View Full Version : Problem with the Elite-pet not being character bound in the beginning

First of all this pet glitch didn't just give people a few freebies but it has been really exploited.
Second these aren't just a few little freebies, 300k or more for, let's say, 5 characters (76 and below) saved because they already got the 77 cap reward is a HUGE advantage.
It would be really unfair if people could keep the exploited rings and have cap reward for all their characters while other people have to cap them all.
Furthermore it wasn't announced that you get cap-reward for all of your chars if you cap one of them fast and I believe it was not intended.

Problem:
As the elite cap pet was not character bound you could craft elite
rings for all toons.
As the BSM cap has been there for about 2 years (idk how long exactly)
many people have capped several characters to level 76 and as a
result they could take a huge advantage of this glitch.
Even e.g. level 56 characters who have capped during balefort sewers
cap can now be still level 56 and have 2-piece-ring which is pretty
overpowered in pvp (imagine they also got founders..super overpowered)

Many people just keep quiet and let this discussion pass without comment until it's all water under the bridge.

Kinda true i capped every class 76 and am just demotivated at doing 1.5m of experience just for a 2 pc on all classes. Kinda saddens me now that if i would of bought plat and capped one toon i could of gotten a ring on all my classes like the rest of the people.

Please take the rings away from people who abused the stash petbug. I just brought some platinum and can only cap one toon. while other people got 2 piece in all their toons.... Plus the toon im capping ( my main darkterror ) Wont get ANYTHING for doing so. After this massive mistake and the overpopulation of ""elite players " you guys better let the old players keep getting stronger. Because now we gotta deal with your mistake..our real elite toons are being downgraded. I could get a 3piece fox toon with stashable pet....but what do i get ? A downgrade.

Delete the glitch rings if that's even possible

I don't yet assume it is a glitch, more than a few posts have mentioned that it is possible and there is no response.
I know the moderators read most posts as many are edited daily yet this remains.
I wouldn't be the least surprised to see them say something to the effect of " it was or intention as the requirement was so high that you could do that."

Until they say -oops, or we know, I won't assume either way and if they say nothing I will gladly give my 6 one piece toons a 2 piece ring.

This is most likely the last cap anyhow.

I say make it stashable again , except only 76 player can equip it , I mean c'mon 300k xp? I can't cap 4 76s, that's insane. 1 is enough

The problem is 300k itself. There's nothing elite in grinding 300k, it's just boring. I capped one char, was already boring enough, cant think of capping the others

I agree, these exploited rings must all be removed. These rings were not earned.

None of us would know why you did.

The last major exploitable glitch I can remember was the fang elixir glitch. Stg made a post about it after they found out warning ppl the next day. Here being that it's a week after and no word. That is what leads me to believe they don't see a problem ( I still allow I could be wrong).
Ppl weren't banned unless they were selling the secret to how it worked. Those that did it were simply rolled back.
So if it's unintended I bet they'd just remove them with a forum explanation.
I doubt they'd ban over it.

Hi all,

Just letting you know that the devs are looking into what action to take on this issue. I'll post an update in announcements when I know more. Thanks!

I think they should take the rings from all the people who took advantage of this bug or move the rings onto a capped character and off of the non-capped. This could really mess up PvP giving anyone who capped at 77 an advantage over everyone else.

Seeing as only a few people have capped 77 between when it came out and Monday who cares?

Wait so people are now telling me rings make a huge advantage?! Lol please.... I've been saying that for such a looooooonnnnnggggg time. One of my more favorite responses is "stop complaining rings don't matter or help much." THIS IS THE BEST ONE --->> "you should have capped earlier"

So that is my answer to you all now. Stop complaining not many people have capped from 76-77 from Monday so GET OVER IT

"RINGS DONT MATTER. AND YOU SHOULD HAVE CAPPED EARLIER!!"

Take away the reward for the people who endlessly grinded and capped by Monday afternoon! Great idea!
While you're at it let's take away the egg and all the other exclusive things at every other cap because it's just nottttt faaaaairrrrr!!!!

This is hilarious. There's so much hypocrisy in this thread.

I can only hope you realize how stupid is what you just wrote. Mixing elite egg - announced and fair reward for fast grinders - which nobody ever complained on with unfortunate and unwanted bug... I really would expect some more sophisticated reason from senior player like you. Talking about hypocrisy while you are the lucent example of this characteristic.

I could give an elaborate reason for why I disagree with this, but I think I'll save my breathe (thumbs rather) on this one. What I think has already been posted above, and I thanked it.

^^ his point is right though. He was going to say exactly what I did but I said it first. Fact of the matter is some people missed out on the glitch so tough sh*t for them. Glitch is passed and patched up now so the crying needs to stop.

With this new level people should be more appreciative and greatful that we get an opertunity to get a ring and earn more titles ect ect. Although I will say that sts should have done a through check on glitches like this because it seems pretty hard to miss.

Thanks for explaining. Still I'll never agree or get comfortable with this. I vote for fair play rather than some glitches. If this was regular part of reward for Cut-Throat players, I would fully accept that and would only congratz you for having this advantage (call me hypocrite if you don't trust) but now, also regarding that even some players who did cap fast enough still haven't exploited that glitch, it's regularly unfair in my oppinion.

First of all the advantage in this case are the free rings for alt chars not the rings themselves (rings should be given to capped chars only). So your response is not really on this topic. It's about the pet glitch not about advantage of elite rings in PvP.

And no not many have capped but you can't just let a few people exploit a glitch and then do nothing. So was this announced? Did anyone know he has to cap fast? No. It's not fair and games should be as fair as possible. Get over it.

Eggs etc were announced...this one was simply a glitch an not intended. Nobody knew this would happen. And endlessly grinding doesn't mean pay 1,5k plat and enable xp gain 24/7

"Some people missed out on the glitch so tough ... for them." --- It was a glitch and NOT ANNOUNCED, nobody would complain if it would have been announced since everyone would have been able to decide whether to cap fast to profit or to let it pass. Please think about what you are writing before you claim the truth for yourself.

Also this is a huge disadvantage to most because those who abused the glitch saved 1-6k plat and several days of grinding to 77 while the rest of us have to spend days and plat to cap our toons.
