Wasn’t the first time they did that, either.
I keep bringing up fence foundation stacking, because I used to have hot discussions about whether that’s building abuse or not. Then they weighed in officially and said it was not, and I had to shrug and accept it.
Fast-forward and they’re banning people left and right, and everyone’s convinced that’s why, except that it can’t be, right? Because I’ve kept the receipt and I keep pointing people to the post where they said it. And I keep pointing that out right up to the point where they decide to post “yeah, no, it’s an exploit” and I’m left there looking like more of an idiot than usual.
The icing on the cake was when they decided to completely remove the building technique because they just couldn’t deal with the constant infractions, so now legit PVE builders who would use that technique sparingly for aesthetic purposes had to pay the price for Funcom’s inability to properly moderate their own servers.
Yeah, I’m still salty about that whole thing.
