This thread was taken down by BPG without notification or maybe a bug, either way here is the OP: from my POV: See people making 100k-3m in a matter of minutes in market sales because Mad Jick and possibly other defiance members duped gold and used it to buy items on the market place. What has happened to them? 1 day bans for some ( Including MariJane ) and perm ban for Mad Jick. EDIT: This has been extended to a 7 day ban pending investigation. What has happened to the 2.6 m gold donnador Got from it? TBD What about the 1.4M Gold Visas Death made from it? TBD 590k Grandaddy Perps made? TBD This needs to be fixed. Revert the sold items to the sellers, remove the gold they received and delete it. fix the dupe. I know other people used this and sat on it and cant really be found out, but this time it can be fixed and it needs to be. Sources: Chat Log, https://www.riseofagon.com/bans/
They are doing an investigation into 4+ people right now but IDK why they would take this down. Transparency is always better.
^Just incase we get some more "moderation". Why this wouldn't call for an immediate server rollback is beyond me lmfao.
Considering people (including myself) have spent a good chunk of real money purchasing things to sell on the Market for gold. This isn't something that should be covered up
Exactly. The Nithron Store makes this a huge deal. I wouldn't be surprised if most token/cash shop items were bought using this duped gold. --- Post updated --- of course it has, but its hard to track down until something like this happens. The important thing is that it gets fixed and then rolled back/ sales reverted items tracked down.
I've seen screenshots of 100+Million gold that aren't photoshopped, so this is a big problem. Also apparently this bug has been in and has been abused since the markets were implemented. I was told it was reported multiple times and wasn't fixed. (Can't confirm this part) - but BPG is digging an even bigger hole by not making a statement about this. Not good.. considering how they handled situations previously.
BPG not making a statement about this immediately is pretty concerning... doesn't look good for the game.
If it truly was reported, how the fuck do they not remove markets until it gets fixed? seriously.. IMO After the Relic, TC, Region updates, they should keep characters and holdings and houses, but WIPE ALL BANKS. a soft reset if you will to celebrate the new systems/fun
