Just heard a rumor that there is a dev that plays on sarlona and this exploit was their pet project and it escaped the bottle.

Nope, because the entire point is they need to act more quickly, as well as publicly label the actions not WAI and tell people to refrain from doing it with a reminder that those who dont will be banned. Most other MMOs do this, and it eliminates any conjecture, and stops the justifyers cold. Being all quiet and fight club about it only promotes an atmosphere of "exploit early and often" for those willing to do it.
Yep, sorta figured it out from reading the various threads. Of course I'm not gonna try it, but wow you think they would be all over the AS end of it since that affects their $s
What I dont get is why are people putting it on ah now when they could make 3 times more if they put it on ah in a month or so when it all normalizes?
Sadly most ingredients already have been worthless for over a year now. If a person cares to grind for it, nearly anything can be gotten within a day. This "thing" that is happening now only effects the people who don't care to farm for something and want to use that "WIN" button turbine was selling awhile ago.
So 2 weeks ago you could get 20 flawless green dragonscales for under 1 mil plat? What server was that, because it sure wasn't the case on Sarlona.
How about large devil scales for 9k a piece as I saw on the weekend?
And this is with a lot of people laying low because of the (small) chance of Turbine taking action. Just wait a few weeks until the crash really gets going.
Meanwhile: still not a peep out of Turbine.
Just because 20 flawless green are under 1 million plat doesn't make them worth anything. You can still farm 20 green scales in a day. To me that still makes them worthless. The price someone wants to pay for something is what makes the prices go higher or lower. So only people willing to not farm for there own things are the people taking advantage of the stuff offered on the AH now for such a discounted price.
Turbine won't say anything as you well know. They don't and won't comment on exploits plain and simple. I even saw a comment somewhere over the weekend from a Gm saying everything was working as intended.
To me, someone doing or using it will not hurt me, I will still do my own thing regardless. To people wanting to take advantage of an easy button, remember they will have to deal with the consequences if they feel what they are doing is wrong.
If/when it gets changed we will all know in some way shape or form.
Then you're using your own concocted definition of the word "worthless". In theory you can farm anything if you spend enough time at it -- that's not the point. The point is that before if you wanted one of these armors you had to put in a lot of effort most were not willing to do.
Even if I could farm 20 of them in a day, they'd have been worth a hell of a lot more 2 weeks ago than they are now. Getting a green dragonscale drop used to be something cool; now it's essentially meaningless. Same with a lot of other things.
I wouldn't mind the radio silence if they actually took prompt action. They don't.
I can't do anything about it.. other than cancel my subscription and go Premium. Which I intend to do. I am also right now downloading another MMO, the first I've tried since starting DDO in 2011. That's my comment on this exploit and how Turbine has chosen to handle it.
Whether they see more money from me again is entirely up to them. I'm not quitting, but I'm also not going to financially support a game company that can't even maintain the basic integrity of their own product. They need to get their act together. Soon[tm].
