A rollback would be insane. Honestly this is the first I've heard of the dupe exploit. Guess I don't get out much


But it would more than affect that "one" CH or that "one" Artisan. A rollback affects everyone. I'd be incredibly pissed if they rolled back, probably wouldn't quit but ugh I can't imagine. I managed 4 boxes in tailor and reach novice pistoleer. I have 5 machines gathering one resource and 5 others gathering another. Day in day out I gather and grind and sell my way to Master Tailor.


I can see a few people running about with millions of the best resources being a very bad thing. But get the CSRs into the game to do some PI work and find out who they are and /kick them. If someone has millions of something sooner or later they'll get caught, it's not like these are private lives they lead. They are virtual characters stored on amachine (or several machines). They will get what is coming to them.


Looks like a job for a bounty hunter. . .


So Devs just fix the exploit and hunt the exploiters down. That would satisfy most people I think.

Delete the caracters who have duped items, and suspend there account for a week. A rollback of 3 days would cause me to quit, I spent the past days grinding at my weaponsmith skills and I have no intention of losing 300,000 weaponsmith exp.

If they roll me back 3 days, I would quit the game entirely. I spent hours finding someone to make me a fusion generator, earning money, found 2 rare pets, got several boxes in my master profession....need I go on.

In the short term it will hurt the economy but in the long term no one will know the difference.

I'm not replying to you to bash you for this post but I just think its fair to point out that many crafters will be quitting this game if they don't roll back...


I take it your a CH, so you probably have very little experience with the economy of this game and your statement about "no one knowing the difference" pretty much solidifies it.


The economy will be no more... There will be a large broup of people who have to do no work to make an insane amount of money. I am an architect... I make structures that require sometimes 40-50k of resources. Given if I find a good percentage spot the day the resource change happens, I can usually build an item this size maybe once a day. Someone with 1 million resources can make 20 of these... And I have seen posts where people were selling 4 million... Do you really think I and the rest of the honest Artisans in this game will not notice a difference in the long run?!?!

So for you to say this will go away with no one noticing is pretty ridiculous. Your three days of work is not worth ruining a game that was kinda cool (even though its still in beta..)


Think about it..
