Hypothetical question: would you get banned if you knew how to dupe exalted orbs
" Aw come on, we both know it is low effort trolling, but you can't deny that he knows how to press the right buttons for some of our more "reactionary" users. I'm not sure how he will work the "I'm a veteran" bit into this one though. == Officially Retired 27/02/2019 ==
Massive thanks to GGG for producing such a fun and engaging game, it has taken up faaaaaaar too much of my life over the last 5 years. Best of luck in the future! |

" Well I mean like the person who was duping didn't know it was wrong and thought that was just a secret mechanic of the game, a bonus if you will. A lot of games have secret stages and items, so I don't think it is completely unbelievable to think that maybe its an Easter Egg. For example Diablo 3 has the cow level. It drops a ton of items and gems and crafting items. I don't think someone would do it and then be worried that they "duped" items. That's what I mean by "accidental". |

" Duping isn't a bug, it is usually a hack. You don't accidentally hack something, you intentionally do it. At best they will go lenient on you. If you expecting a reward, you are stupid criminal. You are suppose to report it anonymously or do it without them knowing your identity. Why do you think superheroes wear a mask? They are all vigilantes beating up criminals in the middle of the night. |

" I am speaking from strictly a legal perspective. I hope to go to law school soon, once I take my LSAT and score perfect. Meanwhile I like to just think legally. Legally it is possible for someone to make that mistake and think it is part of the game. They can't ban your account for not knowing whether something is legit or a secret. Any attorneys here, happen to play POE, want to give us your perspective? It would be appreciated. Last edited by ivqancorp#3038 on Feb 21, 2016, 4:22:34 AM

" If they have such widespread game-breaking bug such as exalt dupe that can be done easily without any hack, they would have to take down the servers, fix the bug, do a rollback. Nobody would be punished for it. If such eye glaring problems get through to release, It is usually the developers that need to be spanked. BTW: How they deal with it is an interior process by the gaming company not some legal jurisdiction. Why are you asking an attorney? |

When Ghuddo found out how to rollback item while crafting and showing it on his stream his account got locked immidiatly. GGG later announced that they were aware of this bug and were able to track items crafted with this method and removed this from the game. They removed Ghuddas test items and unlocked his account again.
I should mention that Ghudda didn't try to make profit with this and asked his viewers (ZiggyD was watching the stream at the time) to report this bug to GGG. #FreeGhudda |

Legally speaking "not knowing" is not a valid legal defensive stance.
Example : "Hey I didn't know that kidnapping , torturing and killing minors is a crime! I did it just a couple of times by accident in the course of few years, but then I understood that it is in fact a crime, I'm coming clean know though by my own volition. So ... where is my reward guys?" "I'm going to show you pain you never knew existed, you're going to see a whole new spectrum of pain!!!!! Like a RAINBOW!"

He's just using "accidental" to try to drag me into this. Nope. Already got a few warnings this week from similar threads trying to get people in trouble. Nope. Wont pull that trigger.

" You can stop right there. They can ban your account for any reason or give no reason at all. It's their game. They can do what they want with it. Edit: I just realized I made a mistake... I referred to it as "your account". It's not your account. It's their account. Last edited by Shagsbeard#3964 on Feb 21, 2016, 10:33:36 AM
