The AH bug and MANY others were REPORTED during closed beta and went unfixed

Found on Reddit:
"1 - AH exploit - This is what all the current fuss is about. Too bad it was discovered and reported in closed beta, only to still make it in. Through this exploit one can earn unlimited AD and simply clean out the AD vendors, as well as buy up all the Zen they wanted. I knew about it and reported it on the day that I logged in. My ticket was closed and marked as resolved. Upon reading it further, I noticed that a GM told me the ticket was lost and to resubmit it. I did and kept playing. The second ticket was closed and "lost again". So I gave up reporting it.
2 - Quest sharing exploit - This allowed you to reach level 60 in about an hour of playing. It also allowed people to farm unlimited bags, assets, and materials. It was discovered and reported in closed beta, but still made it in to the open beta. Once again, I made a ticket about it only to have it closed. My follow up ticket was also closed.
3 - Foundry bugs - Were used to gain max level and farm gear. Although I knew about this bug, I did not report it because I thought the other two were more important.
4 - The CW set bonus bug allowing them to hit for millions points of damage. This was a very minor bug, but it still allowed a team of two or more CW's to farm end game content. I did not know about this bug, but plenty of people in my guild did.
5 - The GF set bug - Yet another set bug that allowed the GF to almost instantly kill any mob in the game. A lot more consistent than the CW set bug, and caused a lot of damage to the economy. I knew about this a few days into the game, but decided not to report it since my other tickets kept being closed and "lost".
6 - Chest farming exploits - These are still in the game and allow people to farm easy money, as well as gear and ingredients.
7 - There is already a bot out for Neverwinter that members of Tault Unleashed have been using. Currently it can be made to level or exploit chests. They are working on having it take care of professions and auto pray for you as well.
8 - TR DC bug - this was used mostly in PvP to instantly disconnect anyone the TR targeted with certain abilities. It allowed all TR groups to quickly win matches in the least amount of time possible.
9 - Potion exploit - Basically you can have unlimited healing potions - not much of an exploit since you can accomplish the same thing easier by using any other AD earning exploit and buying potions.
10 - AutoHotkey - Macro software that allows you to easily max your crafting.
11 - AFK PvP groups - creating a few accounts and making an AFK group (managed by AutoHotkey or the Viper bot), you can quickly earn XP and gear while you sleep.
12 - Their support site has not worked since launch. That's right, you can't even request a refund or report bugs through that thing! it gets stuck in an infinite loop after you log in to submit a ticket.
13 - Dungeon exploits - There are plenty of ways to exploit dungeons to severely shorten the time required to beat them. Reaching the end boss can be cut down from 45+ minutes, to less than 5.
14 - Boss exploits - Easily kill dungeon bosses over and over for loot and seals, then reset them and do it again.
15 - There is another armor set bug which gives everyone in the party stats that are above and beyond what you can get without cheating.
HOW does this happen?

Yes they have. Many times over. But thanks to Cryptic's damage control of deleting everything, not a lot of people actually know what is going on.
The guys that were streaming the GF Castle Never bugs said the same thing. They actually had tickets open called "I am exploiting right now", and received no response.
I also submitted a bug and have had them close it, as well as tell me the ticket has been lost.
That is exaclty the ******* point he is making, THIS IS ALL KNOWN. People have been pointing it out for a LONG TIME......
So how is it now when the shiza hits the fan, and the AH exploit goes totally public have they just decided to fix things.....
This is the HAMSTER PW needs to be accountable for. They are too busy ringing up credit cards to take care of serious issues in their code. And you know right now there are Corp executives deploying the "any publicity is good publicity" adage as we type.
If anyone thinks they are sitting their surprised this happened, you need to wake up. They are likely only surprised it did no go down faster than it did.
I don't want to hear how they had faith in their player base, and counted on the good will of man, that people wouldn't turn their very promising game into a pile of HAMSTER overnight because they are trying to cook up extra dollar's from a well ridden horse. I want to hear a plausible explanation of why they decided as a company, to let this stuff slide and then snowball into the Jupiter size cluster F*** they are now having to handle.
Looking at this from my eye's, had i decided to let this game go out the door like it is, i would have been ALL OVER people's asses to get this handled ASAP, and would have at least had a bank of propeller heads monitoring the applicable information and READY to pull the plug on the servers the very second they saw any influx of negative number auctions go up. Cause like really now..... is this not a PROFESSIONAL mmorpg and software development company? Or do the 14 games they have listed under PW management including this game not count as experience in this line of work???
This is the kind of stuff i would like to see answered. I like the game, i could really care less how exactly they handle what has recently happened as long as they take the power to f*** the game up from exploiters. This is OBVIOUSLY going to entail them now handling these problems and not looking the other way playing stupid. Cause honestly , this happening is stupid beyond a simple, whoops...... we missed that one folks, sry.... patching it up now!!! KTHNXKEEPPLAYINGOURF2PBBQ
PW doesn't owe me an explanation at all. But i sure as hell would like to see one. I have money to spend on things i like. This kind of slip up falls right under the "STUFF I REALLY DON'T LIKE" and don't spend money on list. Words to the effect of detailing the who, when, why, what, where and how, are things cash spending adults like to hear.
They probably don't care to respond. If they did they would look into the issues when they were reported for the first time.
Edit: As to tickets - they always seem to be lost. I submited 2 and same thing happened.
I suppose they don't have any GMs at all and just use ticket system as an illusion that there is some sort of ingame support.
just- ugh.
I just confirmed with my guildmate that she realized now that a week ago, she was able to repeat a quest she had completed but was shared with another guildmate. She's wondering if that could be done with the quest that gives you bag.... Since the OP here mentions it... I'm going to guess that it's true and has been going on for a very long time. WOW. This game is more broken than I thought.
which other game? sto? also a fairy tail and not true, played that one as well...
why the hell would they knowingly allow these bugs to happen and ruin their own game with it...it seems to be really hard to find common sense these days...
actually it has been, people that were using this exploit have posted in numerous threads that they had done this a few weeks back...
and you must have not seen the screenshots of that going around either of the same exact exploit...
I doubt you were in closed beta "PWE User"
Go away. No sources no proof of tickets.
Shard: Mindflayer
Characters: Grim, Rune, Holy, Ruin - If the name isn't the @FearGXxD handle, it's not me!
sounds legit to me

Actually, they didn't know. Just because it's published by PW doesn't mean all the games have the same development teams. Neverwinter is developed by Cryptic. It's called poor and corrupt service/support.
There ARE proof. Many witnesses can attest to those bugs existing since the first day of open beta until now.
sto is also developed by cryptic using the same engine as neverwinter. so obviously they never talked to sto devs about possible exploits, bugs, and problems that might happen.
I am pretty sure I remember you from CoH, you were the guy who always insisted paragon was never told about mission architect exploits and never let them go live.
Removing ability to input negative values on AH seem like a hard fix.
I only want to know if this is true !!!
So, people got billions of free ADs while I was trying to farm a couple of thousand ADs for hours !!!
And this was the case from the beginning ?
thank you cryptic and thank you perfect world... you have provided an "unique" experience.
All that is proof of, is that you can be remarkably unobservant
