Thread: What is your opinion? Exploited?
Exploited? Barring the possibility that there exists some super-secret method to bypass caps and experimentation point limitations somewhere deep within the crafting system, Yes.
If you have seen this weapon in game (assuming it is not your own) I would file a ticket on it, so we might get a chance to clear up this mess of exploited-ish weapons that are beginning to appear on every galaxy.

Secret, Hardly. Even noobs were talking about it when it was going on, and they've taken it away and we all have to abide by the caps now.

There are a few things that could have happened with this hammer. As someone else previously said, it could have been an exceptional/legendary weapon that converted very well. I have a hard time believing this since the damage isn't capped.
My theory is: Pre-CU speed power-up. Power-ups placed on weapons pre-cu converted better than other weapons post-cu because the power-ups allowed the weapons to convert above cap. These pre-CU p-up'd weapons have the stats of a p-up'd weapon w/out the p-up. The same thing is happening with the character transfer.
And lastly, the double-slice bug/trick/exploit that was recently fixed. I still think it was a pre-cu p-up'd weapon.

I proferred the opinion earlier that it may have been a lucky pre-CU conversion. After a PM exchange I am now convinced it's not, but just another example of an exploited weapon in the game. There are many (weapons and exploits), and they still exist.
That no action is taken is yet another indicator of the sorry state this game is in.

nein, all pre CU power hammers converted to have 104 SAC

How do you exploit a Power Hammer?
Pretty easy, find a bug, and use it to your advantage.. Boom, Spoited.
It's not been looted post CU as all loot weapons now have 800 max condition.
It's not a pre cu hammer as all pre cu hammers converted to have 104 SAC.
If a crafted weapon is moved to a new server using the character transfer system, it no longer shows the maker's name after the transfer.
Mapiasal
I have heard of alot of weapons like this one recently.
