Consider this a warning. (PVP/etc exploits)

This is how you get your balance in the PVP economy set to -150,000, and simultaneously lose any semblance of trust the administration has in you.

*Apparition230 trolololol

I once got banned off a ragnarok server like that, except I got busted botting.. the only difference is that I was sold out by some bitchy guild mates that didn't like me much

Still don't believe me that app was cheating in PVP?

We didn't cheat in PVP, and we weren't intending to cheat here either.

This contraption was mostly a joke, we though it'd be funny if we suddenly had millions of plops. Honestly, think about it... If we wanted to truly exploit this, we would get a few thousand at a time, not 10s of thousands. Clearly we knew it'd be noticed when App made so much over night.

This was just intended to point out a flaw (that applies to more than just loggers, btw.) We transfered all our legit money to me before starting so that we'd know exactly how much was exploited. We didn't take in to account that App would become a level 9001 logger.

Also, if you look at what I said from the logs... "He'd derp," I didn't expect thal to care too much, since he knows we wouldn't actually use plops we exploited like that. It was just supposed to be a comical display of a potential bug, to be fixed before someone really exploited it.

So yeah... no harm intended. I heard the piston lagged the server pretty bad, apparently... but we didn't expect that.

Thalagyrt

Should have just told me, to be honest. There are flaws in all of those jobs that need to be fixed - that'll take time, and it'll happen from people reporting the flaws.

Naosyth

Yeah... but still, its fun to suddenly have 2050280921521 plops and have people be all o_O

Wait, You get plops from just doing you profession? Thats silly, be like me and earn your monies!

Yep. The store system in a future update (probably in a week or so) will take sales tax on items, and I probably will do the same with the normal iConomy system. Also, claiming money for a faction costs money - Phoenix is now paying around 1000 plops per chunk. It starts low and goes up pretty quickly.
