  • Again, others have said in this thread, it is not difficult to search log files, and the amount of individual attention they'd have to pay is small in this case because a very small number of people knew about it before the rollback time. I mean in this case I feel like you are just defending a position because you are one…
  • They can delete it because it's their game, and is very tenuously tied to real world currency through zen. It's not like they're taking Euros or something from you. I personally lost a very lucky Heavy Inferno Nightmare from a lockbox, but I am sure that they will give it back, along with anyone else who had huge…
  • People just like to freak out. That's why every time this happens, a few other people along with you and I are the only ones who seem to post on forums that aren't seemingly addicted to rage and fear or something. I think it's kind of odd. And that's exactly what it boils down to. People have a tendency to think that…
  • No, it's not, because in America, the problem is that there isn't a log of all of these things. It isn't naive to believe that Cryptic is capable of fixing pretty much everything -- in fact, it's a fact! It's a matter of work for them and I'm sure some will make it through, but the obvious nature of the exploit in their…
  • That guy? You mean the guy that doesn't like it when everyone is hysterical over what is going to be essentially rendered nothing because log files exist and the exploit involves extremely strange AH behavior? I'm that guy too. You're that guy telling people they're that guy for telling people to calm down.
  • Sure, maybe the game doesn't have a ton of content yet as it is rather new, and you have to pay a small amount of money to enjoy it, much like subscription-based MMOs. I never understand why people always seem to think that cash shop MMO = completely free MMO to enjoy completely for no money. There's no such thing as a…
  • And the reason that this situation will end quite unlike how it did in the real world in the US economy is that unlike banksters, exploiters hurt the bottom line of Cryptic. Incentives align better.
  • No need for that. They'll just lose their things, and so will anyone they gave things to. Simple as that. These types of things are logged -- I think everyone is just freaking out so much because Blizzard was lazy with this when it happened with D3. Cryptic really doesn't seem the same to me.
  • I think they probably are going to do something like that and then deal with changing currencies/things they bought/etc. manually on players they find, and I believe they will probably in fact find everyone, because they certainly can with the amount of logs that they probably have expressly for purposes like these, and…
  • I believe that Cryptic has log files the size of Antarctica, if Antarctica was a log file. I think that prevents any need for a wipe. It may take some time and there may be snowballed ill-gotten gains to deal with, but I'm QUITE confident that all of these hundreds of millions of AD can and will be tracked down. Man, I…
  • Uh, if you don't give back our legitimately acquired Heavy Inferno Nightmares (cause I know I'm not the only one!), we may in fact form a gang, march into your office and kill all of you. That is all. I got really lucky and I never get really lucky in games and if you take that away from me... :(
  • UH, I actually did get a Heavy Inferno Nightmare from a box during the rollback period. You had darned well better have a plan for that, haha. I trust you because I feel like you are dealing with this well thus far, but if I don't get something for that I'm going to be PISSED. And I bought my zen with money!!!! :( My…
