StaceyPowers Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 What is the single most damaging abuse of a glitch or bug or exploit you ever saw in a game? The worst for me was in a MUD I played where I noticed that everything in the game cost an insane amount of gold. I could not wrap my head around it for a long time. Not all the quests or mobs in the game had been updated to drop more gold, either, so it could be difficult to buy things. Eventually, someone explained to me that massive inflation had taken place. And the entire reason for it was because some quest had glitched at some point in the past, and a player discovered he could basically get endless gold from it. So he abused the glitch to get an insane amount of money, and then it flooded out into the game economy before the admins could catch onto what had happened. As a result, the value of the in-game currency watered down to almost nothing. Does anyone else have any dramatic stories to share of this type of abuse?

Alyxx Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Not in games I have played no. At least not that have affected others. But in MUDs and MMORPG's it can be a pretty big deal to find an exploit. StaceyPowers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Not in any MMOs I've ever played. I've never been that lucky in any game at all as a matter of fact and the honorable side of me wouldn't exploit it because I want to be the best fair and square.

kingpotato Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Same here I dont think I ever encountered something like that, well except maybe in COD Blackops 2 there was this little crawl space where you could duck and camp and kill anyone from a distance and no matter who tried to hunt you they where always on your sight of fire.

Not sure if exploit or tactical advantage. StaceyPowers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds more like the latter to me as he's using a hard-to-spot area on the map to his advantage rather than an outright glitch to gain an advantage over the competition.

True but isnt the point of COD games to not camp ? the gameplay is know for moving around the map and even if you do camp there is always a way to get around the camper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skyfire Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Speed exploits are pretty common on the game these days. I mean I have seen it in the battle royale games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
