However, this gives a good insight into the other kind of player, the one who sees this as a competition to "beat the game" or "beat the others" and will use every trick to be on the same level as everyone else. Am I misreading this or is this indeed how it is -- i.e., once an exploit is public knowledge you feel as though it's fair game for everyone and it does not matter if it breaks the game's experience? |
I'm dissatisfied with the game and I knew of none of the exploits mentioned (except the gem-cutter one that lets you cut level 80 gems before a Tier 3 Guild City). I doubt most of the people that are unhappy are exploiters. I would guess that many are unhappy about Funcoms inability to patch one thing without breaking two other things. It was frustrating watching them mess up so much (even things that weren't broken to begin with are broken now). I don't hate the game though.
