    There would not be players looking for such exploits if we weren't stuck opening Starlords and Invisible Womans in most of our Legendaries. Also doesn't help that most of our other token pulls consist of Moonstones and Hawkeyes.

    When the odds are fair, the players play fair (most of the time).

    Know that this comes from a position of respect, but that way lies madness. Based on your previous posts, I think I understand your ongoing frustrations, but it just sounds too much like the guys I know who file share and justify it as "I totally WOULD pay for music/movies/TV if the system wasn't so corrupt, man!" I almost have more respect for the ones who just say "I did it because I didn't want to pay for it."

    Is it possible to say the nature of the exploit without saying how to do it? Just wondering.

    Maybe I'm the only one, but I read the "increase" part as "We've been banhammering people who use the exploit, but now we're seeing a lot of them so we want to say as publicly as possible that if you try to get infinite legendary pulls, your **** is grass."

    If the exploiters are put out to pasture in ban-camp before end of season placements are set, I'm fine w/ however D3 decides to ban cheaters---wave by wave or one by one.

    I also find it funny that the Devs aren't addressing issues we have had for months, but they hop into action for this. I shouldn't be surprised though, it affects their bottom line.

    I'm happy that they moved this to the top, though, even though I wasn't aware of this exploit until an hour ago. This **** just ruins the game in so many ways

    This is a pretty big issue that required an immediate response. Anything less would be insane.

    Someone in this thread explained it, and the post was deleted, so. . . . It wasn't anything that required any technical know-how. Just the knowledge of the exploit, and the desire to cheat.

    Sandboxing is already happening at this moment- I was in third for the season behind Noobulator and someone else. Woke up yesterday in second with Noob in first. Not sure how quickly they'll catch everyone, but the banhammers have been swinging.

    I still see him there in 1st place. EDIT: Nope, now he's gone. EDIT 2: Now he's back!

    Easy if you're in an alliance. You'll be removed and will unable to join or make another alliance. Also any events you attempt to join will only have you in the full leaderboard, so you'll win first in every event. At least that's what I hear is what being sandboxed is like.

    Why do you ask? Did you use this exploit?

    This is demonstrably not true in virtually any system composed of humans.

    Going to drop a potentially unpopular opinion; if they were using a hack it otherwise manipulating their game files, then that's ban worthy, but if it was just exploiting a glitch, then I say let them stay and fire the developer behind that piece of code for costing the company money.

    Why not penalize the players who knew they were not playing by the rules as well as fix the dev issue?

    no

    coding's hard and firing someone for a single mistake is silly

    The frustrations are still strong with me. Looking back at my post it sounded like I exploited so I changed my original post. It's actually more fitting now icon_e_biggrin.gif
