Locked Wrote:On topic; Why the lack of updates? I figured it doesn't take long to "turn off" the "malicious" glitch that was unintended by just making potions go back to regular price. Unless the delay would have to be the decision of a rollback or not. Was the glitch really that bad for it to be rollback-needed?
I'd say it was pretty malicious. I read something where a person who had bought 4800 Sunset Dews in a minute's time and resold them each time would gain 12m in profit. Since this was doable every minute, in over an hour's time of doing this, he'd have generated roughly 720m mesos. The servers have been up since 6am EST this morning and didn't go down until almost 1pm EST. That's seven hours. Had that person been doing this for those 7 hours, that's 5.04 billion mesos generated, and that's just from one person, too. With the amount of people doing this constantly, yeah, the economy's broken (moreso than it already is). Doing a rollback would be better than not doing one, especially considering this exploit can be done by "legits" anyway.
