Obtaining 60 blueprints, for the respective achievement, costs you 16.500 gold. There are 72 blueprints. So where does your 100k gold cost come from? In this case, I don't know how you want to establish your arguments. Get your facts straight or you will fool yourself.
Why should I call the "Ashbringer exploit" gamebreaking? First, I call the topic related exploit gamebreaking, because you have the possibility to obtain a huge amount of Skins very, very easily by bypassing the legit way, which is extremly long and time consuming. Secondly, you have to judge every bugabuse, every glitch, every exploit, completly different. Third, the transmog exploit you refer to, was - from my perspective - pretty obvious to be fixed at some given time. If you wanted to abuse this exploit, you would end up with your char having low ilvl green items transmogged or retransmog your current gear, all the time (which you can't, since you don't have the item). In the end, you didn't get anything else, than a visual effect. This exploit here, is not about getting a visual transmog, it's about completing a collection, which is accountwide, reusable and once again, very very hard to complete the legit way. Moreover, this collection will stay on your battle.net account forever. Getting perma banned? No problem,new account, still have all pets, all mounts, all achievements, all toys, all transmog. It is huge.
Blizzard could easily fix the "Ashbringer transmog exploit", preventing further exploits and removing existing transmogs.
There was once a bug, which allowed you to obtain Shadowmourne via package modification. If you did this, you got permabanned. If you would obtain Ashbringer with any hack, you can be sure, to be permabanned. It is pretty obvious, that posting in the official forums, bragging about your unlegit stuff, causes a shitstorm, but that does not mean, that blizzard is doing anything.
So if I try to recap your post, you are reasoning why there won't be any bans. Although I don't approve your argumentation, you still might be right. We don't know whats going to happen, but assuming, that there won't be any consequences, because of any reasons, is stupid. There are always consequences. You're on ownedcore, so many people here got permabanned for trying out stuff while they posted "naah its undedected" "naaah I don't think they would ban because in the past...". In most of the threads, you can find people starting their post with "I don't think you can get banned....". People always use public transmogs, without even thinking about consequences and in the current state, there are so many exploits/bugs in WoW, where you have to really think about if something is intentional or not and what can happen, if...
I'm really interested how Blizzard will react to this one. This is basically their deciding action for the future which determine the usefulness of wardrobe exploits

1)package modification = tempting with game files, which is in harsh category of violation
2)Why be so agressive, it's like you really want people to get ban.
3)Blue prints summary:
10x small slot building, 750g for lvl 2, 1000g for lvl 3, so 1750g per building , you need at least 3 slots, so 5250g
5x medium slot buildings, 1000g for lvl 2 and same for lvl 3, so 2000g per building , x2 -> 4000g
5x large slot buildings, 1500g for lvl 2, and 1000g for lvl 3 , so 2500g per building, x2 -> 5000g
So minimum setup with 3xsmall, 2xmedium , 2x large eats 14250g but if you also upgrade fishing hut and menagerie, which are 2000g per building, add 4000g more.
So with minimum setup, the blueprint exploit allowed you to save min 14250g per garrison, with special fish/pet buildings it's 18250g.
Now multiply 18250g by number of characters and it will be quite significant number. And then multiply by the number of people who used it, and that will be amount of gold that wasn't taken from game.
For the Architect achiev , it's 60 blue prints, we take lowest cost path, in fact because of we know 1lvl buildings, we will need to learn only 40 blueprints. Before you started, you already have spent on 3xsmall 2x large 2x medium + fishing and pet buildings, which are 18250 and it's 40-18 = 22 blueprints.
Next we learn all remaining Level 2 and Level 3 small building blue prints, which is 10-3=7: 7x1750=12250g , so 22-14=8 blue prints, Next we go for Level 2 and Level 3 medium blue prints, which is 5-2=3 : 3*2000=6000g.
Now we miss 2 blueprints, and so it's 2x2500 = 5000g. Total cost = 5000g+12250g + 6000g +18250= 41500g
You would want to do architect once only.
So damage from blueprint exploit was 41500g( architect achiev character) + [number of character] x 18250, let's say you do this on half slots, = 6 characters, it will be 41500 + 5x18250 = 132750g per person who did this. Remove 5x4=20k from this if you dont build fish/pet buildigns on alts. But still no way it's below 100k. And MUCH higher than 16k. Even if you had some patterns already, the damage from the blue print exploit would be around 50k+ for sure per each person.
Still works on EU. I sold my item to Tae'loxe-soulshrivel
Tae'loxe Soulshrivel - NPC - World of Warcraft
For me, this is one of the best exploit...
