Seems legit.
Yeah, what were they thinking by trying to achieve anything? Far better to just lie down and die because if the Universe doesn't hand it to you on a silver platter it clearly isn't worth anything. After all trying could lead to success and everybody knows that being (more) successful (than they are) is eeeeeeviiil.Clearing the Eye said:

Draech mentioned TF2 having an exploit that could make Medics invulnerable, didn't see an Article here or 'customers' complaining about that (assuming he wasn't lying.)Clearing the Eye said:

Nevermind that the exploiter/rapist has to actively choose to do commit the action and take advantage.
Is that a bit clearer?
I took advantage of a glitch in wow. No 3rd party hacks or anything. Glitch caused a raid boss to keep respawning. So our guild got everything we needed, and were banned/suspended afterwards.DVS BSTrD said:
So yeah, they will punish the players for their bugs.
Because we all know no one has tried DRM, amirite. Maybe the notion of programming your game to fuck over the consumer will stop pirates from stealing your game! 'Cause no form of DRM has ever been hacked day one of release ;DAeshi said:

Totally legit.

Derp.
What do they care, they already got your money.....
Remember kids, bugs, exploits, and even gameplay doesn't matter at all. Only the amount of sales in the first 2 weeks.
Do you think D3 was a net increase or decrease for Activision's stock price? Just think about that the next time you have $60 burning a hole in your pocket, deciding where to spend it. Do you want to spend it on someone who actually cares about producing a good product or do you want to spend it on someone who only cares about the returns for the next quarter?

Comparing things is fun.
That sounds kinda backwards to me. I would thought it only be fair when the player exploits the game (ie using exploites like this one against computer opponents), and only not fair when the game exploits the player or when the player exploits other players (PvP etc.).DVS BSTrD said:
In any case, I'm sure Blizzard with have this patched up in no time so it'll soon be a non-issue.
Yet today's companies rely on patching the product, to be damned if its ready for release. It needs to be released now in order to appease accountants. It's pretty much a given that QA departments aren't as thorough as the were a decade ago, as you only had one shot to release.canadamus_prime said:
Maybe, maybe not. I don't know that for certain and neither do you. I'm sure there are developers/publishers that do that, but I'd like to think that the decent developers still try to nail as many of the bugs/glitches etc. before release as they can (presumably to try to minimize the relentless onslaught of whining).tehroc said:
Hahaha Blizzard fail so badly. This is all blowing up in their face, and I think they'll have lost a few fans since D3 was released. Every week there seems to be a new fuck up.
I wonder how long it will take to patch this, considering they take a cut of all real money auctions, they could actually make money off this exploit.

People really seem to have missed this gem of a link.Kross said:
This exploit has been known and exploited for well over a month and perhaps more.
This tremendously undermines the point of a real-money auction house when exploits can go untouched for so long.
in a perfect world yes, cause really thanks to the real money auction house, the longer they keep that bug in the more money top level wizards and blizzard themselves can make.Li Mu said:
if i go on a killing spree and start farming highest inferno acts on diablo now nonstop, even if i get banned tomorrow i will still have made money, real life money, selling items. and so will blizzard taking a cut.
this is not jsut a game having a bug that needs fixing this is peoples wallets we are talking about, mostly their own.
how is this even legal, is there a watchdog on this?
in the real world when coding goes wrong they probably lose money, here if frank the coder takes a 15 minute coffeebreak they prolly made 15k USD of that
RMAH was just the worst thing that could have happened for consumers in the long run. So yeah i do understand the guy when he says 3 hours is a long time, though realistically i see why it takes so long there SHOULD be superior quality control on this software, like actual banking software and government. But everyone keeps treating it like a normal game, it is not !
