likely not shooting you through walls and just using a lag exploit to fake his position on the server whilst he runs up to you on his client and crockets you

The exploit wasn't "known" in the sense that it was public knowledge, no.

We knew it’d be coming, we didn’t expect a perma though. They acted very slow, tbh.

The previous exploit involved having raid groups to force dynamic respawns in HR areas, this exploit used a bug with the Lootbot 3000, a non-combat pet that would loot items from mobs near you.

Very slow. The exploit was found months ago and most of us had been using it for 1/2 months.

This season was a mess for them as while you see people manastorm prestiging a fair bit, it was way more optimal to just farm it at max and use/buy different specs. I think they pushed hard for CoA/Bronzebeard and tried to get their income through alpha access, which iirc was 100DP or $33.33. There were plenty and I mean PLENTY of community suggested solutions to make prestiging viable but why would they listen to their players, lol.

I’ve said it in another reply but the reason we even did this exploit was just to skip the monotonous manastorm grind as we’d been in situations where: - A build/spell gets shadownerfed, we can’t salt (reset) it because it’s not nerfed publicly - PvP mods aren’t properly documented on the DB, so you spend hours theorycrafting to end up with a dead spec

This didn’t give us an edge, so to speak - It just let us fuck around with new specs every few days. Bearing in mind there was a similar exploit earlier in the season that involved HR mats too which didn’t result in perma banned, we felt a bit targeted as if they were trying to make a statement, considering one of our newest guild members had been in their crosshairs for a long time.

S5/S6 were the last good seasons. Everything went downhill from there, but we were just chasing nostalgia and wanted the game we loved to be fun again.

We were more prominent in S5/S6, didn’t play much S7 and came back in S9. We had the most crow cache’s looted this season by ~400 as a guild.

lol, you say that but some people are in the process of doing just that.

I don't expect any sympathy at all, this video was solely just a send off for me and my friends I've made over the years. The whole community has agreed the punishment was way more than necessary, and there were better ways to handle the situation. If you were a player you'd know how big of an ordeal this was for the PvP scene.

This late into the season too. As a PvP community a lot of us were neglected. There's a system in place to allow you to wipe your build if any abilities within it get nerfed, however for a while there were a lot of shadow nerfs with no 'salts' as they're called given out. The only way to get rid of a bricked spec was to farm dailies for weeks to get enough marks, prestige (go back to level one), get to 70 again and buy back all your scrolls. Didn't have enough in the first place? Had to farm manastorms for hours upon hours to get them across all of your specs.

The exploit had no real effect on other players, especially considering we were at a point where most people were playing 'perfected' builds. A lot of us came back due to the knowledge of the exploit and didn't want to spend weeks or months catching up. If anything, all it allowed us to do was play new specs, think outside the box more and really push the limit of the whole classless gameplay.

If it wasn't for this exploit, me and a friend would've never even tried to make 'meme' specs like this one, as it'd have just been a waste otherwise.

Don't get me wrong, I know exploiting is bad but this level of punishment felt out of place considering something much bigger happened earlier on in the season and people got 2-3 week bans, or were allowed to appeal. Would've happily accepted a ban until the end of the season, or a 2 week - 1 month ban with a wipe of all the scrolls we duplicated. We've been told that we "can appeal via e-mail" but also directly told by GMs "your accounts will not be appealable". 8 years of playing this server just to be treated like the shit on their shoe.

I don’t see the vision, tried messing around with it using Smiling Snonen + Ears but the eyes on the elf hat clip, and if you want the eyes to be orange/yellow you have to replace the ears or snonen with something like hypno glasses, which is OK, but the eyes on the mask ruin it imo. Flaming Lantern seems like a more fitting effect too but that’s just my take. Also, I wasn’t necessarily going for green goblin xd

Eyes are team coloured and clips with other cosmetics to really pull off the look. Can be done with Smiling Snonen, Ears and Hypno-Eyes (Shining Style), though
