No, I said "illegally".

Why won't you sell it? Why is that "bad"?, when buying it is "OK"?

It's not about IF the item would be destroyed. It's not about the "risk". It's about YOU buying an item you KNEW was made "illegally". You KNEW this item was never meant to exist, and you bought it anyway. You KNEW the people who made the item broke the rules, saying "thou shall not exploit".

I'm done. Not only do I disagree with every letter you write, I also find it very hard do discuss with people not knowing what a paragraph is.

At least they're not banning people over abusing the glitch.

I suppose if you sold glitched items for a fortune in mirrors knowing full well these would be edited out of the game soon, you should catch a ban.

But punishing players for discovering a bug in your code (and doing what people will do in a token economy with artificial scarcity constraints) thankfully hasn't been considered.

Just wanted to be 100% sure but all the items were removed finally?
How many legacy kaoms were deleted by this?

I scoured through every poe.trade listing and I could not find even a single one left listed ( so there could possibly some unlisted but still bugged but I highly doubt that ).

It seems that GGG cleaned up a partial amount of their mess.. well it was better than we could have expected.

I personally know that 1 Legacy Kaoms has been deleted because of this ( it was the one that got linked in standard global chat 820 ).

Might have been more, but I really hope not because I've always wanted a legacy Kaoms.

I've said multiple times, they should be banning people (a) who made bank off the exploit, and (b) who used the exploit multiple times.

If you used the exploit once and kept the result for posterity, that's arguably just science (for reference, I used it zero times). Anything more deserves a fucking ban, and I'm appalled that they seem to be banning absolutely no one.

They clearly have no issue with PoE being considered Pay to Win, since this is the first true pay to win exploit and they aren't issuing bans.

Lol yeah, ban players because your QA is shitty, and you release buggy messes each league.

No way they should punish players becuase their development work is consistently subpar.

Also this notion of "bank" is absurd. Like a few hundred exalts mean anything anyways, and the leagues get reset every few months.

This is a non-issue. Players should not be punished for embarrassing GGG oversights.

If you encourage your players to be shitty they will be shitty, just like if you encourage QA to be shitty by buying supporter packs for buggy leagues they will be shitty.

Basically they should have banned them, but they were never going to, just like people shouldn't automatically buy supporter backs, but they were never going to ^^

It was *so obviously* an exploit. Way more obviously than the original delve fossil farming. About as obviously as the hideout item duplication exploit.

Yes, people should be banned for blatantly exploiting things. That's fucking obvious. Yes, it's GGG's fault that an exploit is possible, but it's not GGG's fault that someone chooses to exploit it multiple times, it's their own.

Or what, in future murder cases, are you going to say it's the victim's fault for being alive?
If stuff like this really bothers you, you can always play SSF. It works. You know exactly what rule set everyone in your game is playing by. You know if you're playing with cheaters or not. Everyone's happy. It's utter bliss.
