I need to point out, people in PE zone/trade chat already selling new greater <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> of <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> which come from HE rewards.
It supported to get old lvl 60 gears from last mod HE rewards.
I opened all my focking rewards bcs you guys said all the focking rewards get from mod5 stay pre-mod 6 drops and now they get new lvl 70 gears from it?

Huh, after the patch that said they fixed old rewards to give only Mod 5 results, I copied a character over and no longer got any belts, although I still got some (fewer) resonance stones.
It really doesn't matter that much anyway, people will be getting belt drops from the heralds starting today -- or whenever the server behaves itself. :P
Yep, rollback or I'm probably just going to quit this game as this would set a terrible precedent going forward if they decide to ignore it. I just can't play a game run by people who would knowingly let something like this pass. We all understand that the team cannot get to everything as there are truckloads of bugs and exploits existing in this game from even many mods ago, but this is a big one that cannot be ignored.
as a system architect in real life I d say it is hard to rollback without backfire on players. You cannot just simply delete records from database since our system is complex.
Use old database backup = another few hours to rebuild data structure
Including but not limited to profession rank 3 rewards or other drop during this time
Or epic something from new lockbox
even if it will take 10 more hours is ok they cant let it without fix.
What are you talking about backfire on players? The servers were only up for 10-15 minutes so nobody is going to lose anything that they can't just get right back. Your grammar and the words you choose to convey your points make it very hard to understand you. This is not my first MMO though, as someone who has played most of the good MMOs and seen rollbacks in several games, I know what it means when you have to do a rollback and what the costs can be. This is a prime example of when to do a rollback though, when the servers have only been up for a very limited amount of time so nobody is losing any progress.
I doubt they are rolling back for this. much easier just to shut it down, push the fix to live and consider anyone who got a belt "just lucky"
they did the exact same thing in mod 2 or 3, there was a bug where opening lockboxes dropped epic mounts like 80% of the time, system zone chat was literally spammed to hell with them... so they just shut the server, fixed the bug, then reopened it without any rollbacks and players who got like 200 epic mounts were allowed to keep them.

Jesus havent even gotten to play the new mod yet, and i am already hating it.... And yeah the chance of cryptic doing anything to this exploit is close to zero...
