This is not a technicality. You definitionally labelled everybody that did not agree with you as malicious or intending to aid or commit crime.

I cannot say that your opinion regarding bans does not matter, but you discredit yourself with these kinds of contradicts within the same day.


I fully believe most players would use this "exploit" if they knew how, and it was still in the game. Specifically because if it was left in the game after GGG learned of it, that by itself would acknowledge it is part of the game.

Good on GGG for acting quickly on this one unlike the anarchy ember T17 ghost farming nerf delay.

Excuse me, but are you intentionally ignoring the word "potentially" in my statement? Do you not understand what that means?

You are going out of your way to defend exploiters by equalizing their actions to those who have done the same either led by curiosity or ignorance, why?

Feel bad for the GGG team that allowed this to happen. They are now are going through every single character, stash, and item to ensure that there are no 1 handed items with more than 3 sockets, no belts with more than 1 socket, no synth jewelry that should not have a socket with a socket, no items with cannot have sockets with sockets, no heist enchant reducing sockets with 6 sockets. All while not harming legitimate unset corruption rings with extra implicit from vender corrupt.

This is a massive undertaking and will cost features in the next league.

If you know anything about coding, it is just some sql statements through an item database and you are done. GGG doesn't need to do that manually lol.


Now back on topic, those who clearly made multiple of bugged items and put them for sale, should get perm ban. And while you are at it, you should also ban all those cheaters that buy mirrors for hundreds/thousands of dollars. You know shitty watchers or legion jewels that get "traded for mirrors". And then post a list of all those banned.

Ignoring the word potentially? no? It clearly said "potentially driven by malicious intent, to either commit, aid and abet crime or evade prosecution for such." as in potentially one of these possible illegal things. Your wording did not allude to the possibility of anything else.


What? "equalizing their actions to those who have done the same" ???? what are you saying? This I am failing to understand what it means.

I feel unsafe when normal gameplay mechanics get labelled as bannable exploits by others only through their personal opinions. GGG did not ban anybody because nobody used an exploit here. The craft functioned exactly as it said, "adds maximum possible sockets" its just that the code to limit that maximum was bad. GGG is also spending hundreds of hours to remove the items, so why you feel the need to attack players that just play the game?

If you uncover an exploit in Path of Exile and abuse it for your benefit, we will ban you.

the coding is simple. The actual code is far more complicated than you seem to think because they cant fuck up and hit legit items during this. That would be far worse to harm innocent players haphazardly than leaving the exploit items in.
