"We're addressing an enchanting system exploit by adding a hotfix to remove this bug. (Shutdown notices will normally be posted in advance.)" From Tera's twitter.

Seems to me like they're just going to ignore all the +9's that were made and the players that exploited. And the fact that the economy is now shot to [filtered].

I don't even know what to say to express my feels. Too many bad feels.

i just did a quest that required me to enhance. As long as i didnt enhance it past +6 im okay right? I just got it to +3 with the things that the quest gave me.


You're fine. You use the white alkahest to get from +1 to +6. Then you have to use considerably more expensive Refined Alkahest to get from +7 to +9. The exploit allowed people to use the White Alkahest to upgrade.

I swear to god this is the biggest bunch of "the sky is falling" whiners I've ever seen gather together.

You guys... aren't so good at this perspective thing are you? You're collectively screaming for rollbacks and bans like everyone has leapfrogged you by a year. Look. We had legit +9's inside of a week. In MMO terms, anything that can be accomplished inside of a week means eff-all in the long run.

In FFXI, those salvage bans you speak of were over gear that could take a few months to over a year to get. Relics in FFXI were gear that could take 10-30 people working together for one relic months to years. That would be [filtered] to get upset over.

Expansions are going to be released, and all of these +9-12s are going to be obsoleted. No one is going to obtain any serious advantage in the long run. Rollbacks for [filtered] this minor are silly. Stop screaming for them to punish legit players to target a few people who got an advantage for all of a few weeks/months until updates obsolete their gear.

Nothing that can be done in a week is worth raging over.


I agree with this dude. Mole hills my friends, small piles of dirt in a large world.

The server shutdown is to adress this bug with at the very least a hotfix according to their twitter.

They might in time. Rolling back the right people will take some time.

Just ban all the exploiters, I've played many other games. They'll do anything they can to find future exploits and do the same to those. Now you won't need to catch them later.

I just find it surprising even after so many people have been saying that the enchanting system has the exploit, people still continue to use it.
I don't really care if there is a roll back or even ban, I will just remember those people who would reason themselves "the door of that house is open, which obviously means the owner himself is helping me to rob his house, so I am not guilty if I rob his house." And a good thing is, their name conveniently showed up in the chat window
