Yea this was a bug from when Reincarnation first came out.

I TR'd the day it was available. I may or may not have farmed the Prey end reward list along with STK list.

If I remember, this first bug was even after you completed the quest fresh without an existing reward to pick up.

The only solution, as you never got credit for the completion, was to give a free TR.

Here's the issue with this whole exploit, it was originally posted on the DDO forums.

A user had posted that they were unable to get the quest again and would only receive end rewards every time they talked to the NPC.

It originally started as a complaint because a GM was unable to help them. Of course this just opened a can of worms that turbine didn't bother to fix or clean up from at the time.

It wouldn't take a rocket surgeon to find that player in-game and ask how they did it.

Their slogan (or at least the sig of their weird and aggressive spokestroll DukeNukem) was "We specialize in turn ins" 

Oddly enough, it turns out it's completely true.
  

Making it weirder for some time now.

I figure that they have to have either a mod, dev, or GM in the guild to get away with this for this long in the first place.

Or they are just dumb as shit.

Turbine was probably only keeping track of renown gained at a rate of renown over time... Because Sojero had a very small amount of smartness to not be a total shithead and just get all his renown at once like he was planning too, Turbine was unable to make any connection...

You may think Turbine is all smart and uses all this high tech crap to detect exploits, but thats bullshit. Were talking about a company that took them 5 years to realize that they had the capabilty to bring back deleted characters on their server.

Unless someone literally shoves their fist down their throat with hundreds of people recognizing the problem as well, Turbine will not know what to do.

Hopefuly that was accomplished, as I have been getting some PM's back that they are looking futher into the investigation (whatever that means...).

Not sure what would happen if I lvled the LR to lvl 11 and wore two uncleansed greensteel and released...


I actually did this by accident recently.  I was LR'ing a toon and equipped two GS items that were both not cleansed.  I wasn't paying attention (focusing on the LR dialogue) and died.  (Yes.  It was embarassing and stupid.  Fuck off.)

Anyways, there is no way to release on the boat or bring yourself back to life.  I had to contact a GM.  The GM dropped a greater spirit cake in my inventory that brought me back with enough health so I could un-equip one of the items. 

Basically, it just wasted 45 minutes of my life waiting for the GM to respond.  Can't see any way you could benefit from it at this point.

There are 3 guilds doing that according to the Horse Race thread.  All on Sarlona, one an admitted "sister" guild to mister Dukenukem's guild.

I wonder if it's just the same bugged character bouncing between the 3 guilds.

to all those not calling for a ban have you ever seen what rampant cheating of any kind does to a game? it destroys it and turbine doesn't need any help in that category.

All the fuckwits saying the OP is wrong for calling these guys out on the other forums because who cares if they are just raising their guild level that doesn't affect anyone. Now we find out they are using it to duplicate unbound items which could easily destroy a server economy(again turbine doesn't need anymore help here). Everyone fucking plays in this sandbox too get with the program. These shitbags should be permabanned no question

This type of thing has run rampant since day one and continues through today. 

The one time I remember an exploit being really, really out in public was the blue flag era.  It was a few weeks that I remember being a high point for DDO.

I'll contact dispatch for you.

Would I like to see that entire guild and everyone involved perma-banned, yes but not for the reasons you think.  I really could not care any less than I do that these guys gamed the system and cheated their way to the top.  Why would I like to see them perma-banned?  Because I think it would be fucking highlarious to read the stuff that would be posted here and on the official forums.  I am getting much enjoyment reading these posts.
