Have I recently told you to post in the petitions/exploits forum?

[Amelinda]

DO NOT POST WHAT THIS IS REGARDING. IT COVERS SEVERAL THINGS. YES IT'S INTENTIONALLY VAGUE BUT I BET IF IT PERTAINS TO YOU...YOU'LL KNOW.

If you have questions about it please send me a tell in game or PM me. don't be the guy who posts what this is about in public please.

If you had a significant problem and i told you to petition on the message boards in a few weeks when things settled down then i need you to get in touch with me. PM me or post in the petition forum. i don't care which.

If you think this might pertain to you please check :)

:D

good luck getting these dregs to actually participate in the improvement of the server.

it's a known fact that they will refuse to make any logical arguments and/or post them in the right forum.

if they can't complain and openly flame about the status of the server or the staff, they'll quickly lose interest and stop playing.

[Amelinda]

Reiker - i love Secrets. She is an amazing person and I hear she's a pretty terrific pvpr!

and Samoht - they are quite welcome to flame me and bitch about me. :) i am far more helpful than several would have you believe though.....about the only thing they have on me is 'that bitch changed my name'

The frustration and the lack of willingness to comply with dev requests pretty much directly comes from the fact that these exploits are being fixed but nobody is being punished. The people who farmed cedar wands or instant respawning quest NPCs to level to their mid-upper 30's are still running around without consequence. Removing the items without punishing anyone is just pissing everyone off that they won't get a chance to benefit from the exploits and it looks a lot like unfair treatment.

There was a thread posted a while ago by an impotent troll calling for a wipe, and the number of people who were in favor of a wipe significantly outnumbered those who weren't. Why do you suppose that is? Exploiting obviously, but it's not the exploits themselves, it's the way they're being handled.

Ironic post at its best.

I'm pretty sure the wand thing wasn't an exploit. It was just a plain old nerf, like Ivandyr's Hoop.

If people want to wipe the server and waste days of playtime for hundreds of people just because like half a dozen players benefitted from questionable features, they're retards. You're only getting more "wipe plz" sentiments because retards gravitate towards the forum and angry people are more vocal. There's 500 players who would hate a wipe, they're just not spamming the forums about it because they don't care about something so utterly inconsequential as someone gaining five or ten levels in a way that may or may not have been completely legit. By Christmas, none of that will matter as every dedicated player will be approaching 50.

It was an exploit.

That drop was very rare on live, afaik she's dropping them practically every time here. 12 hours of farming her should give you a wand or two at most, people were getting bags of them here. Making the item unsellable is not classic, these wands are still sellable on live.

I think it's more accurate to say that the forum is a microcosm of the playerbase, especially when it comes to the red population. If the overall tone of the red forum leans toward the retarded it's because the overall population is also retarded. The normal server chat does not have the same tone of douchebaggery you find here, indeed most of the time the few douchebag comments there are from people who are regulars here.

What are you gonna do, ban/delevel a player because they looted something that was too common? The feature was reported by the same person who utilized it, and it was fixed like the same day. Countless things have been incorrect at various times throughout p99, and you'll only get punished if you abuse an actual bug with hugely negative consequences - shit like duping, for instance; not being the person who killed a mob whose drop was too common.

People that were there, and farming the mob for hours to collect a supply of these wands knew EXACTLY what they were doing. Were you doing it too?

we need a mass ban or 2 for something or other

Of course this is what it's about. You're posting this thread because you want people to discreetly inform you of exploits so you can fix them privately. People aren't complying, rather they are posting public exploit threads, yes? I can tell you that every cause has an effect: people are posting those threads for a reason. They don't trust the administration to maintain a fair and level playing field so they are doing the only thing they can which is try to publicly shame people for abusing these exploits.

Anyway, lol harder, that will almost surely inspire confidence.

no i'm not. nice try though.

The wand is the same as using Ivandyr's Hoop.

Triggers to spawn an NPC for a quest is classic.

No, I'm a level 23 rogue. I'm one of the ones who are gonna get raped the hardest by these higher-level easymode caster poopsockers. I still don't see how it's such an enormous deal. Prefer that they hadn't been able to? Sure. Gonna destroy the server? Of course not.

[purest]

need some mass bannings throw the book at exploiters or no real incentive to report shit when u know u can just ride it out and get off scott free
