Getting cheap points with multiple characters
" Thanks! " Qarl sees things as "good exploits" and "bad exploits" I'm not convinced he sees it as a bad exploit by his post, but I would like to see it changed. Personally I think there are far too few DChampions, but it's possible there are just too few in the times I can race. Most fun I have had this season was the lethal rogue race.I don't really care for races over ~100 mins, and I wish there were more BLAMT/lethal/etc. Really have no use for 3 hour party races.

The considered "bad exploits" receive hotfixes really fast and don't even get mentioned in patch notes.
Such as the Caustic Flask in Town+CI server crash,the Scouring Flask = No ilvl flask-->Hallowed in 28 PVP or the Cold to Fire damage overflow. There were more I am sure since I heard several rumors such as an exploit using eternal orbs. " If the first 3 areas would be more linear and DC would continue after Gravicius sure. But the first 3 areas are as bad as BLAMT Terraces.(Not damangewise but running in a dead end is pretty much the same as getting hit in Blamt) |

" According to the rules, you are not allowed to get points for multiple chars in EL/D, either. While in non-EL/D you have to overtly break the rule, in EL/D everyone implicitly breaks it when they die, recreate, and reach a level bracket. I don't see them banning/probating 100% of the racing playerbase though. This illuminates the absurdity of the rule (edit: post-Descent), given that it prevents us from practicing EL/D when we die. The rule actively tries to stop us from playing the game. :P I guess we could multi-account to not break the rule, never thought of that. Clearly they didn't revisit/review the rules when introducing Descent, to see how points for dead characters interacted with them. " Not AFAIK. " No, it isn't. One is allowed, and one is against the rules. Please stay on topic, jesus h. christ.

shouldn't != mustn't
Player A would receive 6 Points if he plays normally, so he creates several low characters to receive 9 points.-->3 unrightful points Player B is a glasscannon Damagedealer constantly abusing 1 player HP bosses. He received 10+ points abusing this exploit even 1 lightning attack by Vaal would kill him. I claim that a 6 player HP Vaal would have get him killed-->10+ unrightful points. Don't get me wrong both are exploits and I want them both to be fixed. But I can't stand it if players known to be playing with obvious cheaters, abusing other exploits defend their exploits but want others to be punished. I got several examples where the 1 player exploit prevents people from dying. |

Doesn't really sit well with me that people who work hard to legitimately place on the top 20 are getting ousted by people abusing this shit.
It may be boring as fuck all to do, but its safer than people who push hard to achieve equivalent points. I can see at least one guy in the top 20 doing this. Does he really deserve to be there? |

" Isn't he there because of total number of races participated in, though? I mean for someone to get top 20 overall they are going to get 7-10 points from levels consistently and 4-10 points from class place, for 11-20 points total. To beat even the low end of that someone would have to hit the second tier 3 times + 2 times the first tier or 4 times in a 2 hour. Anarchy/Onslaught T shirt

" There's 2. One of them has been doing it way more efficiently than the other. He had a 1 hour where he gained 13 points by creating 5 characters. Yes, 5. The other one has missed a total of 5 races that I've counted so far. There's a lot of fishy stuff going on here though, too. Current IGN: twitchtvTheuberelite

" Yes. The point is that you either place reasonable well and win via volume or you place extremely well and win via high point/race ratios. Both have risks as to GET a reasonable placement, you would have to push and progress. This however is circumventing that risk and farming easy zones (repeatedly). One can easily do the 4-5 point bracket multiple times within the same hour. That kind of player has no business being in the top 20. There's no excuse to this given the rules are clearly linked in EVERY race thread. Don't need to ban them. Set their points to negative (however much they abused) for every forthcoming season.
