You are not losing any item! You are just losing part of the enchants. I know this sucks, but my solution was meant to address this issue in a case where EME cannot track the exploiters. If they can track them, then your solution is the best solution.


how does probably 2-5k gold and tons of whites,greens,blues, and golds = losing no items.

You can make that up in less than a week. I said it sucks, but you can always work to restore your item to former glory. At least after this is fixed, those who get +9 will be known to have achieved it using honest means. Or most people will think you also exploited. Will this make you feel better?

Bottom line: Those who got +9 can always get it again, unlike those who used the exploit.

Oh and they should fix the exploit too.

This makes me absolutely sick. I have used 24 gold items with the correct dust to try and go from +8 to +9. I have yet to succeed. i also used 8 blue and 5 greens trying to get my sword to +9. I have been broke since the 6th day of release when I got my dayslayer trying to enchant this 1 weapon.


If these people are not banned or they roll back my weapon to +6 without some kind of restitution you can bet i wont renew my sub.

You got 8 days. And no I am not joking or threatening. I am stating a fact.

I spoke with EME regarding the issue to see what they had to say, they told me they were activley working on the issue and they wouldn't disclose anything regarding rollbacks or bans, so to be honest with you guys I don't think they are going to do anything about people who have already done it. I could be wrong though but what the GM told me wasn't anything promising.

EDIT: They also told me to check the forums for updates on the situation so as soon as the exploit is fixed all of us on the forums will probably know first if not probably second.

Just wanted to toss my 2 cents in;
Temp ban for exploiters with exploited item deletion sounds fair, doesn't it? If they can't tell who exploited, a rollback to before the exploit possibility would be best. If a rollback is impossible, well, how about +9'in everyone's gear and tossing a few thousand gold at everyone? (This last one was a joke.)

During this exploitation period, I wouldn't bother enchanting any item past +6.

Customer support ticket said that they were aware of the issue and looking into it. No confirmation on whether or not there would be a rollback or anything of that nature. So.. "we know of it but we aren't sure on whether or not we're going to do something about it."

Well...I'm aware of my cancel automatic payments button in paypal. >_> Not really sure if I'm going to do something about it...

Edit: Ah I see someone else talked to them as well. Hopefully if they get annoyed enough they'll realize this is actually really serious [filtered] and take appropriate action. (Rollbacks please ;_; )

I think the solution is simple.

If they can't effectively track everyone who enchanted to +9 using the exploit, they should just roll back all items to +6.

This will hurt people who enchanted past +6 using honest means, but at least it won't break the end-game and leave the community with a butt-sore. In addition, those who enchanted honestly get to keep some of their upgrades.

Wow, I'm happy you don't work for any game company.

I should lose my +9 that I spent about 3-5k gold on getting from +6 to +9 as well as the dozens of rare and superior items I used enchanting it because some morons used an exploit?

Kiss my [filtered].

EME allows you to group up with a healer friend let your teammates die and not rez them, finish the boss now that he is low on health so they can't roll on loot and then taunt them about it when there class item dropped and won't even ban those exploiters who actually have victims. I highly doubt they will ban anyone for this.
