Thank you Mark, I would hate for 2 leagues to be ruined in a row due to economic exploits

Bug exploit is a bannable offense


What "bug" was exploited?


None, they used the tools the devs game them to generate a ridiculous amount of currency.
Sure, the devs may not have intended for the tools to be used this way, but that's not an exploit, that's oversight.
You can't ban people for having higher levels of creativity with tools than the devs intended.

This is the definition of a bug
I suggest the characters to be voided completely as punishment, let them start the league over again. Also give them a warning that if they abuse another exploit then they'll be permanently banned. This is the way to go.

People deserve 2nd chances but there should also be a punishment.

You should also look into this Fubgun story, it smells fishy afak.

I completely agree.

The damage was already done; uniques jumping from 2 divines into 14 in one day is insane.

The punishment should be AT LEAST the voiding of those characters.
I have played this game since Abyss league aprox. pretty much every league for countless hours. (if i would give it a guess, 8k hrs)

What happened in ultimatum was luckily taken care of before it ruined the economy.

But this should have an even harsher punishment, the economy has been affected by quite abit already from this even though you do say the currency "is not going to be going back into the market"

I was not at home for this times League start, but i WAS going to log in today for my start.
But i will most likely not play this league due to this abuse. and i do not believe i am the only one with the same reaction.

It did look like a good league with alot going for it..

and there is no excuse like "we did not know it was an abuse", there is no way ONE CAN do this WITHOUT thinking it is an abuse.
Was this in softcore? If so, lol.
If hardcore, ban them!
This is good, I might actually continue to play.
Ban them from trade settlers / trade settlers HC. They can play SSF :)
Can you imagine thinking you just won the league only for your currency to be locked and your account pending a ban investigation
Highkey i dont think GGG should ban them, abusing a function is human nature IF YOU ALLOW IT, and lowkey GGG allowed it by not writing the proper code to prevent it. It's GGG's fuck up (yes i understand GGG isnt perfect, but it doesnt take away from the fact that it is THEIR fuck up) NO OFFENSE But locking the currency to just be used by them and them only, i think, is a positive solution.
That way no one else is a affected. This would also FORCE them to use the divines for metacrafts or re-rolls.
Thoughts?


GGG please dont ban my account for this post
Ban then, you know this is the answer so quit fussy footing around it.
