Hello Brista, welcome to the Lounge. Please leave. I dislike any and all who cheat, or use exploits. I define an exploit as an unintentional game 'feature' that causes harm to to the stability of the game, the play of other players, or abuses the system in some way that is detrimental to gameplay. To use an exploit is to use (intentionally) a bug to do one of the following
- Harm other players in game
<>
- Gain 'free' experience in that there is no risk
<>
- Gain 'extras' that were unintentional - i.e. the secret cow level
<>
- Anything else that is considered abusive.<>

Quote:Since presumably if the Lounge were to start banning the players who exploit bugs we should also be banning those who discover them then publicise them
To ban the people who find the exploits is not the same as banning those that use them. To find a bug is something that is an unusual occurance, usually unintentional. When those bugs are found, it is usually a good idea to alert the community of them - or at least some of the head-hanchos. Exploiting a bug is a completely different game though, your intentionally using an exploitation of the system to gain something.
Quote:The last time this issue came up I challenged anyone to post up a Hell build that didn't exploit any bugs whatsoever
Ever hear of Sirian? It's not a hell build, but he took Ember, his fire bolt sorceress, using warmth, fire bolt, and fire mastery to get his sorceress to hell. Oh yeah, he had 12 strength when he did it too. And a staff. In D2C.
That is all I have to say about this issue. Adios, and as Roland said. Try not to let the door hit you on the way out Brista, but don't try too hard.
Edit: I didn't proof well enough *smack head*

You'll find me on US-East, on the account name Baylan (for now, I'll add more as I get my accounts up and hardcore-capable).
