Exploits / Hacking concerns

by Viper » Sun Mar 29, 2015 6:38 pm

Dear Community,

The server opened one month ago, with more players than we could ever imagine.
The desire to be the best at all costs has caused some players to take advantage of our server, to appear better than others. Another thing has been that since the server population is so large, there are some individuals who seek to acquire real money from it. This leads to abuse we needed to sanction.

For information, in the past month:
* More than 1.500 accounts were banned (76 since this morning),
* 250 bots were spotted and banned,
* Over 25 exploits fixed.
Thus far, the server economy has been preserved from hacking, by reverting or deleting unauthorized money or items.

To make it more clear, this kind of attitude isn't acceptable.

If you used an exploit and haven't received a sanction *yet*, feel free to contact an administrator before the end of next week. After that date, Staff will assume that you used/are using exploits on purpose which is unacceptable and will lead to a permanent ban.

Please don't test us on this point.

Best regards,
Nostalrius.

is it considered to be an exploit to cast projectile damage-dealing spells while in melee range with autoattack in such a way that the autoattack and spell can go off at the same time(for example lightning bolt+autoattack spam), doing damage from both at once, which is a central mechanic used in hunter dps?(aimed shot+autoshot at the same time)

reading my post history from before server release can tell you more about this

any casting time spell should reset auto swing timer.and comparing auto aimed /multi/auto shot ration to casting a spell while using melee at the exact same time goes against everything what casters and melee are about.
