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

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.

I think its like a joke, because his character got the cape, and then got deleted.
Early world exploit: Put your hearthfire inside a cave, then hold shift to position a claim right in front of a cave. After 8 hours the claim will be unbreakable. Since your hearthfire is inside the cave, you can still get back inside, and leave, but nobody will be able to enter, effectively making you unraidable for the first 3-7 days. Enjoy

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

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.

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?

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?
