WHAT IS GOING ON?
Thanks to the Glitched Gold inflation is even worse, +22 Regular Staff is now selling for 10Kg and a +20 for 1.3Kg now?
Guess they still have more players to go, considering the person who admitted it in all chat (see my screen shot earlier post) is still playing, chatting away in all chat and having a grand'ol time.
Next lets see what happens with all those weapons and players who Plus Glitched.
Examples:
1. Aren't there duped items still roaming around in the game?
2. Aren't there + hacked items still roaming around in the game?
3. What about the only time the Valorian team actually won the group tournament, but never received their weapons?
4. What about the items that were +'ed with the same glitch the first time around?
I'm sure there are many examples. Are all of these issues going to be rectified somehow? How can GF fix this, and still not do anything about the past?
I honestly don't see how they can fix this. I also don't understand why they didn't just shut down the server while it was happening to prevent further damage.
"2. Aren't there + hacked items still roaming around in the game?"...My understanding is they ban the account and not remove the weapons (this many not be the case now). If the player(s) sent them to another account, the weapons would still remain on the server.
"3. What about the only time the Valorian team actually won the group tournament, but never received their weapons?"...There have been multiple issues with the Tournaments on both sides. Not sure this issue fits here.
"4. What about the items that were +'ed with the same glitch the first time around?"...Great question! In this thread ( http://board.gatesof...hlight=concerns ) Prism stated...
I can assure you that we can easily tell those who glitched, and those who were just innocent when it came to the glitched weapons. This servers database keeps impeccable logs. I can also assure you that GameForge is taking the proper precautions when it comes to this matter. It may take awhile because it is going higher than just the GM staff but the issue itself is being handled. Thank you for your time.
This month I opened an official ticket and have received no response to date. I would hope GF was still working on it and maybe did not consider it a high priority issue and they still had time to deal with it? However, if something was done the first time, then maybe all the players this time would have made a different choice and not took advantage of the Plusing/Gold Glitch.
"I'm sure there are many examples. Are all of these issues going to be rectified somehow? How can GF fix this, and still not do anything about the past?"...This time I feel that the number of players involved, +20 and higher items involved, amount of hacked gold now on the server and the number of people complaining is so great I think GF has to do something.
"I honestly don't see how they can fix this. I also don't understand why they didn't just shut down the server while it was happening to prevent further damage."...Awesome question, but I might have an answer and it might not be the right one. When the DC'ing began, the online GM at the time reported it and made some posts in Admin Chat that only people online at the time could see, it was not very consistant/frequent in the beginning. Even when Avalok posted in Admin Chat, the last GameManagement person I saw online that day/night, the issues just started to get worse.
As the day/evening progressed and more and more people started to log in, it got unbearable! I honestly do not think GF itself was informed of how severe the issues were and how many players were taking advantage of the Gold and Plusing Glitches.
Hope some of this helps, some of what I wrote might be right and some might be wrong, but at least I tried to answer to the best of my ability!

"1. Aren't there duped items still roaming around in the game?"...That was before my time here on GOA. I have heard that there are duped weapons on this server.

At the time things started to get bad I was at work at my rl job, during the day the dc'ing had stopped, but from what i understood later that evening it had started to occur again where things started to happen, I came online at approximatley 11:30pm my time which is north american central time...that puts it about 6:30 am germany. I sent an emergency notify once i saw what was occuring, to which gf did respond, however the situation wasnt simple a fix as shon had stated earlier up, had of i not been at work gf probably would have been notified earlier, so i do appologize for the time it took to get gf notified. However, gf has said to us admins that this will be resolved and those who abused anything will be punished, though it may not happen instantaneously, I can assure you theres nothing they can do to evade what is eventually coming to them.
cheaters will not be taken lightly nor will exploiting a broken server be taken lightly, atm though you have to understand we need directives from gf, to make sure we are punishing these people well within in the rights of the german t&c's.
and yes Gf was informed of the severity of the situation, because I informed them.
so you all know i pretty much stayed up all night to find a gf coma , to which i did to state the whole severity of the situation.

We do appreciate ur time spent in handleing and working on the issue..... But.....
1) this is not the first time this has happened
2) No action was taken on the first time it did happen
3) I do understand this takes time to investigate and fix
Now as to how this was handled the first time this happened how are we (the players/ custumers) sappose to believe that anything will actually be done this time?
Sum of us have spent alot of money to get where we are in this game. Now it looks like GF really doesnt care about their paying players.
It would be good if sum postive actions could be shown by GF (realatively quick) to maybe give the paying players a reason to stay, cause I for 1 are hanging up my GOA boots due to lack of action by GF on 2 simalar events realitively close together.
