Just further proof that some employees already knew about it, covered it up, and kept the other employees in the dark.

This is not surprising. When a daily reset glitch happened a while back on all servers (I guess it was 2 years ago now...wow) no one really cared to have it fixed. I think it went on for over 2 weeks, but not longer than a month, before it was fixed. Used to be server-sided though and dailies reset like 20x each night between 1am and 5am.

Being that it is an exploit...it is what it is. I know a lot of players are happy when stuff like this happens in their favor and they feel it makes up for any other "wrongs" in the game, but that doesn't really make it ok. =/ And I'm sure that players are aware of that too.

In order to figure out how it's happening, staff can try to rely on reports if they feel confident in the honesty of their users. But if they're making no headway there, they should really use their personal characters to actually log into the game and figure out how it's being done. Staying away from the game, remaining aloof, not interacting in-game with their players...I'm not really surprised that they're not getting anywhere. It's a nice notion to believe that everyone is hush-hush in game when something like this happens, but we know there's always one loud mouth among a server full of players who likes to "spread the good word." So if this issue is truly a priority, the staff just needs to get in-game and find out for themselves.

I've seen other games by Frogster have similar issues with players that exploit. It is a slim hope that someone will come along and report how things are done, but if you're actually in the game, you'll find a lot of players talk about it or are at least willing to mention it via PMs.

Anyway, I've never played on Reni, but I'm amused by the situation.

Full details need to recreate this bug were already posted in forums, several weeks ago. Google caches proves this.

when i first started playing RoM gm's were on all the time, player base was mostly happy even though there were/are alot of bugs in game. and most importantly gm's played the game on there private accounts and interacted with players.....(i miss those days lol) if you want to know whats happening in game? it might help if you took a few mins and go there

like some others have said before...why should i play RoM when the people who work on the game wont even play it?

Note to those who dont know yet its not frogy running the show any more, its "gameforge"

just another request to the gm, can you at least disconnect the gold sellers before you log out? there not really that hard to find, they are at the same places they have been for years.

This exploit has been going on for so long... the number of botters has increased more lol.

The fact that people are turning to botting an exploit just to get more tp makes it pretty clear that our current tp system is broken. It also shows a solution: you can convince people to push content by giving xp and tp for completing instances. And I dont mean just the xp/tp you get for running and killing the mobs. I mean tp/xp in the form of a repeatable quest, or orbs, or something. A large tp bonus, equivalent to 1/2 or 1 level for one skill per run. A level 55 instance should give enough tp to give 1/2 of a level to a level 55 skill (For any class who runs it. If i am level 72, but short on tp, i should be able to do a repeatable quest in dl to get my tp up to snuff ... or at least up to lvl 55). A level 72 instance should give enough tp for 1/2 or 1 level at lvl 72 for a skill.

I generally dont enjoy chaning the base functions of a game, i know that you can tp farm by killing endgame mobs with xp/tp pots on, but that method of gaining tp has just resulted in players setting up bots to kill mobs and to take advantage of glitches like this one on reni. The only reason i propose a change to the way our dailies and our tp system work is because it needs a change.

FYI this has in fact been an exploit since before Chapter V. From what I've gathered, there are multiple ways to trigger it, as the players who have explained to to me have explained it in wildly different ways.

PLz stop with this crap of... WE RELY ON YOU TO TELL US WHAT THE PROBLEMS ARE>..Play your own damn game and find out!!!!!!
Seriously, you should have one GM on EVERY servor constantly, JUST so you guys know what is goin on with your game.. theres a MILLION things you guys dont know about, that people really dont care to tell you, because submitting tickets is more of a pain then ever before! Nobody wants to minimize their game, bring up internet, go to your site, find support, log in, fill out giant form, etc etc etc.
When before it was a matter of hitting escape.. go to report bug or whatever it said, give a title... and write something short and sweet and to the point... and go back to whatever ur doin in game within a minute.
BUT you guys wouldnt be sooooo flooded with reports and bugs, etc if you actually played. Ill throw 100 bucks down saying that you guys would find and fix things sooo much faster if you were actually around to see them happen, and even just having a GM presence around will make peoples spirit rise some just playing.

Due to advantage this gives to reni server, I hope they will be removed from siege roster or at least limited to sieging with guilds from their server only.

Are you suggesting punishing the entire server? That is a bit far fetched because I am sure not everyone was aware or using it. Trust me, after the changes to my warden/warrior, I need as much TP as anyone else and yet I refuse to use this glitch even though I know how to recreate it.

Best thing that has ever happen to the server in my opinion. Shame they took away rubies on token items.....

... and more posts deleted. I wonder if that is just part of the cover up, or if someone that is in the seat of power is finally doing something to correct this exploit?

SEVERAL of mine have been deleted. One was censored but not deleted. Several more have just been outright deleted.

edit: At least this thread is still open. Many such thread have been deleted over the past several weeks. I am finding it harder and harder to believe that the CMs never heard of this exploit, until now.

Posts questioning "but we did not know" statements and arguing that exploit and details how to recreate it have been reported (and repeatedly deleted) few times over the last few months on these forums and pointing to google cache to support that argument are getting deleted.
