed totally random who got hit. IIRC it was around 1-5% of player base at the time. After that, turbine changed policy to never use a script to ban without any human interaction. If your search-fu is good enough, you can find devposts from that time.

Surprisingly, my main account on orien never got in trouble despite the fact I actively looked for bugs, exploited bugs, selectively spread exploits and pre-2010 reported bugs. Fucking turbine admitted a full year of bug reports went to the circular file. After that they broke the bug reporting tool, still broke to this day!

I know you're a troll, but I also know that ghost lfm's are currently an issue. I just don't know how to reproduce them.

P.S. I look a the pic and think "retarded man". Is that you?

This is incorrect. The in game bug reporting tool is currently functioning, even if it's not the same as it was before.
