It´s not a direct gold exploit. you can make gold with it by sending these items - yes but its not a gold exploit.
anyway - he´s a troll with a dildo in his ass so he is feeling happy right now and needs some bitchslaps.

[skzisghost]

[WonderousKeys]

Weird that the inscriptionist didn't get banned. I am curious as to if bans are still trickling in or is the massacre over? I have a banker account I still nervously hit enter when typing in the password expecting to get the banned menu lol.

Blizz can ban 50+ thousand accounts, without having any effect for their annual income.

Could you elaborate bit more on this?How banning 50k accounts is not going to have any impact on their income?

I forget how many people actually play, but say it is 8 million....50K out of 8 million is a very small percentage.
Not saying pac7 was correct, but I imagine that is his logic.

50,000 people * $14.99/month=

$749,500 per month, net loss.

749,500*12= $8,994,000

So almost 9 million dollars per year net loss..

Edit: Not Including if any of them buy pets, mounts ect from the Blizzard Store. Which I'm sure lots of people do.

I think I remember reading an article about a year ago that stated Blizzard makes about $785 million dollars in revenue just from WoW each year. So losing about $9 mil...big whoop

Edit: Not to mention that Activision had a profit for more than $1 billion in 2011... This part I can prove

Activision Blizzard posts $1 billion profit in 2011 - GameSpot.com

9 Million they could spend on hiring people to prevent stuff like this from happening .
Or just making this shitty game better

I registered to add that looking at the activity feed on some of my characters, it looks like they have been rolled back, i.e. the cards/decks have been unmade on some but not all my toons.

Is it possible that they rollback all the toons this way? Anyone else notice this?

ETA: None of my guild banks have been touched, and I had a friend take out 800k from them.


What would be the point of rolling back individual toons if they were going to be permabanned?

I checked armory day 1 of the exploit and noticed this. the armory feed is just buggy i don't think it has anything to do with rollbacks.

I would imagine that they are going to have a hell of a time getting rid of the dupes.

I would say a good % of the people who were perm banned will resub under different accounts, many of which who will have to rebuy the various expansion packs, etc. which equates to $30-50 per account that purchases again.

[Devanh]

The people who do exploits like this, in Blizzard's eyes, are people who play to make money. This means that generally have no choice but to keep playing. Say they did ban 50k people, and 50% resub and buy all they expacs; that means Blizz is making 3 or 4 times as much money that month than if they had not banned the players and got sub money from all of them. Moreover, these players are likely to get banned again and repeat the process. In reality, they probably make more money from banning people using small excuses like this exploit than they would do keeping the subs, and they definetely save more time for their employees - the amount of people complaining about being banned is nowhere near the amount who would complain about no bans being given for exploiters.

Anyway, too bad to anyone who did this not expecting a perma. The reason no action was taken on other larger exploits of the last year (hidden achieves/guild level exploit) is that they has no negative impact on anyone. 200 days of my life dodged a bullet here; if i didn't have an exam this week I would probably be among the leechers here begging for an unban.

As for the exploit itself, it has opened a lot of new ideas and possibilities for future exploits. Definetely confirmed something about stacks i needed to know, and helped explain how and why certain mechanics in this game work. I haven't repped for this though, because I have hard time beleiving Omo actually found this (based on what i've heard from older RAoV members).

**I've gotten hacked by a former friend of mine so I apologize for the thread deletion, and I will add the video back as soon as possible. Btw every last exploit he has will be released now, so stay tuned ^^.

Can't wait! Haha
