Nothing to do with ShowEQ or Macroquest. The information isn't sent to the client.

Just to confirm some suspicion:

We located an issue related to some players getting spawn times of raid bosses. We have resolved it.

That's all we're disclosing.

I don't want to press the issue, but just I'd like to just clarify if I may. Was it an issue with the +/- 48 hour variance not working properly, or were players actually knowing the spawns of raid mobs ahead of time? Either way, we appreciate you looking into it.

It was working properly. They were getting the exact time a mob was due to spawn.

That's what we thought. Thank you.

Wow.

I remember when Trans used to bitch and moan that IB had some kind of packet-sniffer that had exact spawn time capabilities or some shit...

Something like that has really existed this whole time? Or were there leaks? Either way, funny DA found a way to get spawn times and then got in trouble for it.

Guess I'll just never understand.

Ban the entirety of DA. I don't think anyone would object to harsh punishments for people joining a KNOWN shitbag-cheater guild and them getting the banhammer for it. Just make sure the officers and leadership get a harsher, if not permanent ban, for knowingly acting upon stolen information.

Retroactively take their loot from previously cheated raid mobs, too. Really fuck them in the ass and prove a point to the community, IMO.

(Not telling you to do those things...I am suggesting those things if you haven't already done them.)

Well, if the spawn info is not sent to the client then someone inside the dev team had to be passing it along or they were hacked and it was stolen.

If DA was involved and privy to that information then it's kinda sad. I have a lot of friends in DA but I hope there are repercussions if so.

Harrison · #**219** 09-09-2010, 02:50 PM

It's much more likely there was a hole in the DB and they were extracting the spawn time via "hacking it".

IMO, to preserve any semblance of fairness on this server, at LEAST one person involved in the leadership of whichever guild was guilty of this should be getting permanently banned. This is straight-up cheating. Whoever called the raids (knowing the exact spawn time) needs to be punished, permanently. Also, assuming it was DA, I think we can stop hearing the thousand posts a day about IB and how they cheat. You pull shit like this, you have no ground to stand on, no matter what IB does. And I've never heard of IB doing anything as bad.
