Preclear for Dungeon Delves IS Exploiting and should be stopped!

I want to know why you haven't taken the time to put an end to preclears for Dungeon Delves. If this is an expectable mode of gameplay then PWE should come out and state it as much so that those of us who would like to retain our accounts and not take a chance of being banned know what our options are. If it is not expectable gameplay then you should take action and fix the bugg that lets players log out and then back in to initiate the Dungeon Delves chest.
Either way your player base should be informed if this is expectable or not and also be informed of the consequences of doing so.
Personally I see it as an exploit being used for personal gain in an unintentional/unintended manner.

find some other topic to champion as a martyr
Would you be so kind as to link to your source for this statement?
EDIT: Links to the dev's posts:

And again I prefer not to play the game with exploiters/ cheaters.
Pretty simple really.
the game already have a lot of cheaters and exploiters, u need to be careful
my point exactly
Honestly, thats lame. This is an intended function? So if the even starts at 4pm I have to be on at 3pm to form a group (cuse everyone else and their grandmother is doing so) to preclear a dungeon? Then wait till event pops and relog to get the chest?? How is this an intended mechanic? Why doesn't the game just give you the chest for being IN the instance when the event starts?
Frankly that's disconcerting the devs consider this intended. It's laughable really.
Because it's totally normal in a video game to force your players to LOG OUT of the game and then back in to get a reward as an intended mechanic.
It seems to me this was NOT intended, simply a by product of poor design and they are saying it's "intended" as a easy fix.
I think its perfectly reasonable and a pretty good mechanic, albeit one that's not clear to new players.
or you and your group can play the game as it was intended to be played. If you are on Mindflayer I would join you
You can do it normally. No problem at all cause NOT everyone does this. And the 'preclear team' still do the delves for 2nd/3rd time during event.
This, exactly.
It's painfully obvious this wasn't intended, no matter what a dev says (not as if devs don't make mistakes).
The DD reward isn't 'little'. It's arguably the only event truly worth doing. Things are a bit skewed now though because of the large amount of epics that made it into the game due to exploits.
Or more likely we're seeing the effects of a project still under development and what's supposed to happen is that if you're in a dungeon when DD starts it automatically switches modes without having to relog. This means that relogging is simply a work around for a problem that may/should no longer be needed at some point.
It really should be fixed at some point along with the other hundreds of things that need fixing:rolleyes:.
No, because the event description explicitly states otherwise.
Oh noes!
/10 char
forcing your customers to log out and back in is "perfectly reasonable". Okay.
^^^
Exactly
No it doesn't and we have direct public statements from the development team saying that the text is confusing (and it can be read the way you suggest), but not accurate.
No, the text is perfectly clear.
Of course.
