	they made it bad - should rather left them reusable with big chance of screwing:) that would help the market.

	I think leaving 'em re-usable WAS helping the market. Personally, I bought 2 boxes(heroic and epic) after finding out about the re-use specifically so I COULD re-use them. Sure, it would limit people buying multiple boxes, but you'd have more people buying them. Then, when you do flub it up(which is/was fairly easy) you gotta buy another. Ah well, at least other ahem things exist.

I'm curious about this, i mean Turbine's known for months the shenanigans going on with stuff like Otto's on sale the same time double daily dice XP hits. According to MajMal sales went up every time and exploit hits. So, when Otto's goes back on sale and the number of boxes sold plummets compared to what the sales used to be, do you think some code will "slip" back to the live servers?

	I doubt it. But it's a pleasant thought. Its funny, I was even going to buy a new epic box eventually(I sorta flubbed and lost the stone on my second re-use), now I doubt I'll even buy another ottos at all! I only got 1 run out of my heroic stone(didn't have time to TR again, for some reason didn't move it over to another char and start stoning all my alts ). Its weird... now that the sploit is gone, I don't think I'll ever be able to single-use an otto's box again! Too hard to see what I've missed

	They shut down stone re-use so that we'd all use up all our current stones. Then, they will re-enable the feature so we all load up again on otto's boxes, one each of heroic and epic, and then start re-using stones again. Finally, they will then shut it down again for us to use up. GOTO 10 repeat ad nauseam.

This would be the perfect plan to make the $$$, and turbine could occasionally ban the un-lucky noob that blabs his mouth about it to make it look like they care. But alas, i dont think turbine is that smart.

NOTHING makes up for lack of skill Fortunately, "being good at a video game" is not something all of give a tremendous shit about, otherwise the game would go out of business. "If you can't learn to do something well, learn to enjoy doing it poorly."

	ya pretty pointless. Turbine is grossly overestimating the value of their game . With the current state of the game, anyone investing hundreds of dollars for stones is a fool. if they were usable 5-10 times, then they may be worth the $50 for one but 1x use? no way. Now I wont consider buying any, whereas before i might have once i ran out.

	So I got an otto stone to use. Do I use it and loose it, or wait for chance that re-use becomes possible again?

It looks like the current batch of coders are both more competent and actually give a shit about the long term health of DDO. I'd be astonished if this bug came back. Now if only they'd fix the lag.
