I usually not post anything but this is getting out of hand…
First of all I think this expension is really good sofar we are having tons of fun, but in this early days beside doing campaign quests some M0 we like to spend our time with my feiends farming and getting some token with gold which is always a good competion between us and early of an expension it’s not a “waste of time” cause the hourly gold rate should be relativly good, but not now….
Either everyone changed there mindset and most of the people started farming or this KP exploit destroyed the market completly.
And lets be fair if all the expensions shown eith data that everything stays relativly high in the first 3-5 week than this needs to be this exploit which worn down the prices.
It stole the joy out of making gold if you invest your time and in my oppinion blizzard should deal with all these people who used this exploit, roll back , BAN, you name it.
I don’t know if this damage irreversable atp, and in 2 weeks when the season start I wont be bothert with it as much as I am bothered with it rignt now.
Hopefully there will be some visible changes cause I cannot be the only one who gets upset about this…
And somethingmlike this should not even happen , after all people reported it during beta test, and I know there are gazillion things to fix but cmoon thats why we are frickin payin monthly sub to play this game…
Or maybe, things are normal with how professions are at the moment?
The market is more than fine relative to an expantion start. The KP exploit wouldn’t have much impact, since you actually can have a specialist max out at doing a specific thing. The only thing that helps you is that you can max multiple things at the same time instead of needing multiple chars.
Not that they should not ban people that used the eploit. If anyone was dumb enough to do something that can be so easily tracked, he deserves to lose his account.
Nah you can easily google the exploit. He is right to not share about how to replicate it since it is against CoC of the forums.
The reason there is no big gap in t1 and t2 regeants is that there is no demand for r2 and there is huge demand for r1. At the moment everyone is leveling profs (which you need r1), and no one is crafting gear or consumables (which need r2).
In 2 weeks when m+ and mythic opens, you will see demand for r2 mats skyrocket.
With gathering it is way more complex.
The big gatherers are the ones that are multiboxing and are gathering multiple times what regular gatherers do. For those guys exploiting this thing is WAY more risky, because you risk to lose way more money due to the upkeep of your accounts.
Generally big fishes that have millions parked in their account are incentivized to not abuse this type of exploit when the upside is so small and you might actually lose more money with a ban.
Sensible not to mention details of exploits as it’s against the rules to post any exploit on the forums.
I live in hope that Blizzard will act but it’s very hit and miss what they deem worth punishing and it’s not going to undo all their gains while benefitting from it.
Whatever exploit being talked about does not even work, you just wasting time just do your crafting orders and you can easily be at around 111 knowledge points easily at this point already.
I would suggest how Blizzard can fix this, but not sure if i can its eitherway Blizzard own fault not the players fault, if the exploit at some point worked, they just have to do the knowledge point compensation for those that either missed it or adjust people down by lowering their cap equal amount of the extra points they gained extra.
I still find it BS entire expansion was ruined for me and they never compensated me for it, and yet bugs that where reported in beta get ignored and the game gets released in broken buggy state, with addon restrictions that make zero sense at all.
Like nothing has made sense at all since midnight and i sure hope they correct it early on instead of having to tell them i told you so for almost an entire expansion and them going full 180 right back where we where before midnight.
All they had to do is have their own addon hub for updating addons and recommending good addons to new players, but instead they choose to ignore it.
The exploit made the market unbearable. Either ban the people that exploited or give everyone catchup KP to keep up with the masses of alts that exploited from this and are now riding the gold wave. This needs a blue post right now
Brotherman those people literally got all their professions maxed out. It’ll take you months to max your KP as we get 13 per week + darkmoon faire once a month.
You ignoring first time crafts giving knowledge points to and first time node discoveries you can get about 80 in first week or so that does not include early access.
Every xpac so far got ruined by a certain exploit that few benefited from and ruined the economy to the rest… this one looks also the same with no punishment further encouraging the mantra of exploit early and exploit often.
I like professions and feel very sad that its handled like this, I am almost giving up because there is no profit to be made unless you have exploited or have a 100 alts army and play concentration which is very lame and boring.
legion lemix and the latest exploit directly contributed to the state we have now.
Of course it has an effect, you cant max anything now unless you have exploited and got tons of KPs… thats the point, those who got more KPs can get better into crafting something or improve their resourcefulness, multicraft or ingeniuty which is a big deal to how much profit you make in the end…
Yes it has an effect because even someone who got all their KPs the regular way is behind now those who exploited. Meaning a person able to mass craft r2 flasks without exploiting has no profit compared to the exploiters who have all resourcefulness/MC/skill anything maxed out.
This literally ruined the fun for people who enjoy crafting and the new crafting system, not to add up to the abundance rip off and gating epic tools behind rng, stealth nerf overnight and whatnot.
I understand not everybody is into crafting, but as much as there’s attention given to Housing, Collecting, Class tuning, Raiding, there should be given the same attention to things like that.
Back in TWW people who “exploited” the Weavers rep got suspended because it was rewarding crests before others, same in Emerald Dream with the seeds farming. Those exploits affected the raiding community and got immediately taken care of. Accounts suspended, rewards removed. Why arent the exploiters of the KP in Midnight affected?
This one is forgotten, not mentionned, just simply wiped off as if crafting doesnt matter.
