I've mostly given up, there's just no incentive, and no real way of gaining publicity. The quests that end up on the lists are the cr*appy farm quests, the good quests that people pour weeks into wallow unplayed.
I admittedly didn't read all the posts in this thread, but if you're looking for a guild that doesn't exploit on Beholder, I recommend the Unrepentant. We've been blacklisted for refusing to exploit! :) Our charter also specifically forbids it.
The map I was referring to still exists afterall. NW-DQA6D3FLQ I had removed many of the duplications way back when, but maybe its of use to you. I don't care about the map anymore, so feel free to do whatever you want with it.
Even more bizarre. I was doing a map that I no longer have mostly as an experiment map. I duplicated it once, ended up with like 2-4 copies of everything, and on the second duplication, ended up with at least a dozen or two of everything. I opted not to duplicate a 3rd time.
I logged in just to see how exaggerated the reports were, and man, that's ridiculous. I gotta say though, its pretty cool how... densely forested it is though. :p
I'm no fanboy when it comes to Cryptic communication skills, but I'm fairly confident that they did say there would be Foundry downtime somewhere. I'm at work at the moment so I can't go searching, but I'm fairly confident.
I'm willing to bet your encounter powers say something like Joystick 6-8 on them, yeah? Restart Neverwinter and it *may* fix it. I've had this happen to me a few times, despite never owning or using anything resembling a joystick.
