    For those of you just joining us, allow me to summarize this thread using a one-word synopsis for each post:

    Panic. Rage. Confusion. Rage. Rage. Panic. Lecture. Rage. Confusion. Reason. Rage. Rage. Insult. Rage. Panic. Pontificate. Panic. Rage.

    Just repeat that list 228 times, and you've pretty much read the entire thread.

    Congratulations!

    That would make a stone hearted near emotionless Half Orc chuckle.

    A home only for top guilds? Won't happen. The VIP room is used by ALOT of people. The area itself is just known as an RP hub and it is used as such though plenty of idiotic trolls come in and out on a daily basis.

    I would love to actually find some RP'ers, I can't find any groups other than the "Zergers" who just run as fast as possible and cuss me when i look around. lvl 60 CW 10.3 GS and yeah I bought most of it from AH...well rings and amulet anyway, the rest is glory gear or delzoun gift for founders pack. Oh i bought the belt too. Silverhand@bedwyer

    You are a sad sad little man, allow me to explain how you can make a lot of AD. You can only REFINE 24k AD made per day in quests, that does NOT mean you can only earn 24k a day.

    Read the following:

    Buy a $40 zen card. Sell the Zen at 370 each. that's 1.48 million AD. then you take and BUY zen when the market dips to 350 each. well now you have 4228 AD, so you sell it back out at 360 well that's 1,522,080 AD. that's a profit of 42k AD. I have a friend that strictly does this and has made over 3m AD from the 600k he got from the founders pack and hasn't spent anymore money than the initial $60.

    Its basically a stock market...but there is only one company to buy into.

    Why is he a sad little man?

    Oh good we're 'getting closer'. How horribly vague.

    Internally they're routing a position paper on how they're going to deal with the situation and someone apparently has a real life and isn't answering their emails. Aka asleep at the wheel. Literally tens of people are waiting to play now, and they're unable to get the cheese on the phone?

    ...how incredibly vague and worse - off putting how inconsequential we all are.

    LOL... i feel you. Perhaps when Amex asks why my payment hasn't reached them... i will reply, Its "Getting Closer".

    Yea... not the type of answer i would expect from adults.
    If I approached my job with an answer like that that, i would find myself out of a job by sun up.
    They came from.... BEHIND!!!! ;)

    Two things:

    1. Thank you for making my day.
    2. You mean I could have been watching this video for the past how many years and I'm just seeing it now for the first time.

    I feel cheated

    Yup. night made.

    I have about 6.5 million, a whole suit of master assassin armor, greater lightning and greater tene enchants. Its not hard. All I did was hover over the AH and do bidding vs doing buyouts. I picked up my master assassin helm for 350k, they sell in the millions in a buyout. I do it for all items, those I don't need I resell for profit. Its easy to do if you are not lazy.

    I think dealing with issues related to this is perhaps the biggest problem with this whole exploit issue. People are selling stuff in AH. Stuff that is of high value, and was obtained through perfectly legit means. When unlimited AD was introduced to the economy, the obvious result is that prices will escalate very fast, when this unlimited AD is used to purchase all the legit high-end gear from the AH. Obviously, at that point you could sell anything worth obtaining, for several million AD, and people with unlimited funds would buy it all the same.

    The question you then face is, what should happen to those AD? Should the people who sold the legit items for the inflated prices, be able to keep the AD? Should the transaction itself be rolled back, and items returned to original seller? What if the seller had obtained it from auction house, when the prices had not escalated quite so much yet? What will you consider the 'start' of the chain of buying and selling?

    I feel this thread should be closed it is not in any way helpful as to the time the game will be back up and there are a lot of People trolling 250 Pages of Complaining and Trolling.

    Yeah, we know we are all a bunch of self-involved arrogant d-bags who believe in social darwinism, but we don't let that get in the way of our having a good time. If you actually knew any of us personally - you'd probably wouldn't think we were total POS'es.

    Some of us that live in the the rural parts of the country tend to celebrate ignorance a little more than those that live in the more populated areas. In actuality we're a difficult bunch to generalize.

    Aliens they stole all the AD! Tin foil hats are needed in the Zen store! Or at least sell us the foil so we can make our own tin foil hats so we know they have not been tampered with, or is the tin foil laced with unknown elements!?

