    Finally, if you are aware of players possibly using exploits, we urge you to make a report to the Special Task Force to help facilitate our investigation.
    I will not be reporting cheaters. I don't give a crap about cheaters. I want events that don't suck. Your just making the event suck for the few people that could actually do it, when you should be making the event good for the people who can't.

    Can't do that if the data suggests there is nothing in need of fixing because people are fluffing it with unreliable data showing it isn't that hard because they remove an unknown variable turning it into a constant known value (ie: remove the random order of lamps via dat swaps making it a known order). There are people who complete the event through legit means so this only makes it harder to do so, but not impossible.

    Complete BS. SE knows exactly how *hard* this is. They programmed in the randomness, they know that floor 100 isn't going to be reached but once out of thirty to forty runs (completely legitimately). They introduced all the "screw yous" that ruin your runs, things like WS restriction is just the blatant ones. You have the ridiculously large floor layouts that one 1 random lamp or enemy a good 30~60+ second run from the start, all sorts of NMs to screw with you and then the infamous lamps. Not only must a "vanilla" group make it to 100, they must do so with a low number of jumps and minimal number of "screw yous" from SE.

    SE knows this, their not going to make it any easier. They don't want people 15/15, they want you 1/5 after four months. They want you still doing Nyzule Isle for gear in 2014. Just like Voidwatch, just like Legion.

    Apoc with both Catastrophe and Entropy gives you crazy sustain of both HP and MP. With the Haste aftermath you can wear a ton of -PDT and solo almost any 75 content.
    Doing damage is for WAR's, DRK is about soloing 75 content yo.....

    They know exactly how many people are cheating. Don't let their feigned innocence fool you. They didn't budget time to apply any major fixes to Nyzul Isle after it was released, and now it needs to be fixed but they have no time to do it, so they are putting a band-aid on the bullet wound. It's apathy towards paying customers and to the benefit of people who cheat.We shouldn't even be concerned about whether people cheat. We should be concerned about why the content was designed in such a poor state that people who cheat get to shit all over our experience. People will always cheat no matter how much they threaten to ban, or screw with the game to stop them. The only options are too either make a game where people can cheat, but it doesn't affect other peoples quality of game, or (the SE way) make the game however the hell you want, and then bullshit the public as if you care. Something tells me that forum reps get paid far less than game designers, so guess which option they chose. They chose "Let's send some forum reps out to make PR Posts.".
