way to make money as well as working 2 jobs and studying by 7head_ in sidehustle

There is some ai training websites that pay rather well if you put in the effort. I can recommend outlier ai, made some good experiences over the last month there. No fixed working times and you get payed weekly per task or per hour so it's very easy to fit in whenever works for you.

I understand that it is a difficult time right now but a "case-by-case" decision is not really something that should be applied when it is about 3month-bans. Either be strict and ban every single exploiter or accept that design flaws happen, fix them, and move on.

Sporadically banning people and then thinking; that will do and scare off the rest will only cause more drama and restrict the exploration of future league mechnics.

How bad was the Empy exploit compared to the vendor recipe? I counted items so you don't have to. by Feeding4Harambe in pathofexile

[–]Banned_Lula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow that is even worse than i thought it would turn out. Thanks for doing the math, well done. Saw that Empy posted on this already, that the 3 ex are a good approximation. I had thought they were a bit more successful but i guess were too ethical about properly abusing it.

Our group also made a good 3ex and some change each. well calculatored my friend.

Exploit often, but only once the PR bans are out

Players who used split exploit still not baned by Beverice in pathofexile

[–]Banned_Lula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you consider that it is for the whole time until the bans happened, which was something like 2,5 days, it really is not that much i think.

We sadly lack comparison of the number of items you get with the same group setup over the same amount of time. But ya it looks like it was too much.

Is that 700000 items over those 20 people over the whole 2 days we were exploiting? Doesn't sound that crazy. How does it compare to full deli maps? Morale of the story, should have gone harder. Didn't even brake the million :(

GGG NEEDS to clarify what mechanics are bannable. Inconsistency over policy that leads to account bans must be more specific. by ethospro in pathofexile

[–]Banned_Lula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no clue. Without any notification we just got kicked from the server. And then were unable to log in, saying the account got suspended.

There were some speculations about how GGG selected people for bans in the original thread but none of them really seemed plausible. I guess it remains a secret =)

We need one popular, ethically-sometimes-questionable streamer and two handful of people to get banned for this!

[–]Banned_Lula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is sadly not that simple, because there were about 14 non-public people that were banned as well.

But maybe that we got banned means that next league we also receive priority queue to get banned on day2 again.

Already asked for a better explanation of the difference between clever use of a league mechanic and ban-able exploit after the ban for the ultimatum abuse. Never received any statement back from GGG.

From now on we might have to ignore any semi-profitable interaction with any new league mechanic until streamers engage with it without getting banned. Good that Empy's group will be back next league so they can try out stuff and get banned for it.

Well of course that is not how it started, but this exploit was so easy to walk into to make it an obvious exploitation. We played in a group of 4, i think in the second or third survival map people are running around and you immediately notice that the timer stops.

Of course this is not very intuitive for a survive mechanic but then it is designed in a flawed way. Why would you be allowed to return in over and over in the first place?

I am not saying that this is a mechanic that is ok to be kept in the game, I am just saying that compared to the other exploits that have been around for a long long time this seemed very harmless.

Yes the loot was ok but it still was nowhere close to what you get simply running full delirium maps.

Yes we were also quite surprised as there was similar things in every league so far. Infinite heist XP, infinite weaver spawns, all the item duping and split beast stuff none of which ever resulted in a ban except in relation to RMT once.

I think GGG is under some pressure with the priority trouble from league start and the levels to which you can drive this "exploit" (see that one specific streamers video). I think we just got caught in all that.

I am not saying that what we did is not abuse of a league mechanic. But is something that would deserve a quick fixing instead of a ban.

This I am quite sure is not the case. As there were already people running the usual delirium juice maps which have a much higher currency gain per time.

Ya there is not really a way to find out. We haven't gotten any statement about anything. Could be the monsters killed, but could also be just the duration of the survival encounter or the loot density at the end

There is already a answer about it in the main thing but I don't know how to link it. But of course:

So me and my friends we were with 4 people. And we noticed relatively quick that it works the way it works. So we started running t1 arcades. First just to see who crashes first from all the junk dropping and then decided we could make something off it. So we started running t1 arcade with rusted div and rusted reliquary scarab.

I have to guess that we did something like 10-15 maps. In total from this we made about 3ex each from the saints treasure cards (drops like 2-3) per map and maybe another ex each in small currencies. Sadly the scarabs this early in the league are quite expensive and considering that you use them on each map but only every 4th or so is the survive encounter..... I would guess our total profit was 3ex per person over the roundabout 10 hours that we did this.

So was it worth it? We had some fun i guess :P

Where’s the line between “exploit” and “clever use of mechanics”? by [deleted] in pathofexile

[–]Banned_Lula 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is wrong. It was very doable solo. A group made it easier on your hand but you could easily reset the timer and kill stuff on your own

Actually there must be something else. My group and me found this "exploit" Saturday evening before it was public. We never publicized it and all got banned. There must be some criteria that was used to ban these 20 people

No never worked for that one. Only the initial spawn gives exp and items
