Why do people care so much? This is a game where you play against the house "MA/FPC"... not each other like "WOW" or some other subscription based MMORPG. Any advantage gained does not in turn hurt anyone... maybe a bit on the economy side because a few mid levels can hunt a big mob that might actually give them something decent in the loot compared to there alternatives.... but in the grand scheme I think the impact is very minor.
Even with you playing vs the "house" they still win since you cant kill the mob for free... just armor/fap decay free....
Who cares... reminds me of the people who bitched at people who used autoclickers...
If it dont hurt anyone...
"Just because you can do something, means YOU SHOULD do it"
So if i tank lets say a warlock "normally", and you use an ML-35, then jump into a VTOL every time it gets close, fly away and do it again until dead... or ping-pong it with a friend using VTOL to not get hit, jumping in every time it gets close, or trap it, or or or.
You actually think youre taking extra peds from MA and my loot stays the same as always?... Think again.
And no your not "playing against the house", the house takes a cut every day regardless how you and i do, and if we do well,
then another player will have to pay for it, not MA. Only possible way to "hurt" MA/FPC economically is to not deposit/withdraw, since what you do ingame has zero impact on how much they earn, since they already have the RL money.
That means you play against me, and im sorry but personally i get pissed when you cheat ("you" as in any player doing this, purely fictional example), since that makes it harder for anyone else playing "by the rules" to have a chance in here, not like its easy anyway.
There will be "X" amount of peds available to pay out on any given period of time, and
if you hunt cheaper than the game is designed for it to be possible, the ones that pay for that will be players that dont use some sort of sploit.
Now how do i know this? Simple, think of the 1X0 axes.
They were eco beyond insanity, which was ok to begin with since
they were designed only for absolute newbies to use as a step on the way.
But when people noticed it was easy to profit with them, which led to like 70% of the game beginning to use those and what happened?
All fine and well there besides one "small" thing: While people were using the axes
anyone using
anything else was so fucked it was unbelievable loot wise.
Now im sure alot would say "boohoo you should have used the axes then", but if everyone had moved to axes that would mean what... that everyone profited?
Think about it.
Exploits/bugs/tricks/whatever only work if very few people use it. If it turns into something everyone uses
the system will react and even it all out.
No i dont think it matters much to ingame Eco if 10 people do this (or any other exploit). Now if hundreds start doing it (and i think its in that range by now tbh) it will fuck it up not only for the "ubers" whatever the hell thats supposed to mean by now, but for everyone.
Btw I think most of us can agree that the system could be alot more challenging like some state, with the possibility to maybe track, trap, sneak etcetc options for hunting. What i dont get though is how does that automatically translate to it being ok to make your own rules up/break the existing ones?
Thats pretty much like saying its ok to rob someone (without any further comparison), since you think the law is stupid irl, and you should therefor be allowed since you noticed it was possible and profitable.
Oh and another btw, i dont think anyone wants to take away the useability of the VTOL's for escaping mobtrains and similar, neither players or developers.
Would say theres a pretty good chance of that being the reason there is no fix yet? Since they want to do it right? At least i hope so.
Again though the post was mostly ment as info, so people know theres a risk in what they are doing, since both me and alot of other people that sent cases in to find out if this was a "feature" or a mistake, were told its a lockable/bannable offence.
Would piss me off as bad as anyone else to suddenly get a mail with a warning,
or saying im locked for doing something i didn't know was wrong, and where the only info source was some post on a forum its not sure i even visit.
And on top of that a post ages after the problem was known, since its taken over a month to get a response.
That and to
again ask that our dear developer gods:
As a general thing,
please post info like this where everyone can read it, so all knows asap if there is something they're not allowed to do. No wonder people think its all right to do whatever the way it is atm...
Yet today we have a official autoclicker integrated ingame and less tired crampy fingers. Regardless of the VTOL "cheat", the house still wins, as always.
Also used the VTOL to hightail it out of an area if I accidentally aggro a big mob that'd one-shot me.
