Probably ATA should insert new code to prevent stripping, to prevent players being stolen or attacked, so as to protect the gold their customers paid for using nobs.
Again in my state that would be entrapment and if a civilian did it its illegal to leave a car sitting with keys inside
Lol u all want to make comparisons to the real life I still am laughing in real life do u att steal scout others ? Do u hit someone for taking smack about u or ur clan then get payed for it (I know professional fighters do but unless u are one don't even try it) I think not wat goes on in game play has nothing to do with real life but wat does are the real life dollors the devs just stole outta a lot of people's pockets from their I actions then over reactions The players who were stripped using these funds and the players (after the devs were obviously made aware) who used this exploit taking things from them that they indeed paid real life money for
Just because it was 47T and everyone starts pointing fingers :lol: Think of this, YAFI has not been in a major OSW for at least half a year before that strip. That's 180 days at least. 47T across 180 days is about 260B. Given we have so many members, is it that tough to earn 260B a day spread out across, let's say, 80 members? Simple mathematics, really
No I didn't say they did I said I'd use that for an example cause everyone was aware of that strip and it happened in the right time frame
Paying real money does not make you exempt from consequences from real life or gaming. You guys do not have a leg to stand on. You might as well accept it and move on. In any other game I played the offenders would of been banned.
Lol well I'm not aware of anyone who was stripped using these funds but trillions were available and in that case trillions were taken ... As I stated I don't know or care if Yafi got funds this way but I would think IMF would like to know now that u mention it
But see that's just it every other exploit that has happened in this game has not resulted in this kind of punishment ... So again I ask why now why the delay after they were made aware why entrap more players after they were aware and why such harsh punishments to those players this one time?
Like I mentioned way earlier, if we used it, our strippers would already have their gold taken away from them, allies gone, buildings taken down. You probably should have read this in another thread by philosopher Unless there is total mistrust of the checks done by the developers on their log files, which in this case, why would you even bother to continue playing the game? This particular exploit hurts the game much much more than previous exploits. Certain players probably used it to gain gold as strippers, and they probably have been dealt with. Well, the developers probably were too lenient in previous incidents like the tower builds.
I didn't see that thread; that was 1 thread I missed. But it has already been said before that kaw developers do not read normal forum posts. In such a case, (i) the player who posted the glitch should probably have sent the email directly to support@athinkingape.com. Instead, he/she posted on the forum for everyone to read. The developers do not read every thread, and this has been the case for years. Now you guys are blaming them for the delay? (ii) the forum moderators should have contacted the developers and moved the thread off asap. These are the players in charge of monitoring the forum. Shouldn't you guys blame them for the delay instead of the developers, given that they have offloaded this job to players who have offered to do it for free? :roll: :roll: :roll:
There has not yet been one correct "real world" analogy applied to this scenario yet. The issue is not the exploit, it is the fact that so many have gone through with no consequences. This one is particularly perplexing because it sat in limbo for weeks apparently. It is very much like entrapment. The analogy would be more like, for the past few months you see ppl stealing from the open ATM, you see ppl are upset and calling for it to be fixed. When it does get fixed the perpetrators are told they really shouldn't do that, run along now. Now on the 4th or 5th occurrence you see a big fat ATM, wide open, the authorities have been called, but they can't be bothered to show up, for weeks. You know those damned Jones's have been grabbing handfuls, and you think "I've sat out the last 4 or 5 times and have fallen behind, can I afford to sit this one out too?" And then after being caught, the collectors discount all of your assets by 65% before applying them to your repayment.
Feel free to copy and paste the law and state of which it resides in. I don't believe saying what state you live in is against the ToU, only city and closer, I could be wrong, but unlikely. I don't see how staging a false event, then leaving the scene is entrapment. You're the dumb ass that decided to steal a car. At no point was there an invitation for you to get in the car and drive away.
I never said whether or not I used the exploit or not ... Not in one of my posts my argument is against wat the devs did and y'all lunching the players that used this one exploit I never used a signal one of the other exploits in kaw ever (except as a hitter in pwars) but had to watch as countless other use these exploits to gain advantage over me and other honest players in the game Yet soon as one is exposed u all want to jump in and say how wrong it was and how this time they got wat they deserved Tower builds still sitting with all their ill gotten equip and mith at my cost ? I was pissed but were they "punished" no they got every advantage left to them then refunded for their bad build Where was this out rage then? This effected people on both sides of the exploit and all because the devs sat on their hands and let it till they felt like they got enough involved to make them money
ATA has already been quite lenient to remove gold gained from the exploit. They did not factor in the gold gained from using the gold to do (i) ally trading (ii) upgrade buildings and lands and to do and earn more from EBs (iii) the extra boost to their stats to do EE better, and gained more mithrils and equips and the list goes on. If everyone were to go into deeper details, there are just so many more things to account for, that it is never ending.
The tower build exploit was discovered as part of the initial trials of estoc wars. At that time, it was well stated that the Estoc Trials are a trial to the new war system. While it was an "exploit", no one bothers to use it because of the numerous disadvantages it had before the Estoc Trials came along.
I did not get caught in this exploit but four of my friends did. This does not reflect any real world morality or decision making processes they have. I would trust them with my wallet while I head off to the Blackjack table any day. They took advantage of an exploit on a game, they aren't planning any bank heists.....at least to the best of my knowledge.
