^I didn't see that.

And they have different IGN's, the other guy on wiki was ballsy (or dumb, not sure which) to leave all four of his IGN's on his page after posting a steamy ball of crap like that.

Not sure why you're upset about it, he posted the guide here before you did, so he has more of a right to complain than you do. Not stirring shit, he beat you to the punch, get over it.

I don't care about that one dudes post, I care about the fact that someone else brought such a small thing to Gaile's attention.

And Gaile is throwing a hissy fit about it already, over something so small.

Gaile isn't throwing a fit, yet. Don't get carried away Ripskin.

Thanks for taking the risk about telling us about this fairgame opportunity. It's up to Anet if they want to CHANGE it.

I don't know if that's a good idea...could be the wrong Drago.

Best to let sleeping dogs lie and hope it's a storm in a teacup. I was going for three analogies in a row, but i couldn't think of a third

This kind of quest has been in place how many times now and Anet never picked it up? Do Anet not run through a click list of things to check for when creating quests, like ways players can exploit it or something?

I think it might be the same drago. He says the exact same thing in the gaile talk page.

Who cares about 60k xp when you're going to delete the character anyways? Actually, it's only 2k...

Maybe if Anet changes this so players can 'farm it' they could learn something - "before you release something make sure it can't be used in a way you don't want it to be used."

Judging by Gaile's reaction and how fast she was in making sure the design knew about this - and to get them working on it - it makes me wonder how hard it would be to get a job at Anet. I can make simple quests that have such obvious ways of farming or exploiting or whatever you want to call it. Hire me, hire me.

"This is DEF. a problem and should be fixed." How about this, Anet "really really" thinks before it releases stuff. You know, make sure there isn't going to be a 'problem' before they release it to players who can think of ways of doing stuff that ANET obviously can't. Then, at least, Archaic you wouldn't have to champion the fight in exposing this. Never been involved in the this event before so I don't now how drops work for it, but this seems like such a boring way for any playing member to get stuff.

However, maybe I've got ANET wrong and this is a really simple of catching botters.... nah.

I shouldn't speak so poorly of gaile, it's just some of the brainless things the dumbasses here lead her to do annoy the crap out of me.

I find it amusing they can jump up and down over something so inane that only impacts on gameplay 3 days a year, yet overlook many other more important and glaring issues with the game engine...how about the 50% of skills that heroes don't use properly?!?

Thanks for posting this.
I wish some people would mind their own business, and stop telling others how they should play a videogame.
Some people have multiple accounts with multiple characters on them to take advantage of all the quests. I had better hurry on over to the wiki to report that too, shall I?

I am thanking the OP for sharing a guide to show how to optimize rewards while playing. The OP at no point told me I should not be allowed to play in any other method than his prescribed advice. Ripskin just provided an alternative that some may not have considered.

Someone else came along and decided this alternative was unfair, and that I should not be allowed the alternative the OP of this thread pointed out. In my mind, that is little removed from telling others what they can or can not do. Ultimately, it is ANet's decision on how we are allowed to play their game.
I hope that is more clear. I originally deleted this post as it quotes a previous post, but here it is for clarification.

Yeah this was done last year. Was a good way to get tokens. But I don't see them taking out the quest maybe changing it by moving the npc you got to meet.

OMFG BAN ALL WHO USED THIS EXPLOIT LAST YEAR !!11!!11! CHEATERS BOTTERS 1!!!11!

Ok seriously I don't think this is an exploit, more like a clever idea to get most of a porly designed quest. This could be a way for people who can't farm effectively to get some money. I guess quest will either be removed completely or it will remain the same. I just can't think of a way they could change it on a such a short notice

I hope that is more clear. Thanks, that cleared it up. I cottoned on to what you were saying and deleted my post while you were responding. It was a stupid response on my part and i thought better of it. Soz about that.

And I don't think this is an exploit. You're just creating new characters and deleting them. I do that with PvP chars all the time. Are mules an exploit? They give you more storage that other people with fewer character slots does. OMG OMG shouldn't we report them too?

It's over because you're not getting 10 piles of dust? Or It's over so you're not getting 10 piles of dust?
