    theres a big difference imo between being able to repeat a leve for SP every cycle, as opposed to not having to pay the faction points every time you want to do the NM to try and get gear.

    in one case, your just passing up the reward to redo it again next cycle
    in the other case, you are literaly skipping weeks of work getting faction marks to pay for the next attempt(thats why it was an exploit)
    It was an exploit because you can still get allgian runestones after you abandon an retake it. but that is the one I was talking about, was fixed less than a week after reporting it.

    I doubt there are people that chose to question its legality and instead replicate it to get mad loots. Which is why TheTwelve is doing the right thing by questioning the legality of the actions.

    oh yeah, ok good we were on the same page there

    that was definately an exploit, but not cuz of the runestone(which is part of the whole picture anyway) but because of the ability to skip spending 600 faction points to do it every day instead of every few weeks like was intended(well maybenot every few weeks, but it took a bit to get the points to redo it and people were basicaly skipping that by doing so)


    and there were tons of people who argued at the fact it was legal when i brung it to my shells attention when i found out about it, including a certain person who has been praised on our server forums who i know for a fact was abusing it to death

    You know you dont have to do phase I and II anymore in order to do phase III if you did them already right?

    And I would just report him/her. get him/her banned or suspended or whatnot. And anyone that decided they wanted to replicated it after it was deemed a serious violation.

    wasnt aware you could skip 2 phases and just repeat 3rd

    nice to know if i ever bother with them(i personaly have 1000 points in each faction and am too lazy to do the NMs lol)
    maybe i should start
