Hello, CCP should keep a list of previously declared exploits that was later fixed if they dont already. It can help the company avoid introducing new exploits in future patches.
Last but not least it should be publically avaiable so that players can go over it and get some nostalgia but it could also be helpful to others.
Important fixed exploits are on the exploits page, like “avoiding CONCORD” is not possible anymore as far as I know.
I don’t see the value of publicly sharing all obscure exploits, this only increases the chance players get to know them, abuse them or get inspiration to find and abuse similar exploits.
You’re asking for a list of all known exploits to be published which will give certain individuals things to try and while they might not work as the exploits are patched, they are now armed with greater knowledge to begin testing around the edges to look for new, adjacent exploits.
Meanwhile normal players get nothing from it, the developers make no additional money yet now require additional vigilance.
In this context, the distinction is “hackers” and “non hackers”, servicing one group doesn’t benefit the other, in fact it can make things worse for the non hacker group. Have you ever been in a situation where you wanted to use Contactless payments on your phone but today’s the day you left your wallet at home and today’s also the day the bank wants you to pin-verify? That’s what hackers achieve for non-hackers in a banking and payments context.
In a video game it will look like the removal or gimping of certain features.
On a website, like, I dunno, Reddit? That can look like you having to “wait 9 minutes to post again”
You get the idea - well, you would get the idea if you weren’t doing some sort of stubborn mule routine right now
Totally unrelated to the topic, but I have a nice thing to share: An historian once told me that in ancient greece where the open forum discussion became widespread, sometimes people got put to jail and were thrown into a pit or poisoned if they provoked the audience and disturbed public peace one time too often! Isn’t that interesting? Lets discuss it or not!
I’d rather like to see thin-skinned people than thick-headed people here, to be honest. At least the former listen to criticism, if only a bit too much.
That’s in a unique category of its very own.
They’ve patched out all the known methods of avoiding the righteous retribution of CONCORD. Further, ccp have declared that should anyone, deliberately or unintentionally, find a new means to avoid CONCORD, then that is an Exploit and the banhammer may be wielded.
