I know he rewarded them. And now we get an entire klan who want to be rewarded an E-Peen™ for abusing an exploit. Yes you reported it but you still are asking for a reward. Still I agree that the I’m Gay E-Peen™ is OK if ET insists on rewarding this behavior, But I object to a unique E-Peen™ for it.

No argument there.

No perfectly capable of reading, do you deny getting 4 medals last week via the exploit? Or do you expect ET to go back into the previous domination rounds to remove medals?

I hereby willingly forfeit my 4 medals from last week. Because this wasn’t done for the medals, it was done to prove the point that it needed to be fixed. I even complained to E.T. that my Shield cards weren’t working, to see if he could detect what I was doing after extensively looking at my account. If he saw anything amiss when he logged in to my account, he didn’t say anything about it. That was one of the reasons why such a large scale event was needed. If the Admin looking at my account (when I had over 250 Scoops and 150 cards) doesn’t detect something amiss, then there was a problem.

So, Evil Trout, please, take the four medals I ‘earned’ last week. I know that I could have still won some (if not all) with just normal scoops & our awesome Vanilla Raid. If this is what it takes to prove a point, so be it.

It wasn’t about the medals. It was about the fact that even subtle prodding or individual bug reports was not getting anything resolved.

Crotchzombie is not blizzard.

It isn’t is it. Crotch Zombie is actually responsive to the player base.

FYI: In past weeks, I’ve suggested to ET that the entire Domination be reset once all the bugs are worked out. Because yeah, he’s busy working on things like Episode 2 and other enhancements to the site. He’s a busy guy. If only there were more than one of him (ha! Bet that didn’t link to what you thought it would.)

In any case, he said he wouldn’t do such a mbumive reset lightly. But I bet if the community wants it, he would. So my suggestion, which should have no more weight than anyone else’s, would be to keep finding and identifying the exploits, help improve the design of domination as a whole, and then when it’s all looking good, ask for a complete medal reset.

AND I SUPPOSE THATS WHAT TEAM SHORTBUS WAS THINKING WHEN THEY CRASHED IDC

EITHER YOU WERE WASTING HIS TIME OR YOU WERENT. MAKE UP YOUR MINDS YOU FILTHY HYPOCRITES.

TSB were actively testing a BETA application. Yes piglet managed to crash the server with some hideous attack, but that was largely unintentional. Unfortunately ET was off-line at the time and had to get paged to fix the server and I believe that piglet apologized for the disruption.

Please don’t even get close to trying to stick me in the shortbus ever again.

You do realize that a single full-time programmer is going to have a huge list of bug fixes on his plate at any given time? Further that Trout currently works at least 6 days a week on the site? And that he had to work on this bugfix during his day off?

Forumwarz is not WoW, Crotchzombie is not blizzard, quit expecting a ****ing miracle worker.

Wow, you just don’t get it. This bug had been reported for a while, i.e., weeks. And no action was taken. But once we staged a mbumive exploit demonstration, it was fixed within 12 hours. It obviously didn’t take that long (comparatively speaking) and it affects so many players that I can’t imagine any bug (other than a critical failure related one) being more important.

And considering ET looked closely at my account while I was actively using the exploit, it means that it could have gone on for a very, very long time if someone chose to be subtle & sneaky. We decided to make a demonstration, and we immediately contacted ET to tell him what was going on and how we were doing it.

Instead of drawing out the exploit ourselves, or allowing others to do so, we staged a huge demonstration. And it got the attention it needed. The first step was to see how easily an Admin could see what was going on just by looking. If ET saw what I was doing, he didn’t say a word.

It was important to determine if Admin could even tell when the exploit was being used first to gauge the severity of the issue. That’s a vastly different situation from the IDC thing.

We need an invitation to look for bugs and report them?

YES YOU fabulous person YOU ARENT SUPPOSED TO BREAK THE GAME WTF DO YOU THINK THE BUG REPORT FEATURE IS FOR

I know what the bug report function is. I also know that if I can provide more detailed information regarding the bug, that is immensely useful.
