Great thing a video game isn’t life. And that they literally admitted in the post that they know who has them and that they have the ability to remove items for fairness.
In fact I’m a little more concerned about you who thinks a video game should be treated exactly like life.
It was an unintended bug that should have been reported at the first drop and not shared. This would be exactly like a dupe going live. Blizzard needs to keep the faith of the community and do the right thing.
You don’t know what the word exploit means it seems. To exploit a bug is to use something unintended to it’s full use. Being that the uber uniques weren’t supposed to be that common from the change, farming the chests to get them is exploiting a bug…
What happened is what was supposed to happen. They just didn’t take into account all the factors. IE: The only unique some classes had in a slot WAS a super unique… which elevated the rate of that item for those classes above what it should have been.
It sets a precedent on future exploits. We have already seen dungeon resetting through a big process get ignored. As a matter of fact, many that exploited that have their names on a statue. Now this, where streamers posted how exactly to exploit and the exploiters are again being rewarded. It sets a really bad example going in to season one.
Yeah, I’ll remember this day. I’ll be exploiting to my hearts desire. I used to report those things when I found them. mb If this is the type of community Blizzard wants to foster, I won’t get in their way. They reward bug exploiting.
It destroys the integrity being that they admitted they know both who has the exploited items, that they have the means to remove them, and that they aren’t. If you believe it’s in the spirit of a fair and competitive game environment to let 142 people just have an item that’s had what 2? 3? confirmed drops in MILLIONS of hours of gameplay since launch then you’re a lost cause.
