  1. Damn making them play Rift is too cruel a punishment!

    Personally I think its spot on, I would have been gentler with just removing their flying mounts for a couple of weeks with some randomly despawning ones to live with for a week or two longer, but this is simpler.

    To be clear, I was in beta too and never heard of this exploit, so while it may have been sent to a dev it was a closely guarded secret.

    Using the free transfers to then grab disco’s on other servers is real scumbag behaviour, especially from players who likely already have many disco’s to their name.

  2. We disco’d the mounts on AB accidentally it wasn’t intentional at all. We also didn’t use the transfers to get discos, we used them to move our entire guild permanently to AB so we could raid on a server with new hardware.

    SJ’s post is a lot of fiction and very little fact.

  3. I am not trying to sound like an ass, but HOW do you accidentally disco the flying mount? You got the disco a few days early if i am not mistaken. I kinda hate to say this but I would have to believe SJ over you.

  4. Of course the discos on Unrest were intentional. I was talking about his implication we used the free transfer tokens to get discos on other servers. That part of his post is completely false.

    The day before the transfers became free we decided as a guild to transfer to AB to raid in a lag free environment. We transferred and a group of us (all with flying mounts) were in EFP starting our new guild. A player there asked someone for a link to their gryphon and when they went to right click examine it to link it to them that window popped up asking if they wanted to convert it to a house item, which they did accidentally, discovering the house item portion of the mount. When they went to turn it back into a ridable mount, it disco’d that portion of it.

    That was how they got disco’d on the new server, it wasn’t intentional and it wasn’t like we were using up 5 transfers per player disco’ing them on every server we could.

    Also, no. Five people were not required for the exploit I used. That was an additional exploit. In total there are four I am aware of, only two of which were fixed. The exploit I used could be done entirely solo using only your personal griffawn pet. No group, no additional pets required.

  5. I been waiting patiently to get airborne, if i knew a way to get it done in 1 day, i would have done it. Making us wait 5 days for one of the biggest features of DoV was another one of sonys greatest fail ideas ever….

    The fault lies with the developers here, not the players. Ban SJ for a week.

  6. Which would have caused 100 people to cancel all of their accounts and go play something else. I know between two of my guildies that were suspended they have 17 accounts (one has 5, one has 12). That’s a lot of revenue lost. $680 expansion revenue and $255 a month subscription just from those two players.

  7. Anyone know what time suspensions are usually lifted, this one in particular. Is it 5 days after the email or 5 days after the account stoped working or is it midnight on the sixth day or sometime later? Please no comments of exploiting is bad or why would you go back after they suspended you for no reason.
