Ive gotten word that you can bypass the requirement for matching serial numbers on schematics for geo weapons if you use the looted no serial number cubes. Does anyone know if this is by design or an exploit. I would hate to see the economy of the enhanced and geo weapons ruined as word of this gets out.

If you have experience with this feel free to share your info here so we can clarify this. We don't want our proffesion to go through the cleansing that the smugglers had a couple months back. Thanks for your time.

Also lets find out where these no serial number cubes are coming from. The word I have so far is that they are all looted from one of the chests in the geo cave not off random creatures. If we can confirm this I bet we can get this bug fixed easier.

using those to bypass the identical cube requirements is considered an exploit, but for some reason they still have not fixed it.

POKEY THE PENGUIN SIG REMOVED BY GARVA BECAUSE "Just because you are crafty enough to get around the technicality of it being a .jpg or .gif does not mean it is not an image, it is not ascii art, it is an image" SO HERE IS MY NEW SIG.

They are called an exploit if you make a schematic with them due to you can reproduce the same item thousands of times. So they will ban you even though it is a bug.

Its a filty exploit and one you will easily get caught at doing. Even useing 6 identical cubes for schematic will only yeild you two weapons with the same serial. If a csr finds three and your name is on them. Woes to you. Can you say banned from the game. Sure I knew you could.

This is not by design go ask the csrs in the chatroom. It is a bug, and not one limited to the cubes. We have been looting blank clothing attachments, and armor attachments for near a year now. I have even gotten blank clothing and kliknik glands. You want to check this stuff out for yourself go down the road on yavin to the blueleaf and loot the chests. Every so often you will get a blank item.

Will people stop looking for excuses to cheat. You have a brain use it. Your not supposed to factory run dxr rifles and so forth. That is why the cubes are serialized in the first place.

this was brought up to devs within a week of geo cave opening and they still haven't done anything. they took months to acknowledge and fix the huge krayt exploit that wrecked the weapon economy on several servers, this will probably take even longer.

I know the majority of smithsare honest and would not use this exploit. But as we have seen in the past it is usually the minority that ruins things for everyone. Lets get this issue fixed or even recognized before we see wholesale exploiting on our servers.

People are getting even gustier about openly flaunting their exploitiness. There's an auction on my server (Gorath) now for a geonosian sonic pistol that "includes a serialess white cube".

I don't know what's worse - that they are so flagrant about it or knowing that they'll probably still get away with it - such is my faith in the vigilance of SOE. The exploiters can use public forums and will be fine. It's like a drug deal going down in front of the DEA HQ and they aren't even given a second glance.

It sounds like the exact same problem as with unserialized krayt tissues. To me, its an obvious exploit.
