Can someone explain how this was an exploit?

There is a league event, they found an area where it spawns frequently. They didn't do anything weird, they literally just went to the area, akin to farming a boss or anything else in the game.

Then what did they do? Played the league mechanic optimally?

Like what am I missing here?

Yes the rewards are too much... but that's not really exploiting the game, this is literally just playing the game as it's released to maximize returns.

This is beta, they're burned out, sh*t happens. They're trying to crank out content too fast and trying to deliver more complex and cool stuff than they have time to polish, explain, and ensure is implemented properly in the game.

Absurdity to think people should be banned for this.

is there something I'm missing?

Yes there is a lot you're missing. Let's start with the definition of an exploit provided by Google: "An "exploit" is a method (code, command, or technique) that takes advantage of a flaw (vulnerability) in software, hardware, or systems to cause unintended behavior, often for malicious purposes like gaining unauthorized access, stealing data, or installing malware, acting as a tool to deliver a payload or weaponize a weakness. The term also broadly means using a situation or person unfairly for personal gain, and in gaming, it refers to exploiting game mechanics for an unfair advantage."

They were exploiting game mechanics for unfair advantage in terms of economy gain and abusing temple mechanic. Pretty simple.

"

They played the game as it was intended.
Any person playing the game could have noticed the temple area spawning too often. In no way was this a "glitch" or a "vulnerability".

A vulnerability implies some sort of bit of logic, or out of the ordinary quirk that is hard to reproduce.

This was none of those things. Just an intended portion of the game that was easily accessed.

The players were just doing their roll, trying to find ways of gaining power and killing things quicker and reaching objectives faster.

There is no "honor system" in these games so long as players are not using ulterior scripts and cheates or wonky exploits.

This was none of those, this was simplem, very basic play. The fault lies on the game mechanisc that allowed lawful and ethical play to produce absurd results.

Demanding players be banned because they played the game and got lots of bonuses for teleporting to the same spot over and over again is total insanity.

You know what other farming strategy also involves going to the same spot over and over again and farming for resources? LITERALLY EVERY OTHER FARMING STRATEGY IN EVERY GAME EVER SINCE THE INCEPTION OF VIDEO GAMES.

Good lord you guys gotta get a grip.

It's a beta in a temporary league.

Get a grip.


EDIT: You know what's funny? Everyone crying there weren't enough rewards for doing the temple. So GGG boosted it, knowing full well it was going to break everything and people just didn't explore and try the content.

They're probably laughing about all this. Guess maybe the temple wasn't provoding crappy rewards after all?

But people don't want to play teh game, they need to be told explicitly how to abuse systems and want everything handed to them on a silver plate.

I'm torn, on one hand, yeah the conveyance and explanation of mechanics are often burried under long winded voice overs and lore, and there aren't enough clues in UI and play as to what's going on or what to expect.
