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

Yes it is.

If I stand on a square in a room and get infinite exp and wasnt meant to happen by the devs its an expliot. You never hacked for it either.

Everyone could stand on that one spot, by your logic it isnt an exploit. By your logic nothing is an exploit unless is segregates, and that has nothing to do with the definition of an exploit.

However, telling what was meant by the devs and what was not can be hard. I will give that to you.

It's different when a Dev comes out and actually says it was an exploit and when the player base of an MMO says its an exploit.

In the live QA thing they did recently they admit to taking down the NPC because it was creating unintended effects.

Whether they meant making gil from the system or just getting lots of seals it wasn't clear (to me at least).

But yes, there are probably a lot of things that are called exploits that aren't.
