[Granny]

Good call.

Did Headshot's devcape was deleted with his character ?:o

1 month is garbage for losing a character to a bug, but its better than nothing !

Didn't say if the characters had been killed. I'm sure a few did, but I doubt all of them were.

Dev cape? Why

[Cayur]

Thank you based JLO

I`m quite sure his devcap will be in HF of any character he create now. Same as store hats.

Edit: nice dev resolution, imo. Bug abuse should not be tolerated.

Dev cape? Why

I think its like a joke, because his character got the cape, and then got deleted.

[Potjeh]

Dev cape? Why

It's only fair, if you treat bug reporting and bug abusing as separate incidents.

[burgingham]

Seems like a fair ruling.

@Dev Cape: It is actually the proper thing to do. He first exploited the bug so he gets punished with the others. But he also reported it afterwards the reward of that being a dev cape. Capes are account and not character bound btw.

Grats on catchin'em!
Poor Headshot though. Shoulda kept his char in my opinion.

I think it's entirely fair. Reward for reporting the bug, punishment for abusing the bug.

Though now that people get banned for exploiting, I do wonder about the question I posed in the other thread: How far can we go without being punished for it?

Now, the real question is: Where do we draw the line?

Should it be allowed to collect Dragonflies in a swamp using the horse's magical swampwalking abilities?

Should it be allowed to one-shot animals using the bow at 1 MM (before the fix)?

Should it be allowed to abuse the horse's hitbox to fight animals above your level?

Should it be allowed to trespass into a claimed cave without Trespassing using a horse?

There's varying degrees of bug abuse (from design mistake to blatant abusable bug) and varying degrees of harm caused (from minor advantage for user to complete annihilation of other player). At what point does it constitute 'abuse' and should abusers be punished for it?

Can we still safely abuse obvious design mistakes and minor bugs? Is anything that affects other players off-limits?
