Thread: A plea to my fellow armorsmiths, please do not participate in the crafting bug

Which means: tell us what the exploit is!
Maybe I'm doing it through ignorance!
Some clarification.......
If this is what I think it is....serial number exploit, it doesn't create anything that can't already be made not using the exploit. It simply makes it easier to make the components.
For example...
To make some segments using kryat scales, you're required to make the schematic..losing one scale and limiting the schematic to the stack of scales with the same serial number.
This would allow you to make a schematic that can be used for any scale regardless of the serial number. So really, all it does is make it easier to make more of the segments. You will still need to have the loot to do it.
Please correct me if I'm wrong. I haven't done it, so may be mistaken.
I agree that it's unethical, but hardly the game ruining hack of the century.
It can be used to make better stuff than you could normally make. I had typed out exactly how to do it, but I'm sure someone would get irate with me for posting it. If you really want to know how the exploit part of this bug works, I'm sure there are enough posts still around from the unserialed krayt tissue days to piece together everything.
Let's just put it this way - you could do a whole lot of damage with one loot of exceptional layers.

LOL. When double slicing was running rampant on Ahazi, we were all PM'ing Taurin about it. People were admitting they were doing it. SOE put their head in the sand, and in fact got mad at many of us for pointing out that people were still exploiting a bug they thought they had fixed.
If you PM Taurin, don't hold your breath.
I have never seen a Krayt scale without a serial #. But if you are talking Peko feathers and the fact that RIS layers can go in comp, I'm not sure that is an exploit. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. The only people that can answer that are the devs.
I've nevermade RIS layers unless I am making RIS armorbecause I don't want to use that many peko feathers for comp. Who's got 60-something feathers for one suit of comp. On Tempest the feathers are going for 200k+. Just doesn't make sense.
