Thread: If SE can't handle exploits now, why will they be able to in 2.0?

But that's how they programmed it so they just had to give kudos to the players for being so clever and strong and eat it. Same with the case of Atomos.

Contrast that to the Cure spamming exploit at launch. That was NOT working as intended and if people didn't own up to exploiting a clear programming error and accept the rollback of characters they were disciplined, at times permanently.

Wasnt here at launch, whats cure exploit.
I wanna know :-)

Your point is...?

Unless I miss read your post, it appears you are trying to make stupid distinctions in different types of exploits.

Yeah your post was so much clearer

You stopped caring about achievents? Then y are you going for the behest ones? Seemed to like to talk alot about that in ls

I don't think SE sees the whole Atomos seals/drops thing as an exploit though and here's why:

They changed how it worked once, well after people figured this out and were talking about it openly. They changed the seal acquisition rate to be random through making it so you only ever got the one guaranteed cluster. They did not change the seal exchange rate on any of the drops items, nor did they change the vendor price. They were clearly concerned solely with the consistent seal acquisition rate.

How pissed off would people be if they did some kind of rollback on Monday though? XD Nah, they couldn't at this point. Not after it's been so many days since.

How is something that you could always do, and people always did, an exploit because of one event?

People didn't just start selling Dawn Drops because of this event, it's always been good. Farm Caravan, Spiritbond, get Hamlet Mats, turn seals into gil.