    ... Wish I had pcitures of the crafting interface. Make a leadership "Gather Tinfoil" and "Fold Tinfoil Hats" picture.

    I can't wait to play again but with the AH/AD issue that has been ruining the game's economy, the wait should be worth it.

    Just give us an ETA when the fix will be completed so that we will know when to log-in and play again. Open ended posts in facebook will only add up to the frustration of waiting.

    I APPRECIATE YOUR EFFORTS though! KEEP IT UP!

    How very frustrating to think I am going to lose my Celestial coins because I am unable to get into the game to invoke at least once today.

    I think your mistake is that you're using developer in the correct sense of the word, while everyone else is using it to denote the programmers at Cryptic. It's not (just) the programmers fault, it's the fault of the entire development house (or at least the part that's involved with making this).

    Its the same argument of trying to blame gun manufacturers for a suicide by gun. Just because a tool of exploitation exists doesnt mean those who allowed its creation bear sole responsibility for its exploitation.

    Do a complete wipe already...after having fixed the issue.
    Just give a little to those who were there since the beginning.

    You might also get my money as I would by packs for a well rounded game like this one where there are new content through fans and dev team alike.

    Keep up the good work.

    I dont get why everyone is so mad this game has some bugs yes and the dev team is trying to fix it, calm ur nips ppl its not there fault if anyone its the plays who stole money from NW and yes this was steeling little boys and girls who know nothing

    And as for every one who thinks this is live a present just for you
    (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hfYJsQAhl0)

    now SHUT THE **** UP AND WAIT FOR THE DEV TEAM TO FIX IT

    thank you all ppl who feel the same way i do

    I agree but they were aware of this exploit, it's been reported weeks ago. But it's always damage control they act and sell stuff as a live game promising no wipe vs being tagged as open beta because they are still bugs and exploits that have been reported a month ago that they purposely ignore to fix before releasing the game and the cash shop. Sad thing is how I can have trust in the product if they add more stuff in cash shop than bug fixed each week. It's alright to be affected by bugs, it happens. But I'm not pleased to play a great game with millions and millions of AD and Cats ccompanions hiding in thousands of mules account + all the legit gains everyone got from the devaluating AD exploits. I mean no matters how many bans they handed out AD will be worthless for several months. AD are now pesos.

    Well, you're not new enough to Internet forums to fall in with the rest of the sheeple, but you're still too new to them to realize that this is pretty much the state of darn near any thread of significant length these days. :D

    Don't you just love the nerve of leechers? They are the first ones to pontificate at the paying players for wanting their money's worth. We pay for them to have a free game & they tell us to chill out & stop QQing. Irks me to no end.

    Hmmm! Sounds a bit like America's Welfare System!

    He actually mentioned those in his post, though it might have been edited in later. Kinda pointless though as the person he was responding to claimed to have had 10 million. You only can get that much by playing the AH. And if you were its more than likely that at least some of your AD came from tainted sources.
    AH "players" would have much more than 10 million. 10 million is easily obtainable if you are running T2. Some of the gear sells for 1 mill+ easy. Factor in that they've been able to play those for over a month, and its not hard to fathom 10 million in someones pocket. an AH "player" would have probably maxed out AD by now (since 100 million honestly isn't much...)

    Good thing I decided to put off putting money into the game. Got paid and thought I might put into some Zen... Thank you for showing my that the game is not ready to be paid for.

    Don't understand why the servers need to be down all day when you can just turn off the AH and still let us play.

    Because they are mass banning people and it would be a stream of crazy on chat and histrionics and people swearing their friends didn't cheat etc.

    I wonder how many MBA types are approving the communication before they are allowed to post it...

    Probably not as many as you think.

    Well its quite obvious I did not cheat ever, I hope they do go through any logs with my name. I have never even logged into the gateway. I never broke any rules, therefore I should not be punished. Its really that simple.

    At the end of the day you get what you pay for. I said it... thats right. If i were them i would keep the servers down for the rest of the week. Fix the issue completely. Dont have to wipe anything just address the issue then bring them back up next weekend.

    I seriously doubt they want this $hit to happen again. And believe you me, there are going to be a ton of them that will try it to see if it still works.

    Because, somehow, in a game with an economy so simple, he couldn't figure out how to make AD the easy way. He is raging saying everyone who has 500k is cheating which is simply not true.
