that thread... what a sad bunch of bitches. cheering on "crush the cheaters" while holding each other's cocks in their cheek pouches. saga reuse cant possibly even be any fun. just some bullshit to skip as many trs as you can? ssg liked having it around. and tbh, ssg needs the shard sink from the guild levels after that as dupe we just had.

Nobody good got banned, so didn't really have a huge effect overall.

Shitters will come back or go away.

a few good players from many servers got banned.

The real forum drama will be when the short term bans get to log in and see what happened to their characters.

Exploits are funnier than play the game.

Thx SSG/Turdbin tards for this.
  

Dear players,

The D&D rules you were familiar with were too simple to understand, so we're continuing our move away from them to needlessly confusing subsystems that will make your play experience less fun and invalidate old builds and loot. We hope you have fun working out what the fuck MRR, PRR, MP, SP, RP, CL, MCL and all the other bullshit we made up whilst drunk means.

Love,

People who don't know how to fix their own mistakes cleanly

I used the xp to level up an alt because I couldn’t be fucked to grind that shit. They’re welcome to delete the character. Means I’ll go back to having zero playable alts, just like before. Seems to be their design goal anyway.  Cheesy

Also, Chai is in top form in that thread. What a moron.

So much anger because you could not be bothered to play the game it was intended. So much entitlement.

You guys are not letting me down. Keep it up!!

Thank you for this clarification and lesson on the Prussian herald.

That's what the devs have wrong. They've designed a system that people don't want to play, so they have to grind their way around it, so they can play how they want to.

That produces exploiting.

If the game was fun, if grinding was enjoyable and rewarding, no one would exploit. It's not, so people look for ways around it.

If they actually take a look at the stuff I have leftover from the last time they tried to clean out my account, they’ll probably nuke it from orbit. That’d be pretty funny, honestly.

Grinding is for suckers. I enjoyed all the time I spent playing and exploiting. If it’s over, it’s over. If not, I’ll keep going.

I think I'm tired of paying attention to you now. You haven't made a useful comment in days and are just following me around flaming now. Fortunately, I still have the KNN ignore-script loaded, on to the list you go!

Bye!

That's probably a good idea for you. 

If you can't run with the big dawgs, you should stay on the porch with the little ones.

lol!

Personally I wouldn't mind if another exploit or two got going, but aside from duping or moving BTC items I can't honestly care. Grinding for XP is plenty of fun. Grinding for gear sux balls.

I would still exploit just for fun but you nailed it.

There are people who got multiple past lives using the saga exploit, which means that getting a 7 day ban is potentially still worth it for them since (depending on how quickly they'd have gained those lives without the exploit) they saved a decent amount of time.

Hiding wrote on Feb 28th, 2018 at 10:20pm:
If you got several TRs or even just one, it's worth it. Not only can you skip all those repeats, you get a break from DDO.

Haven't played in years, because I cannot stand to do one more TR and that's all the game is about, but stopped by and just love this thread. I wish I'd known about the exploit, I'd have fixed a character and enjoyed the ban.

I have pretty low expectations of people in general, but damn, this sort of stupid still surprises me.

Do people really expect that SSG will actually not roll the toons back to pre-exploit status with extreme prejudice or even roll them back and delete half their shit just to teach them a lesson?  This stuff was widespread.  It was a big enough deal that they actually violated their own "we do not discuss exploits and disciplinary measures" policy on the mobos and posted an explanation of what they were doing about it.   If they're serious about not allowing exploits, they pretty much have to make an example out of this.

If SSG chose not to do major rollbacks on the exploiters, it would set a really bad precedent that exploiting early and often does indeed pay and pay well.  They caught a good bit of shit from the general population on the mobos when they didn't come down hard enough on the AS exploiters a while back.  I doubt they'll repeat that mistake.

Turbine has a history of allowing exploiters to reap the rewards of their success. This is often a reason why MMOs start to go downhill. If SSG has the intelligence to actually punish exploiters, removing the character and/or removing the benefit, then DDO just might stand a chance to resurface as relevant.

P.S. .... But probably not.

Honestly, exploits teach timing. Something just about every fucktard in DDO doesn't know.

This is extremely problematic because they have to respect international law when they trade in those countries. In some countries the consumer owns their digital goods and deletion of character would be considered stealing. They can do whatever the fuck they like to Americans players though.

Americans, no rights in regards to businesses. When will the rest of the world catch up this ideal way of life?

The problem with this is that they need to punish them in such a way that they don't quite the game entirely, otherwise removing portions of your player base is counter-intuitive. I know if I had my character deleted I'd uninstall and not look back - game ain't worth grinding from the beginning again.
