Banning people for exploits

"
Hypothetically If someone had found that selling a level 20 gem with a single GCP gave back a 20 quality gem and then proceeded to sell 20 quality gems for huge profits while no one else knew the secret. You might reasonably say that person is exploiting a bug. Except they just used an unknown mechanism that GGG never told anyone existed.


Big difference between a recipe that was undiscovered (which GGG has been doing for years) vs. an exploit.
~ Adapt, Improvise and Overcome
Exploiters know that everything has already come to light and yet they still try to sell these items on POE Trade

And why, because they are not afraid that they may get some kind of punishment for it

Parody
Not that it matters much to many people, but I don't enjoy playing a game when watching exploiters run rampant. I haven't played since, but it's not like this league was holding me well anyways so it's a bit bias.
Wouldn’t it also be know if it is acceptable to use said weapons and armor? Since at this point they give you a significant advantage and I know many people myself included who would benefit from using such weapons and or armor as it is currently available…
Exploit early, exploit often a saying as old as time.

GGG never really banned people for such exploits and when thousands of people used an exploit like this, they can't ban everyone.

So next time, when everyone is doing an exploit, don't stand back and whine about it later. Join them.
I'll play some more now till I get bored, I have some fun at the moment farming Uber Sirus

However, I'm not going to the next league, I'm taking a longer break

The game has big problems RMT, Exploits, bugs

RMT is whack a mole, they can only do so much, but in some way it'll always exist.

My problem is the leagues are feeling more and more less polished, which means more bugs and exploits.

Concept of Necropolis was good, but it also felt like a huge step back regarding QOL features of the league.

I think as we get closer to POE 2, and the crunch is being applied to that, more and more resources will be pulled from POE 1, which will result in more exploits and bugs, and less polish.

Lets be real, they will prefer the majority of the player base switch to POE 2 on release, as most people will not be splitting their time between both equally, and most will be focusing on one game.

If 80% stayed back in poe 1, all the resources they put into poe 2 are kind of wasted in a ROI type perspective.

That's fair. I'm not because I dont expect every league to be bangers, and I know most games don't last near as long as POE 1 is.

Ironically, Last league was my favorite of all time, and this league is my least.

It's a can of worms I suspect GGG won't touch. They will delete as many bugged items as they can detect and maybe suspend some streamers if they actually did it on purpose and on stream with clear evidence.

Otherwise I don't think much will happen to players.


That'll set a BAD precedent. Exploiters will be emboldened if there is no real consequence for their actions. ='[.]'=


its alrdy happenin now - this leag full of exploits and bugs that exploiters alrdy abuse from very start and GGG do NOTHING!

theres ALRDY no real consequence for their actions!


GGG just promote abuse and exploiters that show this leag!
