Is this an exploit?

So, I guess I shouldn't go into too much detail, but it's very simple. Someone said this is an exploit, I don't see it so I am asking for official clarification. So.... there's a way to access the auction from anywhere. Very easy, just a couple of button presses. Now there are actual buttons for anywhere access to the diamond vendor, invocation coin exchange, zen market, currency exchange, and Rhix so I figured this was just another easy access. The buttons for this aren't exactly labeled and direct as the others so I can see maybe it is unintentional but it would be a super easy fix, just remove that last set of buttons that grants the access. Anyway I've been doing it all the time and even mentioned it to my guildies so I need to know if it is ok or not, thanks...

    It's not an exploit mate you can buy stuff from AH from any part of the zone (Auction Gear thingy) BUT you have to go into town to pick it up via mailbox :)

    The very point that there's a clickable button by design pretty much indicates that it's not an exploit. Otherwise the button wouldn't even exist and you'd be forced to only access it by talking to the auctioneer.

    And besides, you can access the AH anytime from gateway anyway.
    Suggestion: Thank-you package to include Celestial Coin rewards
    This is an open beta. Start treating it like one.

    It's a game feature... you can shop anywhere in the game world. But like the above poster said you can only pick up your purchases in the one mail box in all of Faerun.

    It's totally ok to do what you are doing. Even if it was an exploit I wouldn't worry Craptic and PWE don't care.

    No something that easy is not an exploit, what should raise your eyebrow is things like, ok equip this, jump off this hill, get attacked by this specific mob, dont kill it, run away, stand at a campfire 3 minutes, now go 1 shot everything (I am making this up btw but its a good example if you have to jump through crazy hoops like that its probably not legit)

    Just like if a players weren't supposed to equip the Valiant set and one hit kill everything, it wouldn't be in the game, right?

    Someone needs to exploit me up a courier companion.

    In any event, what you're doing is not an exploit - and whomever told you it was should probably remove themselves from the gene pool.

    That's completely different. The AH button was intentionally put in game to be used. In your example, the Valiant set too was put in game to be used, but it's working incorrectly under certain conditions. Wearing/using the Valiant set isn't an exploit of itself, but intentionally placing yourself into a certain condition to break the mechanic is.

    Not an exploit. You can also use the web gateway to access the Auction House. The limitation is that you still must go to the postal carrier to claim anything.

    That's not an exploit. It's utilizing the surrounding environment strategically. This has been done in every MMO ever to exist.

    Just like training mobs back across traps that have been laid out, and the group decides not to disarm them so they can do it.

    If you use the surrounding environment in such a way that you can damage the mob at no risk to yourself (i.e., the mob gets stuck in the terrain or can't get to you) most mmo's consider that an exploit - I saw a comment from an admin a couple of days ago to the effect that this logic applies in NWO.

    Training things into fire or traps is perfectly legitimate.
