Bans for "Unintended" Mechanics? Insane

I absolutely grasp that "abusing" something that is an exploit should be banned. This was not a bug, or an exploit, by any definiton, just an unreasonably beneficial outcome for what is, arguably, a fair bit of setup despite the insane payout. They were playing the game you released it by the rules you released with.

You can also see that my character is in Act 3 atm, so I wasn't one of the beneficiaries, and this criticism comes from an honest place. Yes, it was absurd. No, they should not be *punished* for being creative with your systems.

GGG, YOU designed the tablet that way. Your lack of QA is not the community's burden to bear. Using in-game mechanics in their "designed" way, regardless of how powerful or "unintended" it is, should never be bannable in any game, LET ALONE early access where exploits and bugs should literally be replicated by players before reporting. Otherwise you need to ban for OP build designs that don't utilize bugs and trivialize content, which is clearly absurd.

Delete the currency to save your economy/league, absolutely. Admonish them all you want publicly.

Please, do not ban people for testing your game for you. This will have a chilling effect on early access players.

Insane is when they knew that this is unintended and still throwed mirrors and unlimited divs/audiences/omens at the market ruining the economy for everyone.

I would stop playing if they would not ban such behavior.

Don't ruin the league for everyone else and you don't get banned.

Yeah, no. They should definitely be banned, at least from Early Access.

That was so obviously so far outside of everything that could remotely be called 'within the rules'.

And not only that, the abusers flooded the markets with items and currency, ruining a 5 day old economy for personal gain, not caring about their coplayers.

Ban them.

Is this supposed to be EA or is this supposed to be a paid full release? The game has a fully functional MTX shop and they are doing league launches. But at the same time, it seems like almost no testing was done on any of the game play or mechanics. Did they really put in a mechanic that says “reduced ritual reroll cost” and nobody at all said “hey what if they make this to 100%?”

Even if it's unintended. People knew better. Why would you want to enable behavior like this?


This is like finding a wallet that fell on the ground and then justifying taking the money and credit card out of it because 'it was a mistake'.

Wait I'm not allowed to commit a lil identity theft when I find a dropped wallet?
But yeah, abusing then wondering why you got banned for bug abuse is quite questionable.

Very True hahaha

Y'all can't read.

I didn't say allow it.

I said it's not an exploit or a bug, and it's EARLY ACCESS.

Fix the problem, remove the currency, but banning them makes ME not want to play because now if I find some cool interaction that seems really strong, I'm risking being banned for utilizing it.

Lol. Not how this works unfortunately.

You know better than to use an unintended mistake to get free money.

They put people in jail for doing this sort of stuff IRL. Deal with it.
