Serious Foundry Abuse.

Certain Foundries are giving a level or just over a full level in less then 20 seconds.

Please look in to this, people leveling from 1 to 40 in 20 mins.

1 to 60 in 40 mins, wearing nothing but starter gear.

    Since the game is still in beta there's bound to be some major bugs.

    This is not the first game to release a dungeon making system and previous games have had similiar issues.

    When you give players the ability to create a form of progression for themselves, expect people to find out ways to abuse it.

    So test the hell out of it.

    I see several foundries that state that they will grind you up quickly. I don't think it was thought to be used this way and I'm not thrilled that people use it for this but I don't use them.

    That quest ID doesn't even exist. Is this a hoax?

    Well if you can make quest that will require walking from one point to another that is close to each other and then grab reward, then sure it is farmable. Same as all the foundry quests called "free [insert encounter name] kills". They should all be banned and their authors as well.

    I would add in agreement a point about maps thats sole purpose is effortless xp / items farming should be reported and after enough reports GM gets message that there is new farming quest, verifies it, bans the map and the author.
    Suggestion for quality ensuring Foundry rewarding mechanics

    If you watched the stream video, you will see they keep changing the ID on purpose.

    He should be banned for abusing a known issue and not reporting it.

    Anyone knows that this type of abuse is against the EULA, also, he should have any and all characters rerolled to level 1.

    I have been watching all day as multiple people were on twitch showing how they can get to 60 without trying using a ranged class. Then Focuzed comes on and has his friend make a map where you can AoE knock a bunch of ogres off a ledge and get a level or more per run. Takes about a minute to do it depending. His stance is that until the developers tell him he cant do something he isnt going to stop. I started playing this week and i stopped playing this week. If and only if these people get banned or rolled back this game is pointless. If the game wasnt free and you all paid to have this happen? You would be screaming bloody murder about people ruining the game.

    Hey All,

    Thanks for taking the time to report these issues to us. For future reference, there is no need to report these issues publicly. Due to the nature of exploits in general, reporting them on the forums can do more harm than good. Moving forward, please report these types of issues via the in-game ticket system .

    Our team is actively investigating these reports and taking action as needed. Ensuring that the Foundry remains a flexible toolset while maintaining balanced game mechanics is a high priority for us.

    Thank you for your understanding!
