pirate dungeon boss exploit

so like people are farming the last boss in the pirate dungeon on elite over and over to get epic drops. Its why there are some mega cheep epic swords in the aution house among other things for so cheep. Its prity major problem for the nw economy.
Basicly dont want to say excatly but you can kill the boss and then kill the boss again without restarting the dungeon over again, do it over and over to get gear. There people farming this all day right now. This really kinda sux please fix or ban these people who do it all day. There is also a part of the ship you can stand on and the mobs cannot hit you just to make it even more stupid.

    Yeah that suxx really, even if they stream it !

    i saw on a stream farm the last boss over an over and over again, and they made a huge amount of astral diamonds with this method.

    Please fix it and bann all the player they did the exploit.

    This should be easily fixable by just making the quest 'complete' after the boss is killed like in just about any of the other bosses in the game. I'm not much of a coder but I don't think it would be a huge amount of work to change. It might even be something that can be hotfixed in.

    While you're at it please make the anchor work once the event is beat so if someone died they can get back and get loot.

    While you are at it, would you look into the AH bug. specifically searching specific level numbers ie 1-10 without 15 pages of lvl 60 gear.. Its a bit overdrawn

    It really behooves y'all to have a list somewhere of all the things y'all are aware of/looking into.

    People have been exploiting this boss at least a week now. If all participants are not banned you'll at least have one less player.

    This "should" include all accounts associated with the offender's IP. Since a smart player would anticipate a ban and send all items to a different account to auction off. 20mil diamonds takes much more time than lvl 1-60.

    PvP bots are also becoming more common.

    Ive seen the same 4 bots in pvp for the last 3 days. You're time is limited. I'm not telling anyone what to do. I'm telling how it is. No legit gamer is going to play alongside unpunished cheaters and if it goes unchecked for much longer this game and esp pvp will suffer greatly.

    That's the curse of Free-To-Play mmo's, they make it easy to just make a new account and keep on going.

    Problem is the type of gear is overwritting the level range selector. So if you choose ARMS 45-50 it will just return the result of ARMS. If you do a search with the level range set and use a keyword that matches the name of the item for your class you typically just get the items you can use in that slot.

    Devs in F2P games are usually not proactive or downright lazy about the quality of their games. That's the experience I've seen in the past at least.

    A single person with a day or two of time can sift through IP logs and Ban offender's multiple accounts based on those IPs connecting to their server.

    Making new accounts really isn't the issue I have, It's cheaters getting away with cheating. All accounts current = BAN all account after = Sure.

    Seriously.. How are you going to verify that "all participants" have been banned?
