I think the discussion on whether its an exploit or not is really kinda pointless. The reason is that there is very little difference between people trading cross server lots and using ur jedi lots for something. Having said that, since there is no problem trading cross server lots then I don't see the issue with using ur jedi lots. I consider the lots that exist for accounts that have been deleted more of an exploit than using jedi lots.

so what happens when you are just walking by a house and suddenly you get the message This structure has been successfully transfered



It's not my fault someone transfered them to me. I didn't ask for them, and I have no way of getting rid of them.



Ahem,

You can re-deed the house and get rid of it .

There's a post asking this question every week...when are the DEVS going to answer us? Is this an exploit?


Can someone post a link where the DEV have responsed to this question?

I could have sworn I read somewhere that the developers had stated that Jedi having a structure on their lots was not considered an exploit, but with so much information, rumors, and hearsay on these forums, who am I to say for certain?


If anyone happens to know what I am talking about, though, and knows where this statement can be found, it would sure help. Of course, the developers taking a few seconds to simply say "yes, this is an exploit that may incur corrective measures" or "no, this is not considered an exploit" would do just as well, but we know better than that.

I agree here. The conflicting messages people report getting from CSRs are just not enough to go on to get a firm grasp of developer intent. A nice, simple "This is/isn't an exploit" type message would be very much appreciated.

As like other people, I wouldn't of even thought this was a exploit.

I had multiple houses on one char and just transfered one to the jedi.
Had no idea that they werent supposed to have any.

How the heck are we supposed to know this crap!

Well I guess im safe then. I have never had any messages. So until im told im not allowed to use my lots directly on these forums from a developerI will be keeping my houses up under my jedi I place all my structures with one character as he is my designer for my city, with me doing this I get the structures laid out as I want. No newbs messing up my design So I transfer my structures and have no knowldge as I never got a message saying my Jedi can't have this it said the Structure has been transfered to [Such N' such] Successfully so I don't believe all this till a Dev tells me otherwise. Peace out!




You -think- you're safe until someone tells you otherwise, but in fact you are only safe until someone deletes the building without warning.

Then you -will- believe it even if no dev ever "tells you otherwise".

I don't see an exploit here, I just see broken ass coding.







Someone? You walked into some random persons house and they're just gonna transfer you the house out of the blue? How often do you think that will happen?






hehe Well Lemme tell ya!
Durring the first week I was a DE (WAAAAAAAAAAAY back in August?) I had to get rid of all the MSE droids I was making becuse there was no /practice option. I made hundreds, and because I objected to destroying them, I usually "tamed" the droid, then transfered them to an unsuspecting passer-by. I didn't pay attention to whom it was - just targetted a player and hit my /transfer macro.


I DIDtransfer bout 20 droids to an /afk person like this. That was the 2nd most fun I had while playing DE. He told me later that he had all 20 droids on his data-pad.

I love the mouse droid thing. I may buy a crate of them just to do that to some of the AFK spammers around coronet.

99% of the time if you have to do a work a round to get some thing.. So when you try to place a house with your jedi and you get a system message that says :"a jedi has no need of such things" . Then you proceed to place that structure with another character and then /transferstructure to your jedi.You have to know that your not playing by thier rules IE exploit







My jedi has a house... but I never attempted to work around plain and simple it was placed with items inside that I didn't want on my main so rather than picking it up and giving the deed and all the countless items to my jedi to place I transfer the structure.



Anyway what really pisses me off is I see cities using massive exploits that affects a great deal of people, unlike this jedi house issue which affects NO ONE, however the devs don't go around doing anything to these cities.


Whats more is teh classification of sample/force heal macro being an exploit, when it hardly differs from the massive ammount of tumbling that has gone on and continues to go on. I do sample/force heal but not on the roof of a pa hall simply because I don't care to move a pa hall every other day or so. But anyone willing to do so I say more power to them. And I think taking action against these jedi is absolutely rediculous.

This is the exploit that caused all of our payouts to be 15K, they used to be 150k regardless of who the Jedi was.


A Jedi has already come to these boards and offered this to the BH community as he is tired of the game and wanted to ruin it for the rest of us from what I took from his post.


It is an exploit and has been stated as an exploit back when we were trying to get our higher paying bounties back.


Jedi XP loss is there to help prevent this. However, there will always be some idiots who feel they have to ruin it for everyone else. It is not like money in the game is actually worth anything legally.
