While many players participated a little in the exploited maps, very few really took advantage of it to excessively level characters.


In unrelated news, Khaj is back to 30 characters :lol:

Seriously though, I can't defend Cryptic. Shutting down the maps for a few days and fixing the problem I can deal with. Actually removing XP from players, that's really bad.

I agree, they failed totally with this. Firstly for not playing the game enough to realise what we would do with regards to easing the levelling gap. Secondly, for panicking and pulling the maps down. Thirdly, for taking SP off players, pretty low thing to do. I know they can grind em back but that's not the point. The point is the devs/mods decided that these guys had done something wrong when really they were just playing the game in the most efficient way available at the time.

I'm sure by the letter of the EULA Cryptic/PWE are allowed to do what they did but it pretty much destroys what little good will they had. Especially when the whole debacle is their fault in the first place.

The worst part of this is throwing the community itself under the bus to get the stink off of themselves with the "HAXORZ!" nonsense. The community just ripped in half, with one side feeling betrayed and the other side mocking them saying they deserve it. Major community figures such as Mal and SarcasmDetector are close to or already are making very public exits from the game. I'm not even a fan of the "all DPS all the time" side of the game, but these are people who know the underlying game mechanics on the same level the devs do, the best testers, social media promoters, livestreamers, and community hubs.

Game design or community toxicity can destroy a game, is Cryptic trying to create the conditions for a case study in how to do both simultaneously?
