General Discussion - People exploiting reverse knockback... - Forum

" Nevzat wrote: Yah, as was the exploit that was printing divines from sanctum. No one got banned when 60 divines dropped from a sanctum. The only difference was there were reputable streamers that straight up said this is wrong ,and left the divines on the floor. Unlike streamers like Zizaran/Steelmage that instantly posted youtube videos of the exploit and told everyone to do it. Just because people aren't banned doesn't mean its an unintended abuse of ingame mechanics which everyone knew it was. It was a cheese afk farm strategy and they felt it necessary to use it to progress. Weak. I called it and it was deleted within 24 hours. I think that's clear enough it was an exploit. Have a good day :) You can justify it how you want, it's now deleted because it was obviously cheating. Carry on justifying that it was Just. an "in game mechanic" though :) That was a bug in sanctum that was fixed pretty fast. With knockback it was clever use of a mechanic that was in game long before even you. That was NOT an exploit. Nothing states anywhere that you have to kill enemies in ToTA.

My very first serious build (2nd char) in PoE was a cyclone, reverse knockback bleeder. Good to know things have gone full circle to where they were.	Posted by hasatt0 on Aug 26, 2023, 8:03:49 AM Quote this Post
Great, one league when I actually have motivation to grind and starting to have decent amount of currency it gets flushed down the toilet by this kind of stuff. What a great community this game has, instead of reporting this and asking for instant fix people just abuse it till the very end. Go team! :)	Posted by Affarox on Aug 29, 2023, 2:00:21 AM Quote this Post
