No real money was spent. What do you mean by exploits, knocking mobs off ledges / skipping bosses? I ran with one of the better groups on CN real early and controlled lot of the economy. Was not hard, MMOs are easy mode and do not require much skill.
Completely agree with this. All i have been doing the last week on this game is waiting for a good CN group or DD farming. I am already completely maxed out on gear for my DC and not much else to do but sit around and wait for a good group to get more items to sell for AD.
