There was no exploit. People were farming LIKE THEY SAID TO DO. Closing portals is not an exploit.

The rate they were spawning was not intended. That is why they stopped giving the chests.
It’s no different than people farming mobs that were instantly spawning that weren’t supposed to and leveling far faster than intended.
How you going to argue with them when they are literally telling you that they weren’t supposed to spawn that fast so until its fixed loot from them is disabled to prevent people from abusing it?
Which they will.

I farmed the portals for four hours this morning and received enough mats for 4 corrupted lodestone. they are bind on pickup. do the math on crafting dungeon orbs and come back to me that this game has a viable end game.
You need 10 of those to craft a genesis orb, plus 5 runestone (timegated mat), and a genesis core which requires 150 of each mote, and 3 of two types of legendary mats that drop RNG from elite chests in certain areas u can only run once a day.

How is simply playing the game exploiting?

This person is making so much speculation on HOW QUICK they were respawning by the dev post which says nothing about how quickly. For my server they spawned enough to keep the loop going with minor delays. They weren’t instantly popping up.
Yeah, making those untradeable to your local stonecutter who has the skill to craft said orb was a pretty lame thing to do.

Same on my server my man they where spawning at a rate at which you had to kill 1 or two more bosses plus ressing people . if you went to fast they would still take time to spawn it was like a perfect grind time,

If all the systems are being exploited says a lot about the company, doesn’t it?
I’m not saying coding is easy but everything is either bugged or exploited, seriously???
About Portals
600gs BoEs are already sold in the trade post for 1500gold. Might as well just keep them open for people to farm lol
Would take you less time farming iron ore and selling it till you get 1500g than actually farming portals to raise your watermark

You cant increase ur gear score past 591 unless ur in dungeons i thought. THere are people that have hardcore friends that could easily be 600 gear score.
apparently farming portals doesn’t even raise ur watermark…
aint no one farming dungeons, those orbs are insane cost and time sinks

The rate the portals were spawning is the same rate it has been since closed alpha, not a single thing different about it.
The only thing that happened is they nerfed drop rates throughout all of the rest of the world, and forgot to nerf these portals before they opened them up for us. I am assuming that someone at Amazon saw nearly the entire lvl 60 playerbase actually getting drops at an appropriate rate and thought it must be broken.

you seem to be confused. An Exploit is a Bug that is being used to benefit someone.
Is it odd that they use the word Exploit in this as if people were able to force these portals to spawn or trigger the faster spawning. I don’t believe that was the case though.
When I said bugged or exploited I meant either bugged = doesn’t work at all
Or bugged but working = people use it as an exploit.
In all honesty, I said it a million times before… people aren’t being banned for exploiting the bear leather spawn bug and it stayed there for weeks.
First impression is the most important
If you don’t ban me the first time, I’ll keep doing it again and again and again and again cause the people that are doing it arent being punished for it
This was such a bad move, makes me lose faith that they have any competence to fix this game.

Ashes of creation is right around the corner…I hope
that thing was broken.
They need to make the lack of content last a few months, they realized that a normal drop and spawn rate, portal would get everyone to 600GS in a matter of days. New world has NO ENDGAME, they kept the Azoth staff “BUG” for 3 weeks, that was done to gate the content, once they fixed it people rushed to portals and now they disabled portal rewards.
There is no point on playing this game if the devs are going to keep disabling rewards and endgame progress just because people are playing their game.
