General Discussion - Banning people for exploits - Forum

" iParadoxG wrote: " xaerobb wrote: Why punish anyone? This is a game not a criminal case.

OK, and "at the end of the day" after 3.24.2 Hotfix 5, what did GGG do? It is no longer possible to craft items, but they still exist and can be traded right now. How many players who bought those items will be cheated by this? Is it their fault that they bought something? Is this responsible game owner ?

How many players who bought those items will be cheated by this? Is it their fault that they bought something? Is this responsible game owner ? yes, it's the player's responsibility then. In the patch, they clearly stated that this is a bug. Meaning, the items that came out of the process are now game-illegal. they also mentioned that they are working on a way to correct this. It's a joke that people are still selling it and even more laughable that people are spending currency buying it. Tell you what, people are now going to lengths to preserve these precious game-breaking items by gift wrapping them to prevent them from going poof(or to normal) while they do DB sweep and wipe. LOL. pathetic. Yes, this league has been a roller coaster of bugs and bug fixes, but again "at the end of the day", it's partly on the users before buying to suspect if something came out of an illegal process. it's not that hard, eg. items having the "Have 1 socket" mod to have 4 sockets or items having the "have no sockets" mod to have 6 sockets. easy peezy. just don't use/buy them. player agency, where? "do you guys not have phones?" - blizz 2018 "do you guys not have 2 monitors, 3 overlays, 4 discord, 5 websites, 6 loot filters?" - ggg or smth 2024 "deal with it" - ggg, 2024	Posted by iParadoxG on May 4, 2024, 4:37:35 PM Quote this Post

You know, that thing you never read. " Jadian wrote: " Aynix wrote: Breach of ToS is breach of ToS. It DOES NOT matter whether your breach of ToS affected others, affected economy etc. Punishment needs to be the same for all cases. The ToS is also the basis for giving chat bans. They may refer players to the Code of Conduct, but that itself says to see the ToS for more information. Should GGG just get rid of chat bans entirely, and skip straight to banning accounts outright for "breach of ToS"? Yes.

" iParadoxG wrote: yes, it's the player's responsibility then..... On the other hand, people on this forum rightly give examples of bugged items in standard, which are legally used, sold or used for mirror services (with mirror fee) and none of them have been banned. Punishing anyone now would be a selective approach by the GGG.	Posted by xaerobb on May 4, 2024, 4:57:43 PM Quote this Post

I don't mean to, but yes, I see your point. (I am a kinda filthy casual who believes mirror of k shouldn't exist, mirror fee is stupid, even mirror is stupid, having a currency with no downside? reeks of ar em tee to me, can't think of any other reason why mirror should stay, but that's whole another argument) it's just getting pointless to play this game even, after these ridiculous items, I just hope GGG sets things right in a way that pleases them. I am already on the verge of burnout too. So again, I really don't care. player agency, where?

But people on this forum are citing examples of the TOS being selectively enforced for a reason, that shouldn't be happening. There's no need to advise me, you've certainly strayed from the topic of this post "Banning people for exploits". https://ibb.co/N7jdk8k Last edited by xaerobb on May 5, 2024, 4:16:36 AM	Posted by xaerobb on May 4, 2024, 5:38:10 PM Quote this Post
People who are defending the items/exploits are dirty cheaters/exploiters/rmters themselves. Plain and simple	Posted by kyobusa on May 4, 2024, 6:46:25 PM Quote this Post
Honestly, if you need a 6-link Squire to play the game that's telling a whooooole story. And if you defend the idea of these items existing that cannot be naturally acquired without exploits, you are no friend of mine. I sincerely hope GGG takes a hard stance on this and hands out a collective spanking for all the exploiters.

GGG won't ban the elites and market setters. The whole game revolves around them. Pour one out for my Syndicate homies. Complex PoE mechanics are getting Diablofied. GGG: What's better than stable income? Random income of course.	Posted by zakalwe55 on May 4, 2024, 7:45:42 PM Quote this Post
