“defend wins are worthless.” Right. Because no one’s seen the video, posted by someone in this very thread.

This is a still from the video that set off the minor firestorm about this particular exploit a few months ago. That is how many resources the exploit delivers, and known exploiters are still in this thread laughably trying to defend themselves.

There’s still a mirror of it (the exploiter removed the original). The video itself didn’t say how to reproduce but someone spilled the beans in the thread (which was removed, see #1 in Sirrian’s OP).

Wouldn’t it be super easy to check the logs to see who ever got that big a cash reward for a pvp battle, and especially multiple times?

Because exploiting like that, especially repeatedly, should be a ban for life, aka delete the account.

Ah, so basically it takes (at least) 2 people… one who gets the l00t, and one (or more) to keep losing against that person?

Yeah… In not sure exactly how it was done but its the reason for this[quote=“Sirrian, post:1, topic:24859”]  
There was quite a bit of lively discussion yesterday in in-game chat about the issue where some players would intentionally lose a bunch of games at the start of a week to gain defense wins during the week

And back at that thread some even claimed that doing it was **harder** than actually playing the game…

One could argue that robbing a bank is also harder then earning your paycheck 😉

What robbing a bank?

Not sure where you’re going with that?

Obviously what is described here by Sirrian is an exploit hence the fix they’ve deployed.  
Fixing these is always a good thing.