What did Blizzard think ? Win 10 bg/arenas to buy MoP or BC pvp gear ? This is so illogical.
Worse ! Primordial spirit costs TEN marks of honor, they reach the limits of stupidity xD
5Min ago i buy all PVP gear from Warspear, All old PVE gear from orgrimmar vendor + old pvp gear also from orgrimmar. + heirloom in Undercity and sell it back. Sell to random vendor all that gear almost on Mammoth
also its work with tabards, gear that you need equip to add. But its take alot of gold via void storage, cuz i buy tons items
CAN CONFIRM STILL WORKING, thanks! <3
~"In Exploration, we believe, and in Discovery we practice. Keep exploration alive!"~
Add Wintergrasp items to the list. They are still working.
Warning to those to be careful what they're doing whilst trying this. I bought the gear and entered a battleground without thinking and after the bg was over I couldn't sell them back for tokens. Lost 12 tokens accidentally.
Actually it costs exactly 48.150g for all the blueprints available at the garrison vendor. (just to straighten your facts) That's not even counting the free books you can trade for blueprints which you can sell back and make solid money out of them considering the exploit. There are at least 2 books for a 1.000g blueprint and 2 for a 1.500g blueprint leading the total to 53.150g and this is if you only do one side of the quest for each zone (since now you can do both, you can add a 5.000g more to this total, leading to 58.150g per character). Considering everybody got at least one to two character boost with WoD/Legion, this leads us to 58.150g*3 = 159.450g extremely easily saved just with this bug. Even though 100k on each character was exaggerating the outcome, you fooled yourself even more considering the way you answer people and the quality of your facts. (FYI: 16.500g/60 ~ 275g per blueprint, I'd like to play the same game as you do if items are on sale like this for you)
So now you are mixing up package modification - which has always been the ultimate offense always leading to permanent ban - with a bug that revolves only on Blizzard's poor coding and design of the new wardrobe system. First things first: This bug can even be found by people unaware of it, it happened already and some people went crazy on trade chat about that. It does not require a lot of setup, it is one of the easiest bug to reproduce and has a success rate of 100%, making it even more obvious than the garrison blueprints bug.
Now on the opposite of the Shadowmourne package modification, you do NOT get any free item, only free cosmetic items that the vast majority of players couldn't care less about. Just have a look at your average Stormwind/Orgrimmar city and tell me most people have put lots of effort in their transmog. The vast majority of them are wearing extremely easy to obtain transmogs or no transmog at all.
And still they didn't. They didn't fix a bug allowing you to transmog the most iconic weapon of vanilla and one of the only transmogable weapon that is absolutely impossible to obtain at this moment. They didn't even banned nor warned people abusing it and bragging about it. This sentence makes my point perfectly.
This "exploit" revolves on a mechanisms created by Blizzard, and the fault is solely originating from them. The A'shran artifact fragments bug is way more game breaking, like extremely game breaking, since now it is close to impossible for both faction to actually kill the opposite faction's leader due to the spawn rate of Crograal and Kronus, people are MASSIVELY abusing it, and no action has been taken, plus they didn't even take time to fix it. The A'shran bug is hurting every single PvP player at this moment and it is a bug that is used knowingly and intentionally by many players, whom could not use it and play the game by the rules. Following your logic, we are one the edge of a massive ban of tens of thousands of players for using this bug.
That's not even mentioning all the guilds who insanely abused the damage buff bug which appeared a few weeks ago to kill all the bosses of HFC in Mythic Mode while they were sitting on 5/13 Heroic Mode and getting loads of items. Those people never got banned nor warned, they didn't even got their items removed nor the achievements, Blizzard did nothing, because this was entirely their fault and even if people could have played by the rules and not used it to kill bosses, they didn't use any advanced trick nor third party software to provoke it. Same goes with the massive ring explosion exploit allowing people to destroy outdoor bosses easily, you could only get banned for this AFTER Blizzard warned people not to use this exploit.
I'd like to pipe in after sufficient use of the exploit with two things;
1) This still works, US servers, and I've "convinced" several of my friends to pvp with me to make the grind for more marks fun (They wanted to do it too)
2) I finally enjoy PvP, knowing that it's balanced now. I never would've tried it since I hated pvp with a passion before, and started this expecting to be carried. Now, I'm doing the carrying and it feels amazing not needing to grind gear outside of my mythic HFC stuff. This exploit got me interested in PvP now that it's more fair.
Again, thanks for posting this. This gave me a good bit of fun to look forward to before Legion and the Invasions. The game felt so stale until I tried this out.
