Clone Wars, The Exploit

[Lolindir]

Start the 'FRS discusion' thread, bois. Would be a shame if mods had to step in cause this thread gets derailed.

QFE

This thread is about duping and the effect that has on us all, not FRS, forum pvp, or anything other you wish to post about.

[WohenForgotHisPassword]

Is it possible to see a list of the duped items (e.g., Quantity x Item type)? If not, can you confirm if any resources stacks were included?

[sroster]

if resources were duped or resources used from duped CFRs were used what a massive clusterfudge. I would assume that would mean tons of in game weapons armor made with tainted resources not just the uber stuff.

[Lolindir]

Everything has been duped. Anything that is useful

[buellronin]

And anything with any duped part will go poof.......this is going to be interesting

[RickySpanish]

Is there a timeline on when this started?

Between the old dupes, new dupes, VPN adk farming accounts, pre-nerf bones/scopes, broken exceptional/legendary drops.... This server is a complete pile of poop. While I do have faith in the staff... I feel like things will be missed.

I could also see people that bought items without knowing... losing everything they have. While I know it needs to be done for the greater good how much longer do you think they will be playing when the weapon/adk suit/psg they farmed months for goes poof. They will no longer be able to compete in this game while others will be left untouched.

Unless 1.0 is less than a year away, WIPE THE SERVER! Give everyone a fresh start. A wipe might piss some people off but it will also bring back a ton of people that quit for the reasons listed above.

I myself no longer play much so it really does not effect me. But if there is a wipe I would return.

I'm not sure if this is something people will agree with it or not.

But in regards to all the adks that will go poof, it is what it is.
But would it be possible to remove all adks from all items so we can prioritize where the adks goes?

I.E I have 2 full sets of ADKD armor with attachments on them.
next minute i end up with 2 helmets and 2 chestplates adkd but no boots or bracers ADKD.
I would obviously rather stick 4 adks on a full suit.

This is better than a server wipe imo

I had so many adk's I was adking clothing just to use them all.

I think its for sure hard enough to figure out all items that are affected. If even the resources taken in to account done with an duped resource kit this is in deed a deep impact.

"But would it be possible to remove all adks from all items so we can prioritize where the adks goes?"

I didn't get that in total. You mean prioritize the legal ADKs that are left. Will only the duped ADKs be deleted, the Item it was be attached will be left ingame (if not affected by any other duped material)?.


A server wipe would sure bring back some people but at the same time cost some numbers as some players might not start over after a wipe till 1.0 is back.

He wants duped adks removed from the game and all remaining adks removed from their current items, so he isn't left with 4 adkd chest pieces potentially and have to delete stuff to remake a full suit. Would be nice depending how bad it is!

We are many within LIVE that had nothing to do with this and we are just as surprised as all of you are. This was not a guild effort but a select and secretive group within the guild - please don't forget that.

Personally if I only lose 1 adk I will chalk it up to the test server, but if I get slammed, I know Im out untill 1.0.

I could also see people that bought items without knowing... losing everything they have. While I know it needs to be done for the greater good how much longer do you think they will be playing when the weapon/adk suit/psg they farmed months for goes poof.

This is also where i am. Please be careful and considerate with the execution of this cleanup.

[dsrules]

i am amazed at how many people think they know what they are talking about. go home. your take is not that hot.

I agree, A select group cheated. Some didn't cheat, but knew, benefited and closed their eyes. But a large portion didn't knew and are now also taking the heat. Their actions damaged the reputation of LIVE guild. And I feel sorry for those that are now taking the heat.
The investigation is still ongoing. Some people that are banned are still investigated, doesn't mean they are actually guilty. And some accounts still need to be investigated that might get banned in the future. People should not jump to conclusions.
