I didn't see anything new or different when I checked my inbox today.2) Were there any obvious signs (like in-game graphic glitches) to hint that using legacy cards in standard was not okay?If the answer to these questions is no, there is no argument to claim it's immoral for players to use what they were permitted to do. It's not exploiting. Players did what they were allowed to do, and it's not their responsibility to restrain themselves from content that the developers (aware or not) have given them access to. It's called Corporate Social Responsibility.Now if a player hacked MTGPQ and was able to play legacy cards in standard events, then we definitely have an argument for exploitation with concrete grounds for punishment. No, @FindingHeart8 it was we who missed you!After the deal was broken, it turns out it was much easier to stumble upon the “exploit” then “they” would have one believe. Heck, yeah I may have actually stumbled upon it myself when accidentally fat-fingering the default deck gif story mode in between coalition matches. Luckily (for me), the devs seem to have settled on <10 times since the bug was reported (purely speculation on my part in absence of official standards).

Mburn7 said: Yeah, it was definitely possible and pretty easy to accidentally trigger the bug. I don't understand why people are making it sound like it was so ridiculously complex.
Please act faster.Communicate with us.

I expect the app to take care of that! Even though I have played the app for a long time. Why you ask, see bullet 1.Once I have made my deck, I tend to play with that deck during the entire event without changing it. Changes occur occasionally, if I have forgotten a crucial component which either makes me loose a match or loose points.I rarely end up with top-10 prizes for various reasons, but I guess that bullet 4 is the main reason. I assume that top players alter their deck depending upon the opponent they are matched up against.The play-style and the communication from D3/Octagon plus the speculation on the forum makes me concerned. How can a player provide any proof of innocence to being accused of exploiting the legacy in standard bug if they have a similar approach as I have stated above? If you saw legacy cards in standard PvP events, you knew something was wrong and should have reported it. As for the rest, it wasn't really easy to inadvertently put the legacy cards in your decks. There were several steps to using the exploit. If you used it, you did it on purpose. However -- there is some speculation that changing a deck in story mode could also change it in an event -- if that happened to you and you then saw that you were playing the wrong deck in a live event, would you not see that as a bug and report it? If you didn't, then you exploited the game.

Sarahschmara said: Update: this has not actually been fixed. I managed to click on my legacy deck that I use for story mode and it let me use it for RotDP. I didn’t realize it until after the match had started—should I have just quit and taken the loss?I’ve already submitted a ticket, what else should I do? @Brigby
Sarahschmara said: This is being handled incredibly poorly by D3Go.
Sarahschmara said: So is it OK to use legacy cards or will that be considered “cheating?”

When are you ever not inactive, seems to happen a lot lately FindingHeart8 said:1) Were the players notified that they could not use legacy cards in standard decks? I didn't see anything new or different when I checked my inbox today. Event rules. Your frequent inactivity might explain why you missed reading those. The rules for each event do specify which cards are restricted for that event. Now admittedly, there have been some typing mistakes in the event rules section when certain card sets rotated into legacy but the devs forgot to update the rules. Notably, in a few runs of RotGP. FindingHeart8 said:2) Were there any obvious signs (like in-game graphic glitches) to hint that using legacy cards in standard was not okay? Yes, even while the player could go through with entering their tampered deck in the standard event, they could see (while viewing the deck in the event screen) that yellow sign with the "!" mark; indicating that the card was restricted and not supposed to be used in that deck.

But what is the difference between event rules that are easy to circumvent and event rules that are "difficult" to circumvent? In both cases it is an event that says it is standard in the rules but allows legacy cards to be played.Why should legacy cards be ok in one but not the other?
