I'm so glad they're backing up their words with action and banning these people. This should serve as a strong warning to any players thinking about cheating, which would ruin the game.
Where’s my behoove? Give me the BEHOOoOoOVE!
Down with exploiters, Down with Bots, Down with Gold Buyers, DOWN WITH TOXIC PLAYERS! AoC is not for you!
I bought Alpha 2 access last night because of this. I was going to wait, but decided to donate the extra money due to their heavy handed approach to cheaters.
A bit sad that they did not revoke their alpha access
Imagine paying a couple hundred just to get banned before release
I do not know all of the factors surrounding every individuals' case of alleged and/or definite exploitation(s) in this matter (amount of/hand in the involvement, how much of the involvement was intentional and/or participated in knowingly, nor how so etc. etc.). If anyone did get reprimanded and/or punished while also possessing degrees of ignorance to their part in and/or of the very existence (etc.) of the matter I may to a degree feel bad for them. That being said, I don't know whether or not any of that has happened. Assuming there hasn't been any, or only to a small degree (all parties involved are capable of fallibility etc. as all human beings are capable of, have, and will make mistakes), my faith in/respect of Intrepid's principles (that I'm learning more about through Intrepid's responses to some matters like this) has grown. Thank you for posting, excellent points discussed/considered relating to the matter/conversations I think😄
Unfortunately, deleting the characters doesn't really do anything. If someone is willing to exploit this hardcore in an Alpha, then they have no interest in the game being successful. The accounts and the CC's that paid for them shoulda been blacklisted and thrown out. Letting these players stick around is a huge mistake, and they'll pop up again. A huge missed opportunity for AoC.
Kinda grateful to all the people who are trying exploits. Allows for implementing and tesring anti-exploit systems during development.
Edit: okay, so it's bad if it gets in the way of the testing focus of the devs
isnt this what destroyed new world? besides it just being a mediocre game
Totally agree on what kills games. Exploits and cheating need to be checked early and often.
How's 1h and shield on fighter No1??
Cheating in an Alpha…wow…..loser city…..just laughable…
Some people have too much time on their hands from Ddos attack to dupping items in an Alpha 2 video game. Maybe they should get a job or another hobby in life.
Most lame-braned response someone in discord had.
"People who reported it still got punished"
… yeah but did they continue to do it after they report it?
Recognizing it is an exploit means not continuing to do the thing after you let the devs know .
Thank you for simplifying this. I've been enjoying ESO for the past 10 years so clearly my brain doesn't brain so good.
Ignorant opponion here: I don't think these players should be banned. By all means take away their stuff, find ways to revert the changes, and reset their characters. I get that it makes it harder to test things, and fix things, but it's better to learn to struggle during the alpha then when people do this stuff for real during the live release. Then absolutely ban them during the live release if they do stuff like that
It was said, since A1, that they monitor and tack ALL TRANSACTIONS on the servers.
They are being very generous here.
But know, if you duped more than once and *did not report it*, your account is Flagged Forever.
Second time doing *anything wrong and not reporting it*, you are likely going to be perma-banned.
There will not be any appeals. LOL
