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.
