Well, if they won't wipe or take any radical steps to erase items gained through exploiting through the course of these weeks (don't know how they could do it in hours without a wipe, but they probably can't), I'll consider looking after a new game to play with less bugs and actually competent developers. It was cool while it lasted, I played completely legit, as I always avoid cheating from miles away, but please learn to program and to find/fix bugs. Or maybe it is too late...

Wipe everything, remove astral diamonds from the game, tune down alot the gold drop in-game, make zen purchasable with in-game gold. Done, no more problems.
Full item WIPE, leave the Characters, i dont wanna level up all over again.

If they wipe, my husband who just bought his bear mount is gonna go ballistic. I'm not too keen on losing the items I bought with zen either. And for people who've hit 60 having to start over?!?
A wipe is going to make more people angry than happy.
And by the way, don't be fooled. "Open Beta" = the game is live and can take money on the zen market but still can still technically used the "we're just beta" tag to have bugs and unexpected downtime that no one being can complain about it.
I don't mean to knock the game. I absolutely love this game. I've played nearly 2 dozen MMO's in the last 14 years and for me this is the best game out of all of them. I'm just being realistic

The only way to fix the game is to do a full wipe.
Fix these exploits COMPLETELY then wipe.
The fact that these went on for so long is absolutely absurd. Not just from a gaming stand-point, but from a business stand-point as well. You are providing a service to us, the consumer. And to be quite frank, you've done a ****ty job so far. This 'open beta' has been absolutely atrocious to say the least. Not only has the game been completely ruined by numerous exploits, but it has given made the entire founder package idea useless.
In a normal beta, a company would wipe. This would fix the infinitely expanding list of things that have gone wrong in the game, but since you have essentially released your product by saying 'LOL nope not gonna wipe,' you are handing your consumers a horror of a product.
To not completely wipe the game would be to **** on the game's community, as well as burn your entire profit margin.
Good one. a Logical solution for a illogical problem? Seriously? Ban ALL accounts that have cheated? well, there goes like1/4 to 1/2 game population down drain. Usually games that want to succeed want to keep players, good or bad, depending how bad lmao. Not lose players. Plus those that "cheated" bad-mouth game to friends in gaming community and reviewers and less people show interest, because we know cheaters don't tell the truth, everything will be cryptic this and cryptic that don't play Neverwinter:Online bro, cryptic cheated me waaahhhh! Like I said b4 long as I can keep my item mall <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> I payed for, my zen I payed for and astral crystals which essentially I paid for with zen, then I say wipe. Cheaters, hackers, exploiters deserve it.

If they wipe, yes, people will be angry they have to level all over again, but they will still have the majority of their customers.
If they do not, they will lose a metric ton of customers
The marginal benefit of a wipe exceeds the marginal cost.

Yes, yes. The majority of the people on the forum right now still want a wipe. I think statistically 60% is more than enough, when we are talking about 1600 players of a game with a player base that can't really be more than 6000 at this moment(this is not a fact, but a rough guess). I would be even happier if they took their time to fix all the bugs currently in the game and put the servers up again after it's all done and actually ready to start over. I don't want any ill gotten <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> in my game, or I don't want to be here anymore, or spend more money to buy zen(I've already spent as much money as I would if I bought a good, ready to play game, and that is enough for me to be upset about incompetent developers).

I really don't want to re level my character, pet and professions again. I would likely just go back to WOW. It is a fun game, but I cant imagine losing everything I have just to start over again. Give me a bag a items that I can use to do dungeons, let me keep my pets and profession level, which has taken forever to get to where it is now, which is still low. Cap Astral Diamonds at like 1,00,000. I play these games for fun, but honestly with Skyrim online coming, I would not screw people that have honestly invested time into the game. I would like just wait for Skyrim to come out then do all this over a gain. But if I have an investment in the game, I would likely stick with it.

if those people haven't spent any money and got the stuff and diamonds thorugh free play, I guarantee their loss isn't important compared to chargebacks and players who will no longer invest in the game.
I don't care about your husband's bear. I care about the money i blew while others gained 100 times more than i did without spending a dime. that's all I care about. I hope you get ninjad to hell for your casual lazy stupidity.
So farewell hope, and with hope farewell fear,
Farewell remorse; all good to me is lost.
Evil, be thou my good.

