Recent Economic Abuse
Good thing is that according to provided info whole problem was fixed very quickly and just a few people has used the mechanic. If you are able to really determine who used unintended exploit and delete everything people got this way then everything should be fine imo.
If not and economy is fked up already then reset might really be the best way to not spoil the league. I was busy and started league just yesterday. I have no clue what happened. But problem is that these exploits are happening kind of regularly. Last league was big and this league we have it again. Eventhough this time GGG's reaction seems to be much faster and appropriatte, you guys should really think much harder when preparing leagues, if something could be exploited. | |
So, player should play a game in a way that it was designed, it is player duty to understand developer intentions. Funny. Crafting reasonable policy for such cases will be difficult, very challenging.

" It's quite simple. You can either use an exploit (that is a bug or loophole in the game, not a mechanic per se) or not. They decided to use the exploit to fk the economy for the whole player base. They should be punished. It's that simple. You do not need telepathic capabilities to fathom this. Kick Ass and Chew Bubblegum - That's nature for you.

To heavy handed imo. While this was the most extreme case we have seen lately. We have seen some crazy "clever" use cases lately and nothing was said about it or done really.
It really seems like you just spin a wheel or throw a dart at a dart board on what will or wont get banned. | |
" I disagree, making the rules/policy is far from simple. Start with defining terms like "exploit", "bug", "loophole" (but not a mechanic per se) and on top of that motivation/goals of perpetrator (decision to fk economy for the whole player base). It is a mess of vagueness. Last edited by feydh on Jul 31, 2024, 6:45:39 AM

Lemme guess.... empy?

" Thank you, this is exactly what happens. GGG was several times already inconsistent with their actions and interpreting the ToS. Yet, still they are devs and got full rights to punish, but plz just be fair. |

Clearly, the players planned to rip the economy for personal profit. Take the wealth and let them play SSF for the remainder of the league.
I d like the idea of a gallows or heads on pikes in Kingsmarch as a reminder to others. Maybe with a mouse over sign that reads: "Abused a mechanic to the detriment of others!" "Gratitude is wine for the soul. Go on. Get drunk." Rumi

- Lock the wealth generated so it is untradeable.
- Fix the oversight. Its not an exploit. The mechanics do what we were told they do. - Trade Ban for a month, as punishment specifically for trading aspect of this case. As I said, its not an exploit, but the stunt they pulled with that wealth is clearly poor behavior, and would be a problem even with 'legitimately earned' wealth. | |
Would be fine and all if they didn't ignore the T17 abuse and more importantly, the 6 link shield nonsense last league. Everyone got off scot-free lol
I'm with the "actually test your stuff if you're gonna make big sweeping changes every patch now" crowd. |
