SteveTheCynic Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Metrics, communications between players in games (even PM's can be viewed), and any other data there was and how well the exploit is known to EA after releasing the patch. They have all that data in hand quite clearly based on this and previous exploits. No, I think Sarova meant "How do *players* even discover them?". I may be wrong.

DarkTergon Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 (edited) what if something had been sold, but you hadn't collected the credits yet, or they haven't been delievered. will they still be there? Wasn't sure if the answer to the roleback covered that too Edited August 20, 2019 by DarkTergon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celise Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 (edited) No, I think Sarova meant "How do *players* even discover them?". I may be wrong. in that case, i don't know and quite honestly i don't want to know. I'd rather stay on the right side of the rules regarding such behavior.

Khaleg Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 (edited) I swear I would go on a rampage if I had just filled up all my 5 traders with 100 items each lol! Edited August 20, 2019 by Khaleg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatarinaJayne Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Might want to check Darth Malgus Imperial Fleet Chat over the half hour before the downtime too. People actually asking how to do the exploit. Ban them all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OddballEasyEight Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Well, damn... I just put a bunch of stuff up for sale on several characters Oh well, I guess I'll have to sit through all that again... *sigh* why not just do it to the ones using the exploit (whatever it is)?

People actually asking how to do the exploit. Ban them all! it may have prompted the unscheduled downtime for exactly that reason. if that is the case, EA are well aware of the exploit and monitoring how many times it was used.

Naraana Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 (edited) Oh gods... I'm just *really* glad all 30+ alts weren't selling 100 items each like they were last week, lol. Only 10-15?

kodrac Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 "Odd" is not exactly the word I'd have used, myself. What would you use then? With all the people asking what's the deal it would've been nice to direct them to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlBuzzard Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Hey everyone, We are going to be bringing all SWTOR servers offline for a quick maintenance. We expect to be down for approximately one hour. This maintenance is to address an in-game exploit. As a part of what we are doing during this maintenance, players will find that all of their GTN sales have been expired. Once we come back online you will find any GTN sales that you had waiting for you in your mailbox. With the exploit resolved, we will be conducting a thorough investigation of what has occurred. Once we have completed our review, we'll let you know the status and the actions we have taken. -eric For whatever it's worth... much appreciated ! I'm quite certain that sorting this out is a really bad time right now !! Best of luck !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabbagul Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Might want to check Darth Malgus Imperial Fleet Chat over the half hour before the downtime too. People actually asking how to do the exploit. Ban them all! If you're dense enough to ask how to cheat in game chat channels, in this day and age, you absolutely get what's coming to you. Let the ban hammer smite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RazzerKFG Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Pitty about the update midt in prime eu time, but fixing exploits comes first. Would it be posible for you guys next time to include "down time approx 1 hour" or so with the ingame announcement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeloBhaal Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 (edited) I saw stacks of 500 of those "Cubes" in the GTN and asked me "how is this possible". I guess it has something to do with those. Edited August 20, 2019 by LeeloBhaal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kodrac Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 I saw stacks of 500 of Chance Cubes in the GTN and asked me "how is this possible". I guess it has something to do with those. That and the 6000 black/black dyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nee-Elder Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 It didn't say how to exploit, silly human, it said someone was duping dyes and it's been going on for weeks. ahh ok ... and seriously, weeks?! I find that very hard to believe it wasn't noticed for weeks. But anyways, i suppose it's all moot now yep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWLoveAngel Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 I've figured that it's better to hang onto Items that I got from Cartel Market Packs that were either repeats or items that I didn't want and see if any of my friends would like to have them instead. Usually I just give them the item(s) in trade and call it even. It's great to help out friends, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheebla Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 just an aside, I love how you go to the server status page and it redirects you to the system alerts page for more info. to the best of my knowledge the system alerts page has never had any data on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darklag Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Again, maintenance without warning and not planned, out of nowhere for a minor problem at a critical time for European servers (9 PM) UTC + 1 / UTC + 0. I've discussed this with people in my guild and the server in general, and we're fed up. If Onslaught extension does not meet our expectations it is clear that many players will stop their subscription, and the case today only aggravates the situation. Please think about it.
