Mass Ban people who exploit currency so bad it trashes the economy.

"
The actual current problem is easy to see: legacy temples. For those poe1 gamers just coming in here to (rightfully) trash the OP, GGG decided to nerf the league mechanic in a specific way which blocks anyone from building OP temples.
But as for the OP temples already existing, they still do. And they do not decay. You can block effectively any change of your temple when you are at this point.

Simply put, the rich guys keep their op temples while the slower casual gamers or just guys who where in the midst of rebuilding etc are basically fucked.
This will further escalate the whole issue. Its not about some dudes exploiting a mechanic for profit, Its some dudes exploiting a mechanic for profit while GGG blocks all other players from doing the same.

Pretty stupid right?^


I would agree that ggg shat the bed with this one.
But can we pls be carefull with our language here.
There was no bannable exploit, zone resetting is core part of poe, this is 100% on ggg and not on any player "exploiting".

Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them

Sorry I didn't mean exploiting in the abusing a bug way but as in "exploiting a resource" that others don't have. there was(is no cheating involved, even the snake functionality had to be a planned feature. The also dropped the ball on not realizing players would totally use this to build unplanned temples.

O, i should have been more precise myself, i knew what you meant and agreed with your post, was more talking about ppl in general calling this a bannable exploit.

Isn't PoE 2 still in "alpha"? Why should they ban exploiters?

I thought it was best to have exploits discovered while the game was still in "alpha"/"beta" than once released.

Why are people treating PoE 2 as a finished game? I assume most players complaining never did or worked in Software QA.
Pff, who even plays Standard?

And it's not the first time they've done something like this.
At this point, I expect more from the company that has been runniung a rather successful game for 12+ years.
In this case: Keep the "unwanted" behaviour for the remainder of the league.
Let everyone get "rich".
It's a game "economy", after all.
Those break all the time.
A sword he brought, his foes to maim and rend,
from places dark behind forbidden doors,
But night by night he woke with frighten'd roars
from darkest dreams, too strange to comprehend.

No one knows dude some threads get moved immediately and other times they're like "nah, we cant be bothered"
The opposite of knowledge is not illiteracy, but the illusion of knowledge.

I am an average gamer that plays slightly more than the average person. I was loving poe 2 playing the demon bear. I was pushing through endgame and making some money to save for big ticket items to improve my character. I take a break from the game over xams for three days and when I come back divines have doubled in price because of some stupid temple exploit. The price of items on trade are still the same but now it's going take me twice as long to get them. This will make a lot of people just quit or force people onto the exploit bandwagon which just intensifies the problem.

This is serious problem that is happening time and time again and requires serious action!! Ban the 1%er's that spread these exploits and everyone that jumps right on it even if there is backlash! The overall health of the game will benefit. The 1%er's don't actually care about the game just how quickly they find any exploits or things broken to continue to fuel the greed.

I know people will say you can't ban gamers that are smart enough to find things within the game the make stupid amounts of money stupidly fast, but I say Ban them anyway to cut the head of this ugly snake that continue leave a bad taste in the mouth of the general player base.

Thanks for your time


Easy solution: play SSF.

You don't have to worry about any currency trading bullshit, and you can invest the free time in actually playing the goddamn game.

What core mechanic in the game requires resetting an instance a player is using? Instance reset is not a core mechanic, it is a debugging tool for users to be able to reset an instance when something else has failed.

What? Zone resetting is a core part of any(wel most) arpg, thats how you farm this dates back all the way to diablo.
In poe it's not that needed anymore cause we have maps, but even in poe it used to be a big thing, like ledege farming or dock parties.
It is literally what it's there for.
