There should be no blame placed on DDT, he should be commended for legitimately testing the hell out of this product before release. GGG however should be held responsible for the race fiasco. They have taken too long to fix a known issue, also feel they should be commenting in this thread with an explicit standpoint on the issue.


It would be nice if there was an official comment from the Devs but from what i have heard in previous posts it has been discussed in Alpha and we are not worthy of knowing if or how they are going to deal with it. But to continute having races and give rewards until this is sorted is beyond belief.

It is truly like being a mushroom. Get fed a load of crap and yet still kept in the dark.

If this the way GGG and Devs are going to treat the community god help us when OB hits and there are more problems to deal with.

Other things that are wrong with the game either get changed or nerfed when there is un balance.

Yea I agree there should be some kind of dev comments on this. I do believe they are thinking of fixing the issue but to not at least provide a bandaid solution to it right away, to preserve any dignity this ladder has left, is careless on their behalf, and leads to many other assumptions.

When each person thats 'competing' in the race is spending 6x as much in keys as needed to play, they might not be so eager to fix it promptly. I realize that statement may sound a bit ignorant but I can't logically think of any other legit reason they are keeping everyone in the dark about it. Or not even providing a temporary fix to make it not worth the effort trying to boost at least for the remainder of this ladder.

Minimum level on advancing acts and or difficulties. Problem solved.

Yep, that alleviates the experience boost enough i think, to make it not worthwhile and a decent telp solution til they can come up with something that really works. Still not the item quant bonus but thats kind of a secondary issue anyway. Most ppl I believe are concerned with pay to win, which it currently is, as in a fucking joke this ladder is.

Top players last ladder in default were legit. I know this for a fact because I was 2nd for quite a while. Chucillian was up there too legit. Grits was 1st and only has 1 acct, is a good friend of mine irl and we play together all the time.

No one cared to boost last ladder because there were no prizes involed, items, game tokens whatever. Now they intoduce this, catch on to it pretty quick because everyone knew how fast some of these guys got the top and didn't do shit about it. IMO GGG has some explaining to to to the general pop.

I cant speak for default, but the HC ladder had boosted.

Did you guys even read my posts about minimum level? It doesn't fix anything, it slightly hinders it but doesn't fix it at all. It will only make fewer people able to do it, but the top players (like myself) will still do it.

If minimum level doesnt stop it in a 3h race, why do you think it will stop it in a longer race?

Bad solution

Because friends would not be able to help other friends complete quests that they've already done.

This also does absolutely nothing to stop boosters in a month race or general leagues btw.

to stop boosters? -_-

This is what happens when loopholes exist, it tarnishes the genuinity of the game, and the ppl associated with these practices, its clear to everyone at this point that unfortunately this ladder race is a joke..and i really feel sorry for the couple ppl who did not boost at all who finished in the top 10, because ppl are vaguely labelling those couple or few as boosters too, even tho they havent. For those of you who used boosters, gz, your true nature to fulfil your credibility is forever tainted

Its not botting or hacking, its a loophole exploit, plain and simple, where people have to option to take advantage of and it seems to me that GGG has not made this a priority of theirs to EASILY solve since a thread was created about this 2 months ago.. the solution is simple and easy and could probably be made overnight, another reason why i remain confused as fuck about this subject..

I saddens me to see this evident amongst our community, which is filled with 99.9% honest and trustworthy people, this boosting shit is a plague in our community that needs to be dealt with asap.

GGG, since you have done nothing about this you have provided any player with the potential folliwing.

a) insert leechers for optimal experience gained
b) un-equip any form of mf gear since leechers provide quantity boost
c) by losing the significance for mf, you can just equip str8 dps gear and destroy shit

If the games overall mission is to balance what it has created than we are going backwards..these advantages completely mudslide balance..time to wake up please.

Yea i was talking about default, i don't know what goes on in HC but if you say people onthe top were doing it last ladder then i will believe you.

I read your post about min level and i agree it's not a complete solution thats why i said its just good enough temp one. It would take alot of time to get alts to level 55 or whatever to enter maps and even if you got your friends to do it you'd still be fighting harder monsters for not as much experience as you'd get with having lvl ones right? The effort it would take to make this worthwhile would robably be better spent just partying with another player at your own level and killing shit faster.

Not right, you would get the same exp. Once your group mate is out of range, you get full exp of the mob. Its not split in anyway.

Again please read the posts, I've already displayed how this worked in 3h races, and that has NOTHING to do with level 55.

So what's so hard to figure out to fix that man? Just make it be split using the normal formula whether they are in range or not. So you'd have to level 5 alts to level 55 to join your game and you have to split your lvl 80 exp with lvl 55s but fight mobs with a ton more HP. You would get more experience than being by yourself sure but theres alot more risk-reward ratio and you wouuldnt get nearly as much exp as you can now. Doesnt fix the quantity problem but solved for experience boost at least.

Please answer me this.

Temporal Chains was overpowered. It was nerfed. Does that mean anyone using Temporal Chains before the nerf are tainted?

What about the next one. Enfeeble is likely get get nerfed soon because its way overpowered. That mean anyone using it now in races is tainted?

Oh what about this. Ledge give a lot of good exp for little to no risk, so people that farm there from level 4 because I think that's not fair. They tainted too?

Oh how about, when I play in a race, I dont get the gem I want off the start I remake a new toon and rush them to get a gem put it in the stash and then I have a gem to use. That make me tainted too?

How about this, before killing the boss mob, I put on my MF gear on, so I get better loot drops. Is that wrong too? I mean its giving advantages.


Do you get to make up which tactics "loopholes" as you call them are making people tainted or not? Can I get that power too?

So its ok to do it at lower levels just not level 80?
So 3h races no one cares about?

Also why level 55? Now I cant do maps til level 55? What if I want to do maps at level 54 when its the best exp?
