Titan Hard Mode Exploit?

[rabbitzero]

I'm curious (and no, i haven't done it) if there will be any punishment to the exploiters of it. It's clearly sounds like they knew it was an exploit, especially the ones who sold runs.

If XI is any indication, they'll likely get banned.

they'll say something like "it's SE's fault to begin with by giving us a chance to do that, why should they ban us for their own fault?"

but this is clearly an exploit no matter how ppl spin it....

and looks like instead of reporting the bug , ppl have been abusing it the whole day....for weapons/relic quest/ selling runs

That excuse didn't fly when the mass-Salvage ban occurred in FFXI. (For those who didn't know: there was an alliance-size event known as Salvage. It required 18 people. At the end of Salvage, you got a chest full of items. If you split up your alliance to three separate parties, the items in the chest would multiply -- thus allowing each party to get the items that were meant for the full alliance. So, there were now two more 'copies' of the original items.) When this exploit was discovered, SE mass-banned hundreds of exploiters with absolutely no mercy. I knew one person who wasn't even aware that the party they were in used this exploit until he was banned for it. I feel particularly bad for the people who were ignorant and were banned anyway.

With the Titan exploit... Well, I don't see them mass-banning people this early in the game... and even if they did, I don't think it would be as traceable as Salvage where the server 'knew' how many items it had given out to people. Winning Titan gives you the same amount of items whether or not you are using the 'glitch' exploit, so I'm not sure if SE could even track it if they wanted to. Perhaps they would know based on how long you were in the fight (3 minutes seems super short even for the best-geared and most skilled group)... but how could they 'prove' it?

I'm sure a game like this would log battle times with bosses. It shouldn't be hard for them to find groups that have killed Titan in impossible short times.

Thats like shoplifter saying that its not his fault that he stole stuff, since the shop didnt lock up all their goods or employ security cameras or guards.

Yes some did say that.
