It would appear now that the exploit has been fixed, but my level 7 character in Ascalon cannot view any Guild Halls.

I go to my GH, I select a GH to visit, it starts to load the hall, but boots me back to Ascalon.

I haven't been following the situation much, but was this a problem before?

This is what I surmise from the Game Updates

-Exploit was fixed caused people without LA to not be able to visit GH's
-Fixed problem with Visting GH's, re-enabled Exploit?
-Fixed Exploit, Caused people not to visit GH's.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm not complaining. I'd rather have the exploit fixed and not be able to view GH's.

interesting, not sure what they would do about that.

I'm disappointed. I didn't know about this in time and thought it'd be a nice opportunity to outfit all characters with green Wayward Wands and shit for my money-greedy heroes.

Oh and if you were warped to abbadon's gate mission in nf, and didn't beat it, your out of luck, there isn't a way back to the RoT.

Unless they were smart enough to get a lift to the portal first...

The problem with access to game areas before a person learns to play with the limited provisions of early areas has always been that lack of learning. When you start your level 1 with max armor, and have not played a caster, a tank, a healer - then you end up with a buffer that undermines your punishment for bad skill. (Death is the result of bad skill, lol.) IMO - once an account has been to X place, then that player should have X place open. But if they have no experience playing then jump up to the higher powered armor and weapons they will get less effective training at lower levels and be inefficient when they reach areas designed for 20s with max weapons and armor.

Since people still ebay for gold (while I refuse to do so) all other exploits - like access to treasure chests are immaterial. Since a Pre character can make 300k just helping a 20 people DL 2 levels, I see no reason to prevent any other exploit for cash. The fact is, all fads for cash are motivated by an economy that is excessively poor in comparison to the costs of the environment (Death Leveling in Pre, Wisdom track, Treasuer Hunter track, Sweet Tooth track, Drunkard Track, things for HoM). And yes, the drunkard track has gotten some relief with the Wintersday Chest and occasional drops of hunter's ale.

Relevant link about the usefulness of this as a feature, not a bug.
Please focus on the OP and legitmate arguments. Not a thread about banning people who exploited, and so forth. Treat it as a new idea.

Or maybe I shouldn't post the link in here at all... :X

My only regret is that I didn't have 3k, or friends online. Am I a bad person? I really don't think so. I've logged more hours than most folks, and saved the world 2-3 times with most toons. Just wanted ancient armor for a toon that hasn't done all of Nightfall to BP yet. Alas, it was not meant to be.

Funny you first pay the very people you are complaining about, and thus contribute to their making of moeny you are complaining about by your very deeds.

Unfortunately, this has been a problem for a very long time regardless of anyone being teleported or "ran" somewhere.

Did you think that maybe that person got a friend to zone, for free? I think not. (It doesn't mean it was right, I highly disagree with those who have used this flaw, yes a flaw in the game!)

My friend got his whole game mapped out on each character. He's going for a lvl 1 carotographer xD

Smile Like Umean It · Jan 01, 2008, 03:27 AM // 03:27

Doubt that's gonna be possible given that you can't always go around mobs. He's gonna have to kill sometime.

To be truthful I could care less if someone can get here and there with the exploit.It doesnt effect my game.

Same. Don't care too much if people have beaten NF on lv1's... doesn't affect me and/or the economy.

I took my second warrior to Vasburg Armory, getting KC and LA in the same time, gotten my mesmer in Bone Palace to get armor (beating Factions in the process x]) and beaten NF on my paragon.

But I intend to get my paragon, mesmer and second warrior all outposts because I KNOW I'll end up getting them through the campaigns. My warrior is lv4, I need to get him lv20... my mesmer will have to beat all 3 campaigns fully because I refuse to farm for his survivor title (sitting at 250k exp atm, so lazy)... and I intend to get my paragon through NF anyways to cap skills.

Legendary Shiz · Jan 01, 2008, 07:44 AM // 07:44

I like it because I hate going through storylines tbh.

It should be fixed, because it's wrong. But if it doesnt get fixed I'd be a happy guy.

R A N D O M · Jan 01, 2008, 05:04 PM // 17:04

well its fixed now, i got gate of anguish on my monk so now i dont have to do nundu bay... my only regret is that i didnt get nahpui quarter.
