honestly dont care about CB... but will the event be closed for launch of OB? - or will players be able to cheat their way to obtaining the eye of forest rewards before enough people complain to get the event closed?

or have steps been taken to keep the event open whilst preventing bug-exploiters winning them all?

    There have been many times in which some players have repeatedly exploited the Forest Ruin event for sole purpose of obtaining the Eye for profit rather than for their character. With this possible IP ban on areas that have their own Perfect World official server, it'll eliminate some of the exploiters to this event.

    I thoroughly enjoy the Forest Ruin event, you have to be careful of how you tread through it, especially with the different types of patrol routes being taken by elite level 150 monsters with Ignore Injury. Of all of it was always the last room, there is a way to do it but you'd have to be very lucky to get it by yourself. I have seen successful runs with 2-3 people running the gauntlet through that last room. I agree that something must be done to correct this problem because the last thing we need is to see players outside of the mini-map running on the bottom layer of the dungeon and claiming the Eye shortly afterward.

    Since that event is closed until further notice on all other servers, I guess it will be off here too.

    I don't even know how to get the Eye legit-like. I would certainly try, though.

    hehe :)

    it would be nice if it could be open, and players running underneath run into newly placed wall-to-wall elite mobs that can 1-hit any player which delevel them automatically... or patrolled by GMs in 'god mode' who can PK players cheating (that'd be fun for players and GMs alike)

    mod silence to this thread i guess either means they don't know yet, or that the patch due for release the day before CB may have a fix ... *fingers crossed*

    The already commented on that int another thread, but didn't gave a definite answer, jsut something around the lines of "who knows..."
    PW has been endless frustration for me #2

    If I may, a solution to this problem would be to have a GM sit underneath the dungeon every week this event comes up. Then it'd be easy to see if someone runs past them in the bugged zone, and the event can remain open for legitimate players.

    yep - they could screenie all the cheats (for proof) and ban them at their leisure (and remove any eyes the might get) ... i have NO IDEA why cubinet didnt do this and just closed it instead...

    if the coders at PW China spawned some elite mobs down there, that would sort it out permanantly without the need for human involvement

    :D they closed it down because of you. Once you successfully finish, there no need to have the event open:D

    Because cubinet GMs are only online to tell people playing excessively is bad for their health. They don't actually want to spend an hour a week actually enforcing the rules of the game.
