That’s the comedy. Half the weapons don’t work or are exploitable, so wars are already unplayable; the duped items have crashed the economy, so gathering is pointless as well; and the duped gold is now purchasable with real cash, so end game doesn’t matter. My advice is to just stop playing until they hit a massive reset button on the entire game and pray they can recover from this PR nightmare.

That is why I say
Just read some of the threads in the forum to see the size of the problem they have in their hands right now.
Pretty sure I’m aware of who is bad here. I think AGS does have blame for not patching highlighted security issues but that doesn’t take away blame for those who engage in illegal activity. And yes, a ToS is a legally binding agreement.
Using the word “collusion” tells me all I need to know about the mindset being used here.

I disagree with collusion. I think it’s incompetence.

Bro, why wouldn’t you just play a real single-player narrative-based game? MMOs are always worse single player experiences by comparison.

My server is empty now, a gathering paradise.
The only thing I miss is the temporary storage for a small fee.
Gold dupe has existed since launch and was reported in the beta, as were a lot of the major issues that are hot topics around what diminishes the overall experience in this game.
They knew about this, as in a developer responded to the report in these forums to a post explaining exactly how to perform the dupe.
Another post on here pretty much states they have the tools to monitor all of the gold in the game.
The conclusions I can come to are that they do not have the tools to monitor all of the gold in the economy, or the gold dupe exploit was so minor that it didn’t warrant this until it leaked over the weekend.
Either way allowing a game to go live with a known gold dupe as easy to perform as this one is incompetence at best and intentional deceit at worst.
The issues with resilience and onyx gems mitigating all damage instead of critical damage has been known of for over a year.
Like seriously what the fuck?

By doing so they they preventem ppl from making huge amounts of money that they would need to track and take away which they will already have to do so but they just stopped increasing their workload…

The gold dupe is a problem that existed before the game went full retail, it was brought up by quite a few people in the beta testing phase that it existed. The loophole didn’t get closed. But I’m sure that now, somehow, AGS will fix it all Soon™
Exactly, exploiters are doing their job. AGS are not.
What is the point of disabling all trading but keep the game going, and don’t increase storage limits. We can’t sell anything, no one was warned beforehand so you’re stuck loaded up with gear.
It’s dumb. My first MMO, I never come to game forums, but this is a joke. If they are releasing a game you cannot play, then they should offer refunds. This is just like the Cyberpunk fiasco.
Wait until you hear that turning off all gold transfer has introduced a new exploit in which all companies can dupe gold and max out their banks.
It’s happening right now
Says the duper.
Wait. Explain it.

Going to provide a bad analogy. If the pipes in your basement break you turn the water off before you start pumping the water out. That way you are dealing with less water.
I kind of decided a couple of days in this is all kind of a test run. Even open BETA can’t compare to the sheer numbers when a game goes live. There were bound to be missteps. Granted there have been some really large problems that seem to persist. I don’t mind missing a feature for a day or two or even if the game is offline for a couple of days if the end results are a much better game going forward. I’m hoping to stick around and play for a very long time. I still play ESO and have since early access. I would like to do the same here so a few inconveniences now I’ve decided are not going to bother me.

Not bad analogy, it explains exactly why to disable a feature that you need to fix ASAP to prevent more damage.
Stock market crash or trade market crash…
So go farm it.
