And another classic at post #45 in same thread.
Quote:To be honest, without a proper tracking tool for ploits and relying only on "reports" from other players, ddo has always "encouraged" ploits to the max.
If you are honest and pay you will be ..... over..
Just look at for example ottos, many of my friends bought god knows how many, i know a dude who spend god knows how many $$ on boxes to rush to 3x as fast as possible.
But then, some just recycled 1 stone that tehy bought off from honest players (someone had to initally buy the one that was used by the xploiter).
Now you tell me, who did tha s... over?
I tell you, sadly i didnt do it, but cheats are sooooo encouraged in this game that its dumb.
Cheats, safe spots, buging bosses, its been around longer then my main account is
I buy stones, but I re-use them because the cost is disproportionate to the benefit. I think ~$10/stone is fair enough, but the current pricing is ridiculous.
You express your frustration, but you target the wrong cause.
The dupers and exploiters are not the cause - we are the effect of sloppy work. The cause is the shitty, untested work foisted on us as product which Turdbine sell to us the Beta testers. Well, we're doing the Beta testing as they wanted!
I have no problems with your concerns so long as you correctly identify the cause, and realise that your anger comes from a sense on unfairness which is grounded in your own values. Trying to foist those values onto others is largely futile, nor will it stop anything - either the exploiting or Turdbine's crappy work practices.
I want to specifically answer this one.

No-one.
It didn't shit on anyone, because what they did had no effect on you or your friends.
So what if someone got triple epic completion ist by re-using stones and someone paid for it. What idiot pays us$50 a shot for enough stone to triple epic?
I don't exploit to harm others or make a profit, I exploit to avoid stupid pointless grind.
And it didn't cost Turdbine anything because those exploiting stones would likely never have bought them anyway.
So you tell us who you think it shitted over and back it up with rational logic, not emotive drivel?
