I didn’t need to do any of those things to level up. I did town quests, because like other quests you’re supposed to do them and they offer amazing XP. I did also let myself die for a free teleport because it would be stupid not to, you’d triple the time it takes to complete all your quests, but as a trade off I had to spend a lot of gold on repairs… which is the whole point.
…when you started arguing against me when I was telling the OP that there’s still plenty to do, he was just too impatient about rushing to L60.
If you agree there’s still plenty to do, stop arguing with me.
Yeah, town board exploit.
The reason why most L60s exist in the game atm.
So its an exploit to finish the missions that the Town Board gives you? That’s a new one.
What type of content did you want to other than outpost rush. To be clear most mmos only have a small number of activities for max level players
Based on the developers repeatedly nerfing the town board, and one of them stating that it wasn’t intentional for players to only do town board missions over and over using death as a “free” teleportation mechanism - yes, I’m pretty sure that qualifies as an exploit.

I was willing to have a reasonable debate but saying this you’ve just lost all credibility. I “exploited” the game by completing quests… amazing.

If we would be still in the year 2005 this would be true. We’re in 2021, MMORPGs have developed plenty of activities available for max level players in the last 15 years.
I mean, it’s not my definition of it, but do as you will I don’t need to debate about it, I do town board missions alongside my side quests, I don’t teleport myself through death, I don’t go to spots just to farm exp…
I play the game properly and I just hit 51 from 149 hours.
So did I and I’ve been 60 for the last week. Your point being?
To be clear, any deviation from how you are leveling is considered not playing the game properly?
No…?
Again, it isn’t my definition. Someone posted comments from an AGS employee that was discussing in-game exploits and potential character resets and “town board exploits” were one of the listed things being explored.
Edit: the boarsholm farm was also a major talking point as well, which is why they nerfed the farm, and what began the topic of discussion about character resets from players found excessively exploiting systems.
Okay so only if AGS deems it an exploit publicly is it not proper correct?
?
I mean if the developers are saying it’s an exploit in their game, then I’m pretty sure that justifies it being called an exploit by players, right?
Agreed.
So death ports are proper.
Mass mob farming is proper.
Town board spam is proper.
Right?
Legitimately asking in case AGS called those out. Looking for some CYA ya know.
Oh, no. I don’t know where the discussion took place, some dude was talking about it in another thread and mentioned it was on a twitter/Reddit discussion.
Death porting intentionally isn’t “proper” but then I don’t know how they’d find out about that unless they’re monitoring outgoing damage too - seems too complicated to prevent tbh.
Mob farming obviously isn’t as they’ve already nerfed several mob farming sites - I don’t know if they’re going to actually punish players for this though, and again, how do they actually identify that? Do they monitor how long players spend in specific areas?
TB been a problem since closed beta, and they just keep repeatedly nerfing - I wouldn’t be surprised if they just reworked the TB entirely to prevent exploitation.

for example what?
no it doesnt, ppl found some exploitable bosses.
Called it.
Step 1: find a ‘trick’ that gains you fast xp
Step 2: quickly grind it to 60 before they find out and remove the trick
Step 3: complain
