So someone mentioned negative prices in the AH...I wondered why there were negative numbers......As a matter of frankly speaking I have seen those negative numbers since day 1 of playing and I have been playing since before launch with the several day head start....
I am a mad crafter and am on the Ah more then in adventures it seems.....I guess i am lucky I did not have thw wits to try and buy a negative item or I would be banned too:P
No idea what the exploit was anyways ....
From what ive gathered (I could be wrong). the exploiters would go to the Gateway site, and be able to bid negative. that in turn refunded them the amount that they bid
So say something was up for 100AD. they would bid -10000000 and end up with 10000100.
weird i know lol. Sadly though its gone on since day 1 of open beta, and this roolback didnt go nearly far enough back from when it was made public.
i'm really really disappointed so far in this thread. Two questions, ones that aren't even that needing of an answer immediately, were answered. And that's it so far. The really pertinent, important, big questions are just being ignored. Why.
Probably because their efforts are going into fixing things.

this seems like a pretty extreme situation to deal with. Thanks for your hard work

I'm sad because of all the progression I made with my TR and it seems to be lost, but I fully appreciate your efforts in not giving into the panic of the masses and giving us a chance to keep our characters, Cryptic. You have my thanks.
Hopefully this exploit issue has made most of the griefers arise to the public eye and most are permabanned now.
Characters: - Titania Silverblade, the Iron Rose of Myth Drannor (Lvl 60 GWF, Destroyer) - Gwyneth, the Cowardly Cat Burglar Drowling (Lvl 60 TR, Saboteur) - Lady Rowanne Firehair, Heartwarder of Sune (Lvl 33 DC) - Satella, Sensate (LvL 44 CW, Renegade, Non-Active)
can we have a new server that wasnt affected by the exploit?
i dont care at all if it means re-rolling. leveling isnt that hard. judging by the number of people posting about wanting a wipe i think it's safe to say a lot of others wont mind re-rolling either.
CAN WE HAVE A NEW SERVER PLEASE?
I'd like a whipe, and all my money back. And then when its safe to spend my money, without it being turned into some horrifically inflated failed African State currency, then I can choose to spend it. Had I known about this exploit (I wasn't in closed beta, and would've never guess in my wildest nightmares that stuff like this was even possible) I would have waited.
I STILL WANT TO GIVE YOU MY MONEY, but I would not like to give it to you for nothing, nor to pay to have fools run the economies of the shards for the next while, since they dictate where the money goes, since they control the majority stake.
Our hope is that the majority of currency that was gained illegitimately was removed from the game.
So... are you going to investigate further into people having abused this bug prior to 5am today? Because I'm hearing a lot of people freely admitting that they were doing this since day 1. You might wanna check on that instead of just "hoping" the problem is solved.

It's too bad more people aren't concerned about what is best for the community and game as a whole instead of just themselves. It's amazing how petty people can be with such trivial things. I don't care what you've done or achieved or lost in a few hours. This generation and it's sense of entitlement is nauseating. "I want a prize, I want my helmet back, I want, I want, I want..."
Your time isn't less important than anyone else's and you deserve no special compensation for game issues during a BETA. The gift is pandering and I think it's a mistake by PW. Buying items during BETA should be done with even more caution because of this, not used an excuse for special consideration. They owe none of us anything as individuals (having willingly and knowingly accepted the terms and conditions of BETA), they owe it to the game to be fair and thorough.

What about the fact that this bug abuse was going on a much longer time, if only used by very few before yesterday? Were those guys tracked down and their doings reverted individually?
Agree, this bug has been reportedly known for a while, just rolling back to before it got abused badly (instead of mildly) seems a bit weak. Just wipe the servers, return everyone's Zen and founders packs and call it a beta test major error.
Our hope is that the majority of currency that was gained illegitimately was removed from the game.
Your "hope"? Your "hope"??? Is that how you put it, is that the output of spending all day and night trying to come up with wording that would spin it properly, is that how you intend to rebuild confidence? Your "hope"??? For God's sake, next time hire a PR agency to help you understand damage control. This post is so embarrassing it's making me hide the monitor so no one sees that I'm playing a game being run by kids.

Does this mean I won't be able to buy gear??? I hit level 51 yesterday on my CW and I'm still wearing 44-47ish gear =( I was hoping to buy new gear since the gear vendors don't seem to have anything around my level =( which I'm a little irritated at since lvl 50 is a milestone.
Lol at the fools that think an IP ban will do much vs exploiters. With the current going rate of around 15 bucks for one million AD, exploiters will come back to continue profiting from this trash game.
Well, this game is already dead.
A rollback only 1 day is not long enough, people were exploiting this bug days before and even transfered some AD to new accounts, so you might miss some, if you try to ban them. So some people are the richest players by exploiting, while people spend real money to reach this point. Its time to quit this game now or maybe start on a new server later on.

i just hope they are smart enough to make sure they roll back the mail, the amount of times you see stuff get rolled back and stuff in the mail remains waiting to be collected after the roll back.
What happens to ardent/celestial coins, i didnt get mine earlier today. Will the counter be reset and i have to start from 1 again ???? I was on the 6th coin on one character 5 on another.
i am SO sick of gold sellers we need to band together to fight them!
This might make a good foundry mission.

There's only one way for me to speak about all these situation, these game got a pretty nice dev team (because of the specifically solution that they made, with a little bit lost, but everything else pretty sure). And i really appreciate the comunication with the players/community, not all MMO's show this kind of appreciation with the players, specially if it's they're not paid, and in an open beta.
okay, wow, i bought zen at 5:22 AM, u better be **** right about me getting the zen back.
finished a new set - enchanted it with AH shards that i combined using the wards, finishing up my full armor for PVP en gained 2000 GS to move on to more epic dungeons, if this is all turned back cuz PWE forgot to read the bug reports - gg
