damn. then many people are gonna be fucked in coming days. if they even miss just a few, i lean towards snitching from individual reports, rather than universal log scans.


People still need to check the logs to ban players, so there may still be a few who slip through the cracks. From what I've gathered it most likely was a program that they used to find people.

in other news; what game should we move to?


Pokemon league for Path of Exile starts on Friday. (This is a fresh reset of the game.)
They did major nerfs to the atlas and redid the ascendancies (i.e., epic destinies).

Looks fun. I am Tesrali on there. Add me. Same steam name.

Pretty sure it is you.

Think of it as a life lesson to make you realize "why the fuck do i still spend money on this pile of shit?"

Good point on the money but you were a tad off with who got  fucked. I'm back in the game with  a  full refund of $199.99  Wink

I think you guys are hilarious. Thanks so much for distracting me while I fight the flu.

My favorites so far:

'I only did it once to see if it worked'
'I didn't do it (I SWEAR!!!) but I am banned'
'I just spent money and now Im banned!'
'I'm leaving the game because of this, but Im going to stick around the vault to see if I can convince someone else to leave too so I don't feel like a schmuck for cheating so blatantly and expecting to get away with it.'
'Ill leave to!! You're not a schmuck!!'
'Why is SSG banning people for exploits. They didnt do it before for exploit X'- this one is especially funny because it is classic whataboutism.

The only person I am disappointed in is GUID. You accepted the ban and shrugged like an adult. You really are going against the grain here.....

This stuff is classic. Thanks! Keep it coming guys!!!

Pay $20 and get your character undeleted. I sure as fuck hope they forget about that. It would be the BEST bypass to SSG punishment ever.

being lazy and not caring about sploits too much turns out to be a strong strategy. I just couldn't be bothered to finish a saga and try this one on my capped main (only toon) because like, after 12 years, who even gives a shit?

Soz if any of you got banned, that really sucks.

I thought Turbine/SSG inserted code that would detect signs of certain exploitive behaviors and, if memory serves me, they even announced, or at least mentioned, it publicly in a thread/post on the DDO Forums.

Looks like that code has finally borne some fruit.

It appears that I was correct.

Quote:
We are in the process of engaging in targeted disciplinary action against characters and accounts that engaged in a recent exploit that allowed them to complete Sagas and get rewards for them repeatedly without re-running the Saga. Players who engaged in this activity will see one of several things happen to their accounts: We will be issuing temporary game bans, and in some cases will be removing the benefit they gained through this exploit. For our most repeat or malicious offenders, we will be removing the characters that took frequent advantage of this exploit, in addition to more restrictive bans.

https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthread.php/494366-Saga-Exploit-Discipline-Informa...

It sure sounds like that code I thought the Devs said they put in to detect exploitive behavior was, indeed, present.

Thanks for popping back in to quote yourself and tell us how right you were (despite the fact that there is no mention of how they came about their list of culprits.) I bow to your alleged cprrectness. Roll Eyes

Not sure how some people can have exploited 17m shards and get a 3-7 day ban - how many lives were gold rolled ?
And then people who claim they exploited sagas once get a 30 day ban.


Is that you Monnligh?

I am sure that was not the case as I have had a few guildies banned  since yesterday  The one guy has not done it in over 3 weeks and he was still banned I am thinking more of snitched then SSG figuring out a code to use

Given that we have confirmed reports of people receiving bans for simply being in 3BC it seems most likely that it was based on snitches.
  

I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

In the end it "should" work out.  Had a few guildies that got booted from the server and werent able to log on yesterday, after about 30 mins or so they were able to get back on.  Im just guessing, but would assume they were getting their account researched, as said guildies said they did obtain a saga, but legally.

One guy who got banned did it ONCE - on Saturday night.   Others did it only a few times and it was ages ago.  I suspect a monitor was more responsible than rats.

Everyone I know who got banned did the crime.

maybe, but then there would be a lot more bans than there are now. also, people tend to severely underestimate the amount of scrubs in this game who have a deep rooted jealousy of anyone who can play this game well. people who have spent a decade here and are still scrubs are largely the ones who are anti-exploits. you can see them all on the mobo threads and a few here.

it doesnt take much to get snitched on. i come here and see an exploit thread, i log in game and start naming names of people who i dont like and are likely to exploit. simple as that.

You need to re-read Cordo's quote and really think about it. The clues are clearly there.

I did exploit the shit out of saga and got no ban.

If you were caught you are gay, retarded, stupid or Fran.
  

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
