Well today he announced that he is having a lottery before he goes on a little "vacation". I assume he's just trying to buy some loyalty before he switches accounts after either a suspension or banning. Never know though.

Faith at this moment is dwindling day by day. Doesn't take weeks to notice something unusual is going on. How long before we get notice on the subject? Whether they got warned, banned, or that it is within the scope of the crafting schemes.


I've seen warnings, bans, the moment that it's reported, but incident of this magnitude doesn't seem to be getting the attention it warrants.

Not worth leaving the game for every little d*ck that shows up to try to turn the game around to their advantage using exploits. I plan to stick around for quite some time. I'll admit i haven't been playing as hard as I have...I maxed out 3 characters in their chosen professions, I definetely know there will be more to accomplish in this game then just crafting. I'm still hoping for "fat l3wt."


Only thing to do at this time is ignore Fiku/Vast and wait for the developers response. So far though, I'm starting to think that they have not contacted either Fiku or Vast on the issue and may be working to "fix" the bug, patch, and ignore the community that have realized something odd was going on.

Ya know, just posting up this little "trick" will get immediate action, although I'm not sure how vulnerable the poster would be to getting their account sacked.

Rather not have that info flying around as of yet, so it's better to see what the developers say first.

I am tired of this thought process that just keeping the epxloits quite and sending them as /bugs gets the problems fixed. Its just plain BS.


How long did people take advantage of the resource dupe exploit before it was posted publically to exploiters.org? Weeks if not months. It got posted on exploiters.org and was fixed the next day.


How long did people take advantage of the recent credit dupe? Weeks and months. When did it get fixed? One day after being posted to exploiter.org.


How long did the Devs and CSRs know about these... months, all of us /bug'd this stuff long ago. They just ignore these until they are made completely public. Then they are instantly fixed.


So instead of letting a few people take advantage for weeks. Post the **edit** thing so it will get fixed. Any lamers that try and use it after the posting get caught and banned.

I haven't seen whether or not the developers call it a bug/exploit or part of the in game scheme of things.

Thats because SOE has a policy of ignoring and just plain pretending problems, bugs, and exploits don't exist until they are "fixed"

Yup, and those taking advantage of it on Bria aren't getting banned, warned for it. So I'm starting to think that maybe this is "ingame" design and should be posted. If that being the case, we'll know if it was an exploit or not, if the CSR removes it after the post.

I cannot believe we haven't gotten any resolution yet. The only thing I could see that would take this long would be for them preparing to wipe servers of these guns.
