they were exploiting it, not telling them about it to get it fixed
guy finds the sploit, tests it, writes a report, gets banned anyway

tests it,
that's his problem.

You coincidentally discovered the negative AD exploit on the gateway website by mistake. You decided to put a negative bid on an item without a buyout the same day everyone was exploiting it for profit. You found a bug that has been in the game since closed beta, at approximately the same time all 3 servers were rampant with people exploiting it. The same time the method went public. Your next thought was to do it a few more times.
Yeah, that sounds legit.
I'm not trying to argue people weren't honestly beta testing the game, but from what I'm hearing, the "beta" label is just a formality right now so they can refer to certain questions and issues by saying "it's beta"
quote:
communication made it clear that "beta" is just an excuse for bugs and exploits, and not the real development status of the game.
quote:
I believe they call it beta because there are still a few things missing, such as the expanded pvp, raidingm, classes and expanded classes.
Beta doesn't mean you should break the game and exploit it if you can. This isn't a test build you are not testers.
Similar to how google call a lot of their products beta, it just means its not really feature complete, not that google mail users for instance are just testing their product.
quote:
There is also the terms and conditions that do state quite clearly that "you agree not to take any of the following actions" "Using or exploiting any bugs, errors, or design flaws to obtain unauthorized access to the Service or to gain an unfair advantage over other players"
So while the OP says he was testing, I find it hard to believe he didn't know full well what he was doing. OP was banned, and a ban he deserved.

A friend of mine still has 2.3 billion AD, and his account untouched. He was using the exploit before it went mainstream.
The above mentioned 2.3 billion AD is spread into 12 accounts. As of now, only 1 account was banned.
He already made over $8.000 selling to gold farming sites.
He's goiing to keep a rest, and when the surplus of AD from the gold sellers drops, he will sell to them again.
Although I'm pretty sure the goldsellers already have an infinite amount of AD on their hands.

I signed up yesterday. Game seems funs so far. I'm going back to my MMO roots with a damage caster and a priest. My next evening at home is Sunday but I think I'm on the server most of the group is on. Characters are Curios and Curiosity.

most are on mindflayer.
another gem about the exploit from reddit:
LOL DUMBASS

My experience with the AD/AH bug:
Went on the AH, noticed a few strange bids for negative ammounts and decided to dig through the interwebs to find out what was happening.
Found a thread on the official forums where someone mentioned the gateway and tried placing a bid for -1000 AD.
This resulted in 1000 AD transferred to my account followed by a good laugh.
Woke up the next day to find my entire account permanently banned.
This kinda makes me lose trust in how this company is prioritizing considering the fact that all those 1000 diamonds were lost in the rollback while there are people out there who made thousands of dollars selling billions of diamonds to third-party websites.

Is the game up and running fine again? I wasn't able to get on the entire weekend.
Posted on 5/21/13 at 9:25 am to jefforize
luckily I didn't play much over the weekend so I didn't lose a thing, but I feel you.
played for awhile last night and had zero issues.
PvP after level 40 is INSANELY different. you have clerics and wizards who actually know what they're doing. I played 3 rounds last night and only died once, while being the top scorer each time

yea I got the black armored horse that's 110% speed and it's been the best purchase ever. I love that you can use it with each character too

how many different kinds of currency are there? gold, astral diamonds, zen, 3-4 kinds of seals? bars? pvp tokens? zone specific drops? Astral/Celestial coins?
It's sad because they did really well with gameplay/combat and professions seem interesting enough.

yea, that's a big complaint of mine. it's just too much. wtf do the seals, bars, celestial coins, etc do?

I really enjoy the gameplay, but the economy is overwhelming at this point. I haven't invested too much into the game at this point, but I've enjoyed playing it so far.

They allow you to buy different things.
Grab 40 zone specific pieces to buy one seal.
Use a certain number of celestial and astral coins to buy potions, elixers, and drake seals.
Use astral diamonds to place auction items and buy key items.
Use glory to buy PVP items
Use bars to buy epic loot
They REALLY help in single player
Posted on 5/21/13 at 1:26 pm to CGSC Lobotomy
or you could simplify the economy and have one or two currencies
or don't flood new players with 15 different vendors for 15 different currencies before they know anything other than copper exists
