Trying to figure out if they had any system or they just did whatever the fuck they felt like doing on a case by case basis.

No option for the handful of us who were too laxy/apathetic to use the sploit at all?
  

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.

Hi, my name is Revaulting, and it's been three months since I last logged in to DDO. Today, I was tempted, because it would be funny if I caught a ban.

This is an especially excellent thing for deciding how risk averse you are for future sploits.

They had no system to it, they pretty much did what they wanted to.  On a rather large teamspeak and gathering info from places and so far no pattern.   


Looks like they are just really pissed off and want to shoot themselves in the face Smiley

Certainly looks that way.

The entire way they've dealt with this has been unprofessional, but the most impressive part is the way that a solid percentage of the folks who got banned still haven't received any communication from SSG. As of Sunday night, nearly a week after they got banned.

It's like they're trying to write a new chapter in their book, "What Not To Do When Trying To Run A Successful Game". If there's one thing people who play online games are good at it's getting pissed off.

Suspension length wasn’t tied to priors? I assumed that’s why I was out for a month, again.

Had to file ticket to find out that it was actually a 30 day suspension, of course. Still no emails.

I’m not talking about deletions. Just 7 day vs 30 day suspension. Did anyone with a clean record get 30 days? Anyone with priors get 7?

If there’s no pattern at all then probably they had multiple people working on it without clear guidelines (or the same person, before/after lunch). Then it’s just luck for who looked over your account and when.

How is this company run so poorly?

It's just baffling.

Where's the option for "The process for the exploit looked like a lot of work and I was too lazy to bother with it"?

It's kind of a paradox.  I'm lazy enough that I would gladly exploit a bunch of experience / lives, but I'm also lazy enough that if it's too much of a hassle I'd rather just take a year to stroll through the leveling process.

I think that's the donuts option. That was my choice as well.

Hi Cordo, i duped, i recycled, i killed players outside quests, i got thousends of astral shards without buy a single one in the store, i did every possible cheat in this game and never got a day ban.

Thx for all the fun.
  

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

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.

The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

We have at least one example of a person getting banned/deleted for having been in 3BC.

As for the 7 vs 30, I think it was just up to the GM who hit the button and nobody much card since they planned to delete the characters anyway. When you are basically forcing someone out of the game, does it really matter?

I did it for a little more than 1 epic level and it wasn't in 3BC.

No ban or repercussions at all.
