Could've just taken down the servers when the exploit was discovered

But instead you live it up and alive and adding new cash shop items. Taking the servers down would have stopped people from flooding the markets with epics and destroying the market or whatever but instead you leave it up and get more people aware of the exploit and get more people to do it and continually do it non stop. Awesome. Good job!

    Actually, by now I think the majority of forum-goers have some idea of what's going on.

    And as for taking the servers down, that's really the kind of solution that's only an option if you're still in beta.

    Wonder how many people would rage over servers being down as opposed to someone having more diamonds then others.

    On the first page of this forum there are like three threads concerning this.

    Edit: Ok, I was wrong. Only one thread left concerning it.

    Clicky for those that can't use search.

    I have lurked these forums all day and have no clue what you are talking about. Not everyone is fascinated or gives a rats arss cause someone got something in a way you didn't approve of.

    I am assuming that is what this is REALLY about.

    Thus proving that you do have a clue what people are talking about.

    What I don't understand is that they fixed the CW 4-set piece bonus exploit within a day or two of its discovery, while the GF one has been out for many days now, and nearly everyone knows about it.

    The only piece you can't buy from the AH is the helm, and I see GFs offering 8million AD for the helm in zone chat because they know they'll make 8million AD within an hour if they have the full set. They gotta hurry up and fix this bug with the 4-set bonus for the Valiant Warrior, otherwise it'll ruin the economy even more.

    That's not true and the only reason you don't know is because you have no interest in finding out. The threads informing people of the bug have been taken down under guise of "explaining exploits" even though it's nothing more than a set of lvl 60 armor all GFs have access to. So it's just thinly veiled willful ignorance at this point with a little nudge from forum mods.

    They probably haven't "discovered" the exploit yet. Just because thousands of players know about it and are screaming on their forums and social media accounts doesn't mean they have read it or care to fix it.

    Oh my god! the AH is full of Endgame Epics! what madness is this!

    Surely in the history of all MMO's the Endgame gear has always stayed the same, never being surpassed by better, more epic,epic gear!


    Truely the fact that you can buy cheap endgame gear now because supply far outstrips demand due to a temporary exploit mean that the game will always be this way!!!!!!!
