I think his point is more that there is no evidence to the fact that AGS can track this sort of stuff - and, rather, there is circumstantial and anecdotal evidence to the contrary - nevermind take any action on it.
So, you’re supposition has a logical flaw to it, which renders the conclusion questionable.
My conclusion: I paid to play this game in it’s fully functional state, not disabled because of detractors or idiots trying to make money off of some perceived slight. Just fix it without it impacting my game play.
Last I’ve heard people who duped gold and items got a 24 hour ban and got to keep the items. So I’m having a hard time believing they will actually ban anyone.
Honestly, if people weren’t abusing an exploit, then they wouldn’t close the trade post. the bugs shouldn’t be there, but, like every mmo, there will be bugs. Just like there will be players that exploit it.
Honestly, I agree. As someone who often frequents the TP to turn a profit, I am now stuck over encumbered b/c I canceled a few items and didn’t realize I couldn’t relist until it was too late. Now I’m stuck in town over encumbered and literally can’t play the game.
