Is cheating going to be allowed in PoE2 as well?

MB is a worse problem we gonna fix that cheating too?

/s but not really ^^

This item and variations are known for years and are close to one of a kind, an anomaly. If GGG didn't bother running a database query yet you might aswell take the hint and realize that some item in Standard (lol) is largely irrelevant.

What this has to do with cheating however is beyond me.

Why do these still exist?

They don't. Gear in standard HAS been deleted from leagues.

They exist because they couldn't care less about the balance of Standard.

You're also confusing bugs with cheats. That chest was bugged, not "cheated" into "existence". The item was legitimately obtained as with many other bugged items. Now if you want to delete all bugged items, instead of cherry picking something that doesn't affect you as with literally all other bugged items, good luck getting support on that.

because no one cares about standard and neither should you

It truly is, along with HH. GGG opened pandora's box when they released HH and they should have removed it right after the league. I would say the game would probably be in a much better overal state if they had. MB has caused similar design issues since its release.

Chase uniques should be powerful...but not to the tune of almost entirely invalidating a full character worth of gear or MORE. At the very least, HH and MB should have NO additional stats on them beyond their special characteristics...and they should drop corrupted.

A bugged armor that only lives in standard has done far less damage to the overall game.

He is not upset about the Standard but about posibility to cheat. About the exploits and uncapped mechanics. It has nothing to the Standard.

except his example of cheating is just showing old standard items (not a cheat)

I could almost say, with absolute certainty, that bugs will exist in poe2.
Because bugs exist in every game that has and ever will exist.
Each league will likely have a few bugs, for the rest of path of exiles existance.
The big ones are always observed and always known among the players, for better or for worse, they will always be exploited.
And there is no company, this issue isn't even exclusive to gaming software.
Every IT software has bugs, unforeseen consequences.
GGG do their best to fix them, where they can, like the 6 socket one-handers.
But you can never completely eliminate them, as a constant reminder of things that have happened in the past.

Also, specifically in regards to that armour, whilst it's broken and giving players in standard who do choose to use it a huge advantage.
It's not like thousands of players are running around with it, at a guess i'd say 4, maybe 5.
I'd prefer if resources are spent developing the next league and poe2 than remediating some chest piece that has now iconic stature in path of exiles legacy, a time when C++ randomly decided to exceed the bound limitations of fire resistance rolls and produce this random number.

/s Good job RNG, working as intended.

Ever hear the saying "Sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic"?

In PoE this would be: "Sufficiently advanced players and farming strategies is indistinguishable from cheating" to those with severe FOMO.

It is not cheating to use the developer's own oversights against them. If it raises to the level of a problem, then GGG will patch it out of the game. They do this all the time.

Other players getting to experience imbalance before or instead of you is not cheating: it is a sign that those players are likely more experienced, more creative, or simply smarter or better at the game. It takes real ingenuity to find some of these oversights such as the div card scrying strategy that was changed, or the div card scarab interactions. Harkens back to the days of ghost vacuuming....clearly it was absurd, but to be the one to actually think to do that? That is peak PoE gaming, NOT cheating.

if GGG cared about standard this game would die let people enjoy the cheaty stuff on standard it doesnt affect you in any way
