Economy About to Take Another Hit

Just learned that for the past few days people have been using a new exploit to farm T2 bosses and delves that puts the Pirate King farm to shame. They have been stockpiling the loot from it in their mail/overflow bags waiting for the AH to come back up to <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> on the economy once again.
I have already reported it in-game a minute ago, might be a good idea for NWE to ban these people before bringing back up the AH and prevent further damage to the economy.

Not like those T2 armour wasn't already dirt cheap..
This is an open beta. Start treating it like one.
I don't want to get the thread deleted by describing the exploit, all I'm going to say it that it's worse than the GF/PK farm together. People are clearing T2 delves so quickly that basically the limiting factor is how fast you can reset and re-form the group.
Needless to say NWE needs to hold back the AH and take care of this before even thinking of bringing it back, or **** is really going to hit the fan.
Not even close, but yeah, infinite stamina has been around for a week or two now. Doesn't have much of an impact in the economy though.
This has been around long enough already that they can't do much with the amount of supply people are hoarding, waiting. Basically they can't keep up.
This is an open beta. Start treating it like one.
What I'm talking about has nothing to do with GF's infinite damage bug or infinite stamina.
Basically any class can replicate the exploit I'm referring to, which is why I hope PWE realizes of its magnitude and bans/fixes things before re-opening the AH.
Take a look at Reckless Attacker. Then realize that the guard/stamina is set on Client Side . Add the two together.
You don't need to suspect anything, it's right there on Google.
Well, that's my suspicion. Of course, I wouldn't know for sure since I'm not actually using it, but I have already PMed a forum mod of my suspicion.

Well, it's always good to stay aware of what's going on in terms of exploits even if you don't intend to use it ... for educational purposes.
Again this has nothing to do with it. Also guard doesn't work the same way stamina does (i.e. no infinite guard).
I have already reported the bug, but for the sake of saving the game's economy if the GMs still don't know about it send me a message and I'll describe so it can be fixed before it's too late.
No, there is infinite guard or I am pretty sure there is because the person who runs a certain blog said so. And why would I believe that person? Well, why don't you do a bit of Googling? Needless to say, a person can currently solo Castle Never in apparently 10 minutes.
Also, there's a non-negligible possibility that there's simply more than one exploit at work here. We might both be right.

Yep, quite. It will make it quite cheap for anyone sitting on a pile of zen to load up on T2. Of course, the people with the most ready zen supply will be exploiters who don't need it anyway, as they have been exploit farming dungeons too. However, it will make it a bit cheaper for the small cadre of players with legitimately-gained zen too, after it hits 500 ad again also.
That doesn't mean that it doesn't hurt the economy, in any sane universe. However, it's just so completely pathological that it doesn't screw it up more right now.
NW has become all metagame now, in some ways.
Uh, no. It destroys a source of profit (T2 grinding for AD), since there will be so much T2 gear that prices will go down. Someone will have the brilliant idea of selling it super low, he'll sell lots and other vendors will notice that no one is willing to pay 100 k for a piece anymore. So prices drop.
In the end, everyone will have a Tier 2 set.

In the real world, if more money is printed, inflation happens. If a ton more money is printed (as happened with the AD exploit) then hyper-inflation happens and the economy crashes.
If more cars are made, car prices go down. If a ton more cars are made, car prices go down even more. The economy is not harmed, other than for car manufacturers. Same with t2 gear. It only harms those who farm the gear, for them to increase the supply of said gear.
Can there be any doubt now that Neverwinter has got to be the most exploited mmo launch (or beta test) of all time? Seriously every other day there is a brand new exploit hot off the press.
Such a shame, the game itself is great fun. I just can't will myself to devote actual play time to a game that gives absolutely no way for a legit player to ever touch the levels of the exploiters. Nor can I deal with having my progress wiped though no fault of the devs I might add. No, I don't blame Cryptic I seriously blame the players.
Yes, I'm aware that for some people this will look as a very sour consequence, though most prices for top-rate gear are prohibitve, you must admit that. I've seen a GF shield that's usually bid for a million. That's about 30 euros.
