This is long known exploit in Ghallanda and in Cannith... bug harpy kill giant bug quest.. relog/reenter wit penalty or not and enjoy capping in 1 hour. Whole guilds have been doing this, just like the spider farming warlock bots in TOEE. See the guild called Bad Girls in Cannith, perma afk in TOEE with at least 1 warlock. But SSG needs 1 year + to find out ...
.


They never learn. Back when dimension door came out, it was use a DD after quest keep getting xp, then CC, use a DD keep getting reward.

The one thing I have learned is when you do use exploits like that, you are bound to get caught especially when you go overboard with it. I'll just stick to my re-using boxes and get my funky few million xp each time. Not like playing the game and capping is hard anymore.

Huh. How about that.
  

Do not try the patience of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger.

We are dreamers, shapers, singers, and makers. We study the mysteries of laser and circuit, crystal and scanner, holographic demons and invocation of equations. These are the tools we employ, and we know many things.

Anyone that feels the need to exploit for XP instead of just playing the game should have a mental health screening.


Manually farming for XP the now-nerfed opts at quest entrances, or this, et cetera?  Absolutely.  Boring.  Dumb.  No fun.  Mental-health-screening-qualification.

But macro-farming it when you're not playing anyway, because you're at work or something?  Brilliant.

They do sell things called Otto's Irresistible Box's (Both Heroic and Epic) that allow players to level in that time. It would be kind of tough filtering out the legit levelers vs exploiter levelers. I know people that purchased 10-20 boxes and went thru lives very quickly.

How the fuck can you run an MMO and not have instrumentation/automated reporting to identify when someone level/plat/ED caps in 30 minutes or uses scripting?  [Rhetorical.] 

GGG/Path of Exile is an example of how to do it right.

Looks like most of the idiots who were exploiting this got either banned or rolled back.

Neat.

^This

Of course, if they had instrumentation, they'd learn about a ton of problems, and then they'd have work to do instead of larping. So I guess that will never happen.
  

Turdbin, keep changing the DDO rules, because McDonalds sold over 200 billion hamburgers by changing the recipe for their Special Sauce every couple of months to keep interest up.

I love how there's a host of people in there with 2007 join dates, and a handful of posts, all within the last 3 months... And almost all of them are almost always listed as online.

And while they don't out-and-out defend, they seem to throw up a lot of noise (See Aselrik's comment of "Exploits can also cause server side issues. I'm guessing that a lot of the server lag that happens in DDO is from somebody exploiting, which creates logic loops that bog down servers.")

That explains a lot. When I log on now and then I see people running around with stacks of past lifes and always think to myself: The only way that they farmed those lifes without dieing from bordrom must be some nice feature. Noway were all those people grinding DDO for that many hours/days/weeks... And now it is official: They weren't  Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

I don't know, how long ago was Nov 27?  Because there's this thing called math...

Is "Lines of Supply" being closed for 4 weeks a big deal?  It could be closed another 4 months and I probably wouldn't notice.

Is it that time of the month for you princess?

XP isn't the only reason to run sagas or quest chains.
