They just pushed a patch this afternoon.
No notes yet..
My desktop (played last night) and my notebook (played yesterday afternoon) both received launcher updates and an additional download afterwards.
I'll bet they fixed it.
yea, my launcher updated like 2 hours ago...
EVERYONE RELAX!
It's an Exploit and the data is easily tracked. And it is not something you can do by mistake, so expect those that chose to exploit to get banned. Plus who cares if a few hundred T12 / T13 gear gets exploited to +9. Big freaking deal!
It will not ruin the game or the economy, it just gives the exploiters a small head start over the rest of the server and in the end it will all even out.
I've seen much worst over my years of gaming and this is tiny in comparison. So let it go and just petition to have all exploiters banned.
