today is a sad day for PoE

This thread is greatly disheartening, be it true or nay.

Why exactly is this topic still up? The OP is not being vague at all. This is quite obvious name and shaming. They're accusing someone of things that people know isn't even true.

I don't care what his friends do, attacking an individual just because they play with other high level players is silly. Cross that, attacking an individual at all is not even allowed. Taking advantage of that rule by being vague in the OP(and not vague in every other post) is quite easy to see.

^^I guess it will become WAY easier to reach 100 when act4 comes out, before the maps will have to have higher levels, then he'll regret spending all that shit :D

edit: and wish he bought shrimps instead

Meh considering i played at least 20 days with him myself, there were times where we were stuck on 69's for a straight week... yah lets put those dollars to work...

In all seriousness... if hvr would have spent money on the game, he would have hit 100 prolly a month ago, because there were at least 3-4 times where for about a week straight we were stuck on 69-72's...

get your head out of your ass :(



Edit: here's my gear...



I was running MF the entire time with him, and we found a massive amount of GG items, 5 koams
a few shavs, 10+ lioneyes and many others, and with the extra 100 quantity... yah orbs dropped a lot as well. Sigh at kids nowadays

I see a vast difference between casting aspersions on a player's reputation based entirely on anecdote and circumstantial 'evidence', and commenting on the fact that the first player to reach 100 did so *significantly quicker* than any dev anticipated, including the typically conservative, realistic Chris.

That is why this thread is still up. It is relevant and not targeting an individual who otherwise has no place in the spotlight.

Something massive has occurred and people will want to talk about it.

The devs based their estimation when there was lower level maps.. and it was mostly geared towards casual players reaching 100 after many years.

That isn't really relevant though. The point is that OP is very clearly accusing hvr of cheating(I hope I don't have to explain how). That is not allowed regardless if he is guilty or not(which he isn't as many people admit, they are just accusing his friends.. which is still not allowed.)

People love talking about many things yet those get closed as soon as they breach such a rule.

Here is a crazy idea: Don't worry about other people. This does not effect you in any way. Just play the damn game, which is a DAMN GOOD game that is FREE with weekly updates.

The Op isn't the only one.

Indeed. There is some well known scammers that other people accuse as well. That doesn't keep topics up.

Even with proof provided a GGG employee has said to send that to support and not make a topic on it.

And they said *I* live in a dream world! :)

I like your attitude but someone just hit level 100 well before anyone expected, including the devs.

I'm sorry if that doesn't strike you as worth discussing, but I'm not sorry to say that if you don't want to discuss it, you don't have to post here.

I'll post where I want.


The devs will figure it out somehow, for all of the bitching and whining GGG eventually gets to a lot of problems. Someone probably gamed the system, oh well. Show me a game like this one that HASN'T. I remember stuff like this from D1 and D2. They will figure it out, I have faith in them.

Fundamental difference: scammers affect other players directly, and typically prey on the gullible. This is not GGG's responsibility.

What may or may not have happened here has far, far broader impact. See above.

Feel free to report this thread to support@grindinggear.com.

Well thanks for the reply. I feel this topic does not have an appropriate premise to seriously discuss the state of the game at high levels. I'll keep it at that.

This would be more appropriate http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/379896/page/1

lets all look at the real issue here...desync.
