What will be the consequences of abusing the Foundry exploit?

So, devs are looking in to it with a ETA of ???

Why not shut Foundry down until its fixed?

Can I make 8 characters right now and have them all level 60 by the end of the day with no consequence?

Will players be banned or rolled back to level 1 for abusing it?

You need to fix this PW, now. Not tomorrow, not the next day, now.

Shut the foundry down and get this fixed.

The next upcoming event is double xp in Foundry in 24 mins ROFL..........

    Hey just found this in foundry randomly searching, I dont see anywhere that its an exploit, I also looked around through foundry faq it doesn't say anything is wrong...its user created content so why would anyone get banned for using it? Also I dont think people such as myself would get banned when i RANDOMLY found it in the top 10 foundry, so yeah you should stop advertising it even if it is bad.

    Why are you so stuck on the fact that people are using a system in the game? You do understand that this is still Open Beta? These things are found, exploited, and addressed. Calling me out on a public forum advertising the issue as you see it, an "exploit" just advertises it more, which in turn will make more people want to try it out. Not very smart for such a smart cookie. Reporting it, yes. Great job, I applaud you. Going on and on about something they already said they are taking a look at is doing nothing. Better to advertise it before hard launch. If my wizard gets rolled back, then so be it. I had a great fun evening on stream and all 600 viewers did as well. I've WELL supported this game spending hundreds already in the last week. If you want to discuss this anymore, please be open about it and feel free to discuss this with me on my stream or through a more personal method. Thank you

    Don't try and church it up.

    You know what you are doing is against the EULA and to top it off you blantanly admit it in your stream videos.

    This needs to be dealt with. Your entire guild is abusing this exploit and god knows how many others.

    The reason I am so mad about it is because PW should be shutting Foundry down until this is fixed.

    Double XP foundry in 11 mins and you could have 4 level 60's in 1 hour.

    Right so a level every 20 seconds seems right to you?

    Must be ok then, lets remove the entire content the game has and just leave Foundry in with these quests.

    I am talking to people doing it right now.

    Clearly, you are trying to stop it from being fixed faster.

    Holy <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> your mad because someone somewhere across the world is doing something in a bug infested game? you do realise that maybe less than 1% of the population of this game is probably using this "exploit" I wouldn't even call it an exploit, just really smart use of the foundry...where does it say in the foundry guidelines that you can't use this? or cant create anything like this.

    Get over yourself

    Church it up? Kinda hard for someone who doesn't believe in religion. Please, enlighten me on how exactly it is against the EULA? I am curious to hear what you have to say. Yes I did state that until I'm told not to do it, then I would. Again the game is NOT EVEN RELEASED YET. Why do you care so much about something that no way involves you or affects you in any negative way? Again, enlighten me. I've played through the story already, I've farmed Tier 1 and some Tier 2 gear. So doing it a second time, to do the same story, on a character that I will play maybe once a week, isn't a big deal. Now, world hunger.... That is a big deal. Again, please come talk to me in stream or pm me. I would be glad to discuss this with you like big boys.

    lol. Tae, it literally is impossible to get from 1-60 in a few hours. Why? CUZ OF FOUNDARY EXP CAP. YOU CANNOT LEVEL FROM 1-60 IN 1 DAY, THERE IS A CAP IN PLACE TO STOP IT. STOP CRYING ABOUT SOMETHING YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT.

    I've been doing it, I'm not trying to stop it from being fixed faster. I'm saying you legitimately have no clue what you're talking about. Not just here, but also in the other topic you made on this.
    You just randomly spew out dumb stuff...

    Read the EULA next time you log in. Abuse of known exploits that assist in accelerated level process will result in what ever action PW decide to take based on your actions.

    It is because of attitudes like yours that MMORPG's are so messed up today.

    Foundry is one of the key selling features for this game and to think 1% of the games population is using this tactic, you would have to be a moron.

    Just because one person has been a vocal cookie and started streaming it, blatanly saying he will keep doing it until he is told otherwise, doesn't mean other people haven't been or still are doing it themselves with non-public Foundries.

    Actually it does effect the game in one negative way, the entire best column gets flooded with XP grind quests pushing the quests people took a lot of time and work to craft for the game to the bottom.
    If they do intend to keep XP grind quests then they should have their own category, however from the previous thread it looks as if for Cryptic this is not a desirable use of the Foundry. Just saying :P

    Wait, so you're saying that if I do a random foundry quest, I might get leveled way too fast?!
    Are you serious?!
    Holy <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font>, I don't want that,
    since I prefer to level slowly to enjoy the content as I go.
    Hope they fix it
    Should I just stay out of the foundry for a while?

    I repeat, WHERE in the foundry does it say you cannot play maps that are an exp "exploit"...most people who find this map randomly wouldnt know if this is an exploit. YES it says it in the EULA but it doesnt say anything about playing FOUNDRY maps. Now shutup and sit down

    At this time I would like to request that all exploits are reported via private correspondence. Report specific users via the in-game ticket system, and report general exploit information via the bug report tool.

    Allowing the Foundry to be a flexible creation tool while maintaining game balance is important to us. Our team is actively investigating these types of issues and will continually address them.

    We take these reports seriously and will take the appropriate actions. To set expectations now, I would like to state that, due to privacy concerns, we do not disclose disciplinary actions taken against specific accounts, so please understand that we will not be able to answer questions about that.

    Thank you!
