Divine Intervention: Balls Bay et al vs. Dev Team

[Halbertz]

It's just cringe to use bug like this. I have no idea why they even try.

[Zentetsuken]

Whereas
-------------------------------

• A bug in the implementation of the Sled Riding mechanic we pushed yesterday made it possible to use a pulled sled to bypass the visitor debuff, and whereas;
• At least two separate parties used the bug in World 16 and World 16.1 respectively, to raid for personal profit, two separate offended parties, and whereas;
• Actions aforementioned are manifestly against the very spirit of Christmas itself, carrying a latae sententiae punishment of interdict.

Therefore
-------------------------------

• The village "Balls Bay" in World 16, has been placed under interdict, and cannot be used until further notice, and;
• The village "haven.UI$CommandException" in World 16.1, and an associated outpost, have been placed under interdict, and cannot be used until further notice, and;
• Several accounts identified as belonging to the offending parties have been banned until further notice, and;
• For the maintenance of public peace and order during the blessed season, no further action will be taken until after it, and;
• We may then decide those villages and/or accounts forfeit entirely, and;
• Offended parties may submit itemized loss reports of significance, and we may, no promise made, attempt to restore or retrieve some of the losses, and;
• If you have been banned or locked out of your village on account of this decision we welcome your appeals to mercy, or, if you feel unfairly targeted, justice.

Ad Notam
-------------------------------

• We are always interested in good quality bug reports. Report before you 'sploit, and we can avoid affaires.
• We are always eager to hear your appeals for clemency, especially should they demonstrate a profounder level of remorse by coming attached with some truly juicy bug reports, concerning this 'sploit or others, which some of you apparently hoard for the truly long game.

Pirates be ye warned!

All PVPers are bug abusers and only abuse bugs to try and get the upperhand against other bug abusing PVPers.

You should also ban the people who get bug abused to stop the endless cycle.

Hafen autists trying to not abuse the game mechanics 1s into the new world challenge (impossible).

Baiting with the obviously exploitable mechanic -- a brilliant move by devs.

Throw the book at them this time

GENTLEMEN PLEASE

WE WERE ONLY DOING A LITTLE HOLIDAY SLEDDING
WE DID NOT NOTICE THE ENEMY GATES UNTIL IT WAS TOO LATE!

[Zachary09]

I love this so much

Also don't you get off scot free if you report the bug first via forum PM to Jorb/Loftar?

[inevitable]

Was it the exploit that people told you guys during the stream? Also merry Xmas!

Didn't notice anyone saying anything about a bug during the stream (though that is perhaps also expected given the nature of stream chats). When did this happen?

19:47 into the vod:

Ksillema: I wish we could pull it with a person sitting on it. But it's probably exploitable

Well considering someone got away with having at least one exploited q1000 pearl necklace for an entire world, these "people" who lack the spirit of Christmas probably think exploiting bugs is an intended game mechanic.
