I really wish that someone on the dev team will come out and explain what the exploit is/was, and how exactly this game is “intended to be played”. I recall when the new explore mode first came out, I failed 2 mini boss fights and 3 boss fights because I was fighting for 3+hours on Warlord IV difficulty. > [@Don't Fight Explore battles on Warlord IV](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/dont-fight-explore-battles-on-warlord-iv/58606): > > Don’t be like me and fight 3+ hours on the wrong difficulty. Go to Casual PvP and set difficulty to normal; then go to Explore and set the desired difficulty there. Thanks to all in the latest update thread who pointed this out. I was slow to catch on. To make matters more frustrating, some Players _and_ Devs knew about it but were neither acknowledging it nor reporting it as a bug because it could be exploited. > [@New explore system really needs some changes!](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/new-explore-system-really-needs-some-changes/58581/11): > > No, we’ve been deliberately NOT filing that bug report, because it has significant benefits in another aspect of the game. I recommend not talking about it explicitly on public forums, except in terms of returning Explore to its intended level of challenge. If the Devs would just say “we are aware this is exploitable” and then describe the exploit, we would know what we are not supposed to do. Like in my mind, I assume they intend for us to not play as an Orc Hero. They haven’t had one in the game, and when it is finally due out on Feb 7, initial responses from top players are less than inspirational. > [@(!)

I will still use it. Others can use their Elf, Fey, and Blue Mana using classes to complete the class event. If the developers want to ban me for not “playing the game as intended”, so be it. It’s my nature. As for other phases of the game, I’ve found that often times the best Banner to use with a faction delve team is _not_ that faction’s Banner. I hope this is not considered an exploit as well, as I might be banned before ever unlocking the Orc Hero class. TL;DR - Devs, please tell us what is considered an exploit, and tell us we’ll be banned if we use it. I have an overactive imagination. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/the-real-reason-casual-pvps-gold-was-nerfed/60033)._
