Enchant Exploit - Enchanting +6 without Refined Alkahest

In Final Fantasy XI (FFXI), when an exploit was found in one of the endgame areas, Salvage, Square-Enix ended up permanently banning wide swathes of players. Many of those that got banned were also those who had no idea what the exploit was but were banned "by association" with the group of players that did it. Several Linkshells, especially the server I played on-- Bismarck, were literally disbanded because of the lack of members or even no leadership to run the LS.

As I am in FFXI and in any other MMO, any player who exploits the game, takes advantage of said exploit, and/or uses it discourage accessibility to the items (i.e.- increasing the item's price on an auction price or related items needed for the item) should be punished.

I have zero-tolerance to cheaters in any game.

And, I expect EME and any other game company to be the same.

In this case, seeing you can sell enchanted items through the Trade Broker for hundreds, if not thousands, of gold, I would like to see the following done as punishment who took advantage of the exploits:
1. Rollback of the account that COMMITTED THE EXPLOIT to a previous backup of the account from a WEEK or a MONTH ago.

AND/OR

2. Permanent ban of the account or deletion of the character(s) from the player's account.

AND/OR

3. Removal of the money from the person's character(s) for each of the items he/she sold on the Trade Broker.

it wouldn't even let me put white alchests on anything higher than +6, so there must have been a sneaky trick people were using in order to make it happen if it was happening.

If it was the case, I hope eme does some investigating and rolls these people back

You mad at something?


I do not think you have control of the words that leave your mouth. They are seemingly at random.


I think you're mad.


^ rage.

I don't know why I bother reading these forums anymore. I swear, my IQ drops by 10 points each and every time I visit.


The screenshot's chat text is CLEARLY faked, and is from the European client anyway. The fact that Frogster messed up their most recent patch is well known information already.


If you know that there is a bug being exploited on the North American version of the TERA client, then contact EnMasse directly.

Otherwise, you're just wasting your time (and our brain cells).

I don't see why rollback seems to be the only option here why not just ban the people abusing the exploit. If you've done nothing wrong you've got nothing to worry about since you're not the one getting banned. The people abusing the exploit were fully aware of what they were doing and they exploited it anyways so just ban them and problem solved.

Banning a couple of hundred idiots for abusing the exploit seems more rational than rolling back the entire server and not only that it would set a precedence if there are exploits in the future. If they set a harsh punishment now people are less likely to try to exploit in the future knowing that they will ban exploiters.

Basically if they do nothing now if there ever was an exploit in the future you could be sure anyone who finds out about the exploit would abuse it knowing they aren't going to do [filtered] about it.
