Devs don't have time apparently to work on a decent storyline, strange, considering it's a D&D game, which is supposed to be BASED on storyline. But, with so many lockboxes to implement and other items made to drain the players' wallets - no wonder they don't have time for a story.
Half of my friends list quit the game waiting for a reasonable content, the other half is busy exploiting gifts of simril. Really, this is all what is left from Neverwinter?
No. People still use gifts of simril in party, check the chat zones. As long as it's possible to use gifts of simril - exploit is usable. and exploiters still use it, got evidence of it, reported to support but they were unable to fix it for the past 3 weeks.
You can still use the gifts. You will get starlight parcels. In fact, since Cryptic did not fix the gift exploit it seems people are allowed to use it, so they can get infinite amounts of ZEN items: wards, mounts, companions and bonding stones, all without spending any $ on them.
If they repaired the exploit when they received detailed explanation how it worked there would be no "excessive amount of opened gifts" on the server. It's CRYPTIC's fault.
It's a pity they do not care anymore then. Winter event exploit still hasn't been fixed, although I've sent 2 tickets to support with detailed explanation of the exploit, I've also notified Akro about it by PM (no answer from him). After almost 3 weekes - exploit is still working.
It's not about spending the lights. It's about lesser bonding runestones and gold, which you can get from opening the packages after using gifts of simril. If it's possible to use the gifts in a party after the event is over - exploiters will be quite happy as the gifts bug is still not fixed ^^
Guild halls? Hoousing? Marriages? Which of those features would generate additional income for the publisher? None of them. It's better for them to focus on new mods (new items people would spend money on) rather than on features useless from the financial point of view. There are always people protesting against…
I feel really sorry for all those people spending real money on winter event items while the event exploit's still active, allowing people to farm infinite amounts of lights 24/7 to get everything they want for free and destroy the market by flooding AH with companions and runestones. And now... it's double. Great.
Can't connect to the Gateway ("Neverwinter Gateway is currently undergoing maintenance."). Can't use the game client (unable to establish connection to patch server). What now ?
So according to your logic we should exploit the winter event because AH will be more flooded with illegaly obtained, cheap companions and everyone could afford them. Great. Why removing boters then? It's the same situation. I can't understand how anyone could defend people breaking ToS and claim their actions have…
<Please use support to report bad behavior in game. The forums are not the place for such. ~Zeb> I don't want to send countless reports to the support, I'm simply asking why aren't you taking any actions against people flooding AH with exploited winter event items, companions mainly ?