I support a full wipe with all ZEN refunded to players who spent it, and a restoration of the Founder's Packs rewards to those who bought them on a totally new set of shards when the game is officially "launching" after fixing all of the exploits that ruined the Open Beta. Give a gift pack to everyone, even free players as an apology. Nerf Foundry and PVP XP. Permabans for anyone who exploited.
I've sunk a lot of time into this game, but I won't stick around if they allow things to continue. Especially when real money is involved and people are being ripped off by exploiters.
a "friend" told me he used the ah exploit with the gateway since he know of it... was over a weak ago. so.... a simply "rollback" of 1-2 days wont fix it all.
its only PUPLIC since 2 days
but was used many days longer...
This^ ___Make it rain! bring the floods Old Testament style, and then promise never again

I think one problem here may be that a lot of people don't understand what BETA means in gaming. Allow me to enlighten those that don't: Beta is usually a trial version of a game for a company. Betas are usually experimental and often have problems w/ them, Players can play game while In this state to assist game company in finding and fixing bugs and potential exploits as well as give suggestions for implementation of possible game ideas for when game actually goes live. So suck it up, a wipe is totally within reason in this case, all exploiters need to stop whining.:eek:
-Ban
-delete all, complete wipe
-delete or zen or ad
-refound zen (or zen changed in ad)
-improve security
-start official game, with a good patch (new race and new class)

Furthermore, I am a traditionalist. their should always be a pathway to accomplishing the same goal without having to buy ZEN. Having to buy Zen to respec is dumb. Having to buy Zen to get crafting materials is dumb. People that like grinding it out and doing it themselves should not be forced to s spend real money to do certain things that would normally be the normal course of playing the game. Charge a monthly fee I say and let me grind it out.

As a purchaser of both the Founder pack and considerable amounts of Zen, this is my opinion:
1. Wipe. No if, and, or but.
2. Using PWE purchase records, return all Zen purchased through the site (not in the game) to accounts.
3. Permanently ban the identified accounts.
4. Track closely for game mail between accounts where large amounts of expensive items are being trafficked. Flag and monitor them.
5. Consider tracking as well for accounts where multiple IP addresses are being used, particularly those that can be identified as using a private VPN service for access.

Obviously off topic, but I'll reply.
You don't have to pay real money for anything. You can make AD in the game and trade it for Zen to respec etc.
If a wipe means I lose my founder stuff, zen I payed for and item mall items I payed for HELL NO to wipe. UNLESS of course my account is reimbursed or cryptic gives me a total refund of item mall items I purchased and zen bought. If that stuff is not lost during a wipe or cryptic is willing to be fair if it is and reimburse players, I say DOOO EEETTT!!

this guy is an obvious troll, I wouldn't be surprised if he has amule account or 2 with some stuff stashed up like a nice little piggy bank too from using exploits in previous weeks more discreetly than the dbags who blew it up this weekend.
"but honestly with Skyrim online coming"
"I would like just wait for Skyrim to come out then do all this over a gain"
Skyrim has been out for a year and a half, and it's the elder scrolls online, not skyrim online, obviously. either handicapped or being a cute little troll 'cleverly' rubbing our desire for a wipe in our faces.
So farewell hope, and with hope farewell fear,

I love watching idiots whine and complain about others complaing. The fact is they can't wipe, they have taken money and in a sense you have leased that property. They can't take that away period. Otherwise they will have lawsuits out the ying yang.
Beside wiping won't fix the actual **** problem lol. There are lots of exploits. It will take another month to fix them all. Until then this is what we will have to deal with as they fix the problems. Deal with it... Their logs tell them everything, not all of us should have to suffer because lazy skillless people who have to cheat or exploit in order to gain.
they should have never made astral diamonds tradable. if they can change the auction house currency from AD to Gold, and add more way to get gold there will be less economic problems in the future.

good luck exchanging at a reasonable rate for quite a while with much of that ad sitting on alternate accounts waiting to be pulled out once the dust has settled over this and other exploits.

Just make a new shard and copy characters there NAKED (no items, no currency), offer refunds for Zen buyers at that server. Merge the 'old' (exploited) servers and they will die alone or economy may stabilize after some time.
