You shouldn't abuse "THE" exploit

I mean people abuse sprint canceling while double gunning to get an advantage in PVP and steal loot. They abused double bucketing to double your bilge speed. I mean this game has a spaghetti code. They add one thing and 4 things break. If it's in the game why not use it like all the other game-breaking things that have never been removed?

@pithyrumble Lets be honest here, The only way you will get caught doing this is by streaming it or posting a video on youtube shows your acct name or something. With the code in this game They will have no idea of how people earned their gold.

@pithyrumble I mean if they do something like your mentioned they better be paying us back for all the gold we have spent on saving our ship cosmetics only for it to not save the cosmetics and have to spend it again. Which wont happen.

@pithyrumble agreed, I dont think they will do anything until its patched or extremely abused. I mean no one got banned or lost gold when you could buy infinite commodities and sell them when those came out.

Posting about it just encourages others, then we have partners lying to people saying 'you'll be banned' when no one is going to be banned from doing the exploit. infact it isn't even an exploit. It's a bug that is all. Rare go with the 'tools no rules' they'll have acknowledged the bug and working on a patch. People need to stop getting so irate and focus on their own gameplay and not others that are simply using the tools they was provided. Unless its toxic behaviour or cheating then its no concern of ours how others play the game.

People acting like it's not a big deal and just some gold cheese when it's wrecking the servers it is happening on, ban or not ban the game running terribly is not good for activity and only feeds into the narratives that the game is broke, that people are cheating, etc

Many people have no idea this is even a thing, all they know is that their experience was laggy as hell, the experience wasn't pleasant because of it, it interfered with their session, and they might just go play something else.

I've randomly run into this nonsense multiple times and what it's doing to the server is ridiculous. Easily can run people off the game.

All the lag worsens hit reg issues and combat anomalies and just creates more cheating accusations.

@wolfmanbush Great, then its up to Rare to fix the exploit, not punish the players.
Its literally toxic to wish these players to be banned for that.

Knowingly causing damage to servers goes far beyond gold cheesing or harmless advantage

Toxic? it's worsening the experience for everyone else on the server. They aren't victims. They aren't innocent when they do stuff that significantly affects others negatively.

@faceyourdemon said in You shouldn't abuse "THE" exploit:

@wolfmanbush Thats on Rare to fix, not us to take responsibility.

All this talk really makes me want to try it myself (Not that Ive got time to play)

I'd say it's on both

especially the longer it goes on and the worse it gets

@pithyrumble said in You shouldn't abuse "THE" exploit:

Players shouldn't be banned for finding a hole and sinking the ship. A formal, punitive reaction is reasonable. Reset guilty Players to before they started exploiting it.
You have the data.
You can do it.

Anyone asking for player bans found out about it after Rare noticed it and should be marked for review.

Y'all mad you missed out.

Or some people knew about it the entire time and decided that gold isn't worth sacrificing the quality of life for others.

There are going to be consequences to activity even if nobody wants to take responsibility. The game running poorly and causing weakened experiences harms us all in the end. There is no abundance of interesting server activity here, people's individual experiences being negatively affected by things like this ends up negatively affecting all by people being less motivated to participate.

It will all be ok people, this too shall pass. Enjoy it while it's here and go buy your DA sails. Not like having more gold let's you buy top gear in a game and have an advantage over them. I think the unlimited supplies at sea dog tavern was worse because that gave an advantage to people with more gold than beginners. That too passed and all is OK 👍.
