A Message for Cryptic and a story for all.

Early Sunday a recently ill lucked person reached level 60 and decided to bomb out dungeons with his amazing guild "Dedicated Rejects", after all this that person went for a nice sleep to relax after today's achievements earned. LITTLE did he know of the upcoming <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> ready to ruin the game experience.
In the afternoon the person awoke to find the server "dragon" in a dissaray and finding the server FULL of "cat" pet spam.. this was an unusual thing to find in such a playful mmo, but alas he carried on to farm some dungeons with his amazing guild. He then earned 2, yes count them, TWO tier 2 items from the pirate map.. he was ****ing ecstatic has he had been the moment he hit level 60. so he goes to the auction house to try to sell some old epic junk he had found along the way and to his surprise the auction house was down... how? he had no idea of the glitch that had ruined the server economy... so he uses his brain and heads to the forums and scouts for a reason for his problems and he finds the reason, exploiters... the bane of any game and the reason we cant have a free world.
He quickly reopened his Neverwinter to find the maintenance has come, so the brave adventurer goes to the "Neverwinter" Facebook channel and reads every forum post about whats happening and he sees what Cryptic are doing about the problem and their hard thought out decision to roll back the servers and this brave soul sits at his computer and claps his hands, claps his hands to a very VERY good decision and a brilliant community support that worked through the day and night to reach the point to which they decided to end this problem.
How do I know that person clapped? because I am that person
I am a loyal gamer and I am a hard working gamer and anyone who is as hard working as me WONT CARE that you lost 7 hours game time... I lost everything from the moment I hit 60 and I don't mind I lost that, because I trust the decision of Cryptic and the actions yet to face the servers.
Moral of the story is to never lose faith in a game even when its down for 10 hours for maintenance.

This is all that I could think of about your story.
Moral of the story is bad companies deserve to lose business when they make COLOSSAL mistakes.
Sad.
But true.
reading sites where people talk about having done this since the start, and not being banned yet. Now I could wake up tomorrow and every single exploiter and alt account could be removed from the game, but that still dosent make me want to continue to play this game, and many others feel the same. This level of mistake you don't get to say "sorry" and move on as if nothing happened.
They have spent their entire sunday trying to please the majority of players here... so I will accept their apology for the web designer of the gateway who forgot to add the nosymbol line of coding to the site, all this is because of a simple learner mistake of a web designer so it should be sweeped under the rug and forgot. what do you get from being a whiny ***** and complaining? I get on with life and the game and I have fun. you just moan.
What if I told you this nosymbol line of coding was ALSO left out of the last game they made, star trek online. Would it be as acceptable to you then? That's how people knew to try it from day one, because this is not their first amateur rodeo hour.
I look forward to seeing you ingame shortly
made me hard LOL!

So now you know.
Again... Cryptic is the company who designed/created the game concept. Perfect World owns and operates the game. Cryptic is not doing jack in regard to this event except consulting with PWE devs maybe. PWE makes all the decisions on the game operation.
i have no hard feelings about the rollback, it should happen if not on sunday then another day.
When people started posting gear with millions of AD earlier this week u could see something was off.
Its not like everyone became a hero of the north and had 2mil AD to spend.
But this is not a frontend issue from the gateway. There should be validation on the service connecting the backend.
A frontend should simply just relay the service message back to the user. It would be very bad architecture if they connected the frontend straight into the game databases, sql injections would not be far away if they didnt.
A quicknote, the same bug was exploited on startrek online also trough the (sto) gateway.
I noticed the same negative auctions in that game recently. Zen and AD are not part of that AH, but the 3th currency gold (EC) has been affected. As of tommorow is the big romulan sto expansion coming out, curious what they will do, considering this (major) issue.
