Why the Raid Counter Does Not Work

Print Post  
Turbine and I had a conference call and I told them, "If you want to catch the dupers you have to catch them with items that are BTC from raids".  What we decided was to have a hidden raid counter to track the number of raids completed.  Now when someone puts in a ticket their bags are checked against average Masterwork Taps drop rates and items upgraded....if you duped you're done!  Simple process. 

Same for crunching cards the x_Y card text is for logging what cards you crunch for easy review.  Crunch too many 2s and 5s or 4s and 10s...enjoy your vacation.

You have been warned.

2 theories:

a) TJ over there knows his stuff.

b) Turbine can't fix shit.


Which is more likely?

Clue: It's not A.

Because Turdbine....
  
Dear players,

The D&D rules you were familiar with were too simple to understand, so we're continuing our move away from them to needlessly confusing subsystems that will make your play experience less fun and invalidate old builds and loot. We hope you have fun working out what the fuck MRR, PRR, MP, SP, RP, CL, MCL and all the other bullshit we made up whilst drunk means.

Love,

People who don't know how to fix their own mistakes cleanly

FTFY
C) Neither - becuase Turbine's uselessness is not limited to just shit fixing.

Honestly wouldn't be surprised if they did this.

But the part about a conference call with them is a bit unbelievable.

Will suck for many dupers if it's true.

Op, did you make this up while you were taking a shit this morning. This is the biggest pile of bullshit that i have heard in a long time. I put in a ticket two days ago with my packs full of duped shit. The GM answered within 5 min and fixed the issue for me. Then he/she asked if there was anything else and is said no and thank you an went on my way. Oh and I duped more shit with in minutes and no ban

they will probably congratulate themselves on how long they "kept it going" never able to see that it could have easily managed to keep itself going for far longer if they had just meddled far less drastically and with some semblance of an actual gameplan.

Turbine is incapable of following through and executing anything correctly. Even if this is the plan they will fuck it up and probably ban their whole player base or something. Again.
