Exploit punishments happening?

Steven are exploits allowed or what? With how many people that have exploited for gold, items, and/or EXP the economy has been destroyed! Here many of us stand wondering, even begging for any information on how this is going to be handled. As a player I would be extremely discouraged to see you do nothing, these exploits have been used by some guilds so only doing something to "the worst" ones doesn't seem like a fair punishment. Now some have exploited and are even bragging about how "untouchable" they are. What do the developers plan to do about these testers?

It sucks but it serves a purpose. People should be reporting not exploiting. But it's better exploiting now and at lunch. It's our job to suffer through this so that people with thinner skin at launch don't Have To Rage Quit. Good time just like last time Steven will respond. There will be action taken. This is his baby and he's not going to let it be ruined by a bunch of morons.

They are not setting the example they think they are by not dealing with these people quickly.

They are people as well who took off Christmas. Give them a break to get their feet under them :P

Well aware of that but Steven sure jumps on Youtube quick enough to comment, so I'm not so moved by the holiday situation.

There still has been no mention of this from staff.

Steven was forced to do damage control when Narc started tossing out lies. It could have been Christmas day and he would have done this. Speaking of Christmas day.... Steven took the time while travel and spending time with family to put a warning out on the war dec spamming. He also spent a little time in discord general chat.

I see a lot of people complaining about exploiting, I bet not every one of these reported the exploiters though....

They most likely won't do anything

Why are you assuming they are going to do nothing, sounds like you are trying to be edgy and have not been following the alpha phase 1. Exploiters had their characters deleted..

Steven should make a banishment server and transfer all exploiters there. Lock the account to only that server. Let the exploiter feel some of the grief of trying to compete when others that are ruining the game experience for you with exploits. See how long before they get fed up with the crap they are doing to testing servers. Just my 2 cents.

Damn man every comment I ever write I can look for you to jump in and be like this? Okay if you want my reasoning why I don't think they will do anything here it is

In phase 1 characters were deleted for duping which was a far more serious exploit than what has happened in P2

In P2 no dupes have occured, what was " exploited" was using positioning of mobs to get an advantage, but this exploit was not even really beneficial till you hit carphin and everyone that thinks that people got insta 25 is wrong, they probably hit 25 maybe 10% faster, and the people that are upset over it were so far behind when this happened that they would not have even been contesting the same mobs

The main guild doing this bug was enveus but not only enveus.

but this guild has been hand held for the past 6 months by intrepids team, given prio access to pre phase 1 due to being an enveus guild member over others that bought into the same bundles, they have had devs giving insider info on discord since before alpha 2 even started they have been allowed break the nda without consequences and much more so I doubt they will get punished for pulling some mobs into a safe spot

Then you have the other exploit which was guild war rewards, this was done by multiple guilds but this was. A thing 3 weekends into phase 1, it was heavily heavily reported and not one thing was done about it, then we went into phase 2 this being a known bug, and if intrepid can't just turn off rewards phase 2 if this had been happening for months already at that time, anyone that did this could argue that this was intended game design ( not saying it is or I believe it is before you put words in my mouth )

Furthermore if bans or resets were going to happen it would have happened, it's been almost 4 weeks, it took intrepid a few days to reset dupers
