There are 2 ways:
1.Wipe all gold (reboot the economy)
2.Wipe all gold from the accounts on which there was dupe gold
p.s. And ban all accounts who duped gold
You have to roll back the economy or something, zero the gold, remove all the listing I dunno. As it stands the market is useless for any valuable item. Things that were a couple million gold when I went to bed last night are 50billion now.
Trade was all that kept me engaged, I don’t want to play CoF. So unless this gets addressed I guess it’s just uninstall and hope it doesn’t happen again next cycle
Okay you will ban those abusing gold exploit, BUT WHAT ABOUT THE FAKE GOLD THAT THEY INSERTED INTO THE ECONOMY ?. Make a 3 day rollback or remove all the gold from EVERYONE WHO TRADED USING THAT FAKE GOLD, otherwise season 2 is dead.
im not seller, i just saw this in discord
they guy posted that sale 1 hour ago
Thanks Judd. I really hope EHG can, not just deal with this instance of exploit, but ensure economy integrity is never compromised again. Because each time it happens, it really shakes player confidence and makes it difficult for us to take the game (MG) seriously.
Maybe they should restart this cycle and take this week as a dress rehearsal.
I find it immensely depressing and pathetic the amount of vitriol on here being directed at the folks who are creating this game and busting their ar$es to make this experience as best as they can rather that the cretins who deliberately took advantage of this situation. Constructive critique is one thing, but this? I repeat, pathetic.
But that’s just me.
Fair warning. In this particularly case, just mute me now if you intend on defending your actions. Because if you do try to defend this, I’ll definitely be muting you.
I don’t see the prices at Bazaar stabilizing, I see that an offhand I have is worth 50mln, when I bought it for 500k, I see that t7 int ring is worth 10mln, when it was 1mln before gold dupe.
That also had no impact on most other gear like t6 items, which made every fair player who did not stumble on lucky lp3 meta item, much poorer in return, it devalued 10s and 30s of hours of grind, and most of the people I know already publicly said they are quitting the league at this point.
Technically stabilizing means reaching a stable level. This level could be much higher than before the dupes. This is definitely not an ideal result and I hope they do rollbacks this time as their solution last time was to leave the economy filled with exploited gold on non exploiters accounts.
The people that exploited the gold are banned. That’s great.
The gold they exploited is all over the market and prices have raised ridiculously. Also lots of great items are now gone for good as the accounts that bought them are gone.
EHG did a horrible job the first time it happened and it remains to be seen what they’ll do this time. I asked them on discord like 10 days ago if they were going to approach it differently if it happens again and they said that they didn’t want to punish the innocents. But by letting those transactions stay, the innocents that didn’t get all of that gold are now priced out of future top end items.
We can see in gold selling sites that chinese people are still online and selling 1b gold for 5$.
This means you fixed nothing, stop lying
To be honest, it is quite pathetic that you guys do not have a way to track gold.
There were photos of people having 1.5B gold in their inventories for days now.
How on earth is it possible for someone to walk around with 1.5b and not be banned automatically. Or investigated and find out the source of income.
TERRIBLE JOB
I also decided to go to different purchasing sites, and I saw one picture of 10-20 offers with an unlimited offer, I think they duped it from the start of the cycle and hid 100,000,000+ bil in the purchased auction lots.
The output is one FULL WIPE of gold. This week will not bring me any losses personally. You can simply increase the gold drop rates for 1-7 days, and everything will stabilize on its own.
If the developers do not make any decisions to reboot the economy, then I can assume that they themselves will sell this gold.
p.s. If developers need help implementing code for dupe detection, write to PM. I came up with 3 different code options while sitting on the toilet ![]()
As I stated, constructive critique is fine and necessary. We’re already seen them take a first step, they banned the people who did it. Likely right now they are in the process of implementing their second step. I agree, it remains to be seen. That’s why I find the the response of some folks to be despicable.
I dont care if you wipe the gold
I went to buy Red ring 2 nights ago before bed and cheapest was 5m for a unique, I had 14m but decided to hold off as im a dumb fk
Now everything is 100x the price, I was going to reroll maybe a Fire Aura character but now I cant afford fking anything and I have zero Sorc gear so …cant really do anything with my money anyway
Im somewhat thankful I did my final gear sweep before the inflation but I cant switch to CoF (nor do I want to) but mg its pointless
I don’t understand why you have not set up monitoring processes to trigger when abnormal amounts of gold appear in transactions or accounts. That should immediately lock the two accounts involved before any damage is done. When you have fundamental duping issues deep in the software (as Wolcen did too, for way too long), you can’t depend on community reports to get on top of it. You need to take serious and draconian measures against it
Thanks for timely looking into it
Any word on this issue?
It’s one of the most upvoted feedback threads now in the time after the last cycle ended
(And there’s a simple fix with just giving back the gold
Please refund the gold spent in cycle stashes to legacy players' gold reserves )
Same here saved 2 day for red rings before sleep they are 14mil each when i wake up rings are 500mil
now they are 600m, idols are 400-500m, tier7 affix are 100-150m
MG is not fair anymore for legit players.
Sellers of items (to exploiters) are super super rich and they decide to prices on items.
EHG fixed nothing. RMT sites have billions in sale. Everything is ruined for MG players.
No, it means that they didn’t fix everything by removing the excess gold. There’s a difference.
Looks like Legacy was a good choice. MG in “fresh start” is rotten, but MG in legacy is pretty … fresh, in a case of selling new items. And all content of 1.1 is here
fair enough
