Items/assets from exploits

[c_jay223]

Further clarification is always a good thing. We have been given a broad answer in regards to this subject, but now a more detailed one is being asked and should be addressed. Nostalrius officials, please recognize this question's validity and supply it with an answer.

-- Cheers.

These things need to be dealt with and it needs to be transparent and seen by us (players).
I see alot of players losing faith in the server. In fact both the guilds (Phase and mofoblitz) I've joined since I started on Nostalrius have disbanded and gone elsewhere, because of the "corrupted GMs, exploits, dupes, crashes" that they say are prominent on the server.

I'm quite happy on Nostalrius, with the general game mechanics and the way the server runs (little to no lag and few crashes), but this is frightening me. Is the server really as infested with exploiters as they claim it to be? Are GMs really corrupt (and if so, how? Spawning gold? Items? Unwarranted bans?)?

If you leveled three weeks ago you'd get 30+ greens and 10% chance on rare epics per dungeon and that's bannable.

In other threads I've suggested Ragnaros' loot table be purged from account inventory. Any item, any account regardless of who and for what reason. This is not the same as banning players but at the same time it removes items that were clearly obtained from bugged content. I think this is a good compromise.

This is what needs to happen in order to uphold the rule of no exploiting. If players are allowed to keep these items, it validates those exploits and sets unfair rules for people who are punished for exploits later on.

I agree. Waiting for answers...

Same here. Something needs to be done. As far as I know, nobody profiting from the Ragnaros exploit has been punished. Which is utterly ridiculous, and unacceptable, if that's the case.

This absolutely needs to be addressed in a transparent and more defined manner.

Its too late to fix the mess that was caused with the absurdly high drop rates on world greens, blues and epics for the first few weeks on the server, the first couple dozen people to hit 60 were able to take advantage, intentionally or unintentionally and were able to fund their epic mounts or to afford really good gear and the rest of the server is left in the dust because they never got that opportunity due to just being behind on levelling. Its honestly sad how slow the Nost devs have been about reacting to these raid boss exploits that utterly trivialize the encounter, free loot should NOT be allowed to be kept.

[Relearn]

Can we stop crying about rag loot. 1 guild abused it to get their kill, and I would bet anything that they would have killed it later that night if they had wiped on their pull. MC is easy if its scripted right and outside of that one mechanic, which broke after they fixed some other small bugs (Sons spawn point, Animations), it is and was scripted right.

[Blaze]

Can't really fault guilds for clearing Ragnaros as it was scripted on the server, at the end of the day it's ultimately the devs fault for it being released in that state. If you pull rag and he starts bugging out like that you're going to kill it just like they did.

Guilds like <Ridin Dupey> on the other hand that blatantly exlpoited the alt + f4 instance reset bug should have their loot taken at the least. Balding Beab is gonna get caught mark my words boys.

It's hyperbole and nonsense.

Nostalrius admins, please read this thread thoroughly and take note of it's participants opinions. This is the heart and soul of your server, and we cannot sit idly by as the fragile foundations of this private server community begin to show cracks. Please, developers, bring out your tools and repair this foundation!

Issues address here are always at the top of every persons mind, whether they be a hero killing the evil General Drakksith or a lowly upstart, searching for Maude's golden ring. The two weeks of Ragnaros epics that dropped will surely send reverberations throughout the server, belittling that same heroes quest to kill General Drakksith, and even persuading Maude to not care about the reclamation of her golden ring!


I implore you to look at the big picture here, and take action accordingly! I would also suggest you begin to take a formal role in the tracking of server firsts. As Dreamstate has killed the only working Ragnaros, I would think it obvious they be titled the server first guild. This is a minor issue, but it is surely tied into everything stated in this thread as well as my very own post.


Thank you for taking the time to read this.
