Auction House Clock exploit (duping)

Post by SXR Feed Reader »

exploit

You might think that Diablo III is an online game, definitely not an MMO like WoW but definitely an online. So why the hell Blizzard use your computer’s system clock to determine Auction House transactions!!! Is this a single-player game where duping doesn’t matter? Why do some Korean players have 4 billion gold, yes, that [...]

honestly, not much of blizzard's fault. There's just a ton of foreigners that played & used to still play D2 up to it's release. In particular, koreans.

Eh, actually, while what you say is true, it IS their fault. Completely. If any area of the game was to get tested, exploiting RMT and the AH was Priority #1 especially since they force you always online.

yea but when it's koreans....it doesnt matter how well you make/test the game. If there's a huge korean base that's gunna play it, bugs, glitches, loopholes, etc are gunna be found by them, and massively exploited on a large scale. lol

(I don't get why so many Koreans just loooooove them some blizzard games....starcraft & D2. I haven't heard of any other popular game that has a huge korean playerbase) Imo, china & korea host the large amount of players that are the scum of the world's playerbase. Potentially, they can easily be the destruction of a game. But that's another story. (speakin of which, wish I knew where that pathetic prick Buju Banton was from...(He did pretty much nothing but exploit, and create a few hacks back in NC1))

Racist much ?

And sorry but this was obviously blizzards fault. Sending an auth check when ending an item on the auction house is an insanely basic design flaw.
There already sending data to remove the item and confirm it's cancelled. Adding a time check in there should have been obvious to them.
