Your ingame name: mind_trap The offender's ingame name: Bergsprengar A description of what rule they broke/how they broke it: Hacking Items. The user sold me over 20 stacks of Iron Ore that are normally obtainable through challenges, all good so far. The problem is that after he spammed my chest a lot I decided to /invsee him and I noticed that while he was in my shop, iron ores, redstone and black ink sacks were appearing in his inventory like he was completing a challenge but without having any items to complete any challenge, without buying them from me and without having anyone to give them to him since we were just the two of us there! Items where just appearing into his inventory while he was standing in front of me (I was in /vanish). When I asked him where he got them he logged off. I hope Im wrong but I ve got a series of screenshots for you to decide. Evidence/screenshots.
Hi mind_trap, I checked through the challenges and it appears he was completing the "Fisherman" challenge. He has the requisite 10 fish on him, but they do not appear to disappear. I have since confirmed there is a glitch with the challenge and will be reporting it momentarily. Should you see a player take advantage of this in the future, please let us know. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention and uncovering a fairly interesting bug. Please let me know how you would like to proceed. Regards, Melgrath
Oh my, Im so happy I reduced the price of iron ore today just a few minutes before the incident XD. I believe that punishing him wont make much good for as long as this bug exists. I spotted this guy out of luck and curiosity, if the rest of the people who abuse the system sell the iron in their shops there is no way for me to know. He found a loophole in the system and took advantage of it, maybe since you have access to the challenges you can spot the people who traded huge amounts of invincible fish for iron ore. Well I guess since he didn't hack should this report be treated as bug report?
Hi mind_trap, Thank you for your understanding! I have indeed submitted this as a glitch and believe there is a simple workaround for it. Hopefully can get it resolved fairly quickly. Thanks, Melgrath
Today I got another one I went in my shop and I found ink sacks and redstone laying around on the floor so I started to /invsee all who were on the server looking for the cooked salmon which causes the bug. I spotted the player named thebigvu who was also ealrier in my shop selling ores too and I took some screenshots of his inventory.
Hi Mind_trap I wanted to follow up with you on this as I know it has been a bit of time. Just a brief recap, is that this is indeed a but that has been reported to the Admins. If you would like, please keep reporting those abusing this glitch. I am working to warn players using it that continued use can result in discipline. I am hoping to avoid banning players who may be ignorant of the rules on glitches/exploits, but at the same time do not want the economy to get out of hand. With your approval, I would like to close and archive this thread having talked to one of the two players you mention (I have the other on a list to talk with when I catch him online.) If you see additional players exploiting this glitch, please feel free to report it and I will take appropriate action. Best Regards, Melgrath
Good Day! I am pleased to announce that this glitch has been closed. The challenge that was endlessly repeatable is no longer able to completed multiple times. Should you notice any other fun glitches like this please let us know! I will locking and archiving this report as resolved. Should you disagree with these actions, please let the staff know. Cheers, Melgrath
