To address the issue that happened earlier today - we've fixed the exploit that allowed players to reroll items via crashing the servers. Players who abused it heavily will be banned, those that tried it a few of times will be given temporary suspensions. Crashing servers is a serious problem and is illegal in many countries (classed as a denial of service attack!)

Well sorry Chris, but ** **** ********. Unban ghudda and move on. How could anybody know this is a DoS? Players can't know. Bugs happen and I would have expected a rollback, but don't blame this on the players, don't go down that road GGG.

We are well down the road of banning people who cheat or try to crash servers for economic gain.

Ghudda's account isn't over the threshold that would result in a permanent ban, but it'll be included in the set who are temporarily suspended. There's no need to stream exploits to raise awareness of them - we were working on it a few hours before it was streamed. Thanks to those people who wrote in privately before it was public knowledge.

will the one week race be hardcore / softcore only or both?

Probably hardcore and it'll probably have some prizes.

Great response.

Curious about timelines, and how long this has been exploited. There are a couple of strangely near-perfect crafts on Rampage that outdo Standard crafts.

Less than a day from what we can see.

I know what you're talking about regarding the Rampage items and I can assure you that that was quietly dealt with a while ago.
