Immortalmerc, you are right that it is commonsense that insurance is not intended to be used that way. However, many of us have asked devs and gms to clarify on this issue before and they have NEVER said it was illegal or an exploit. To spin your example around, I cheated but I did it in a way to not break EULA and Devs did not say it was a cheat. So is that cheating then? Of course we all know now that the dev's think it is a cheat, it is easy to say that in hindsight. But please consider the months of no response on this issue, and given an illusory perspective that it was OKAY.

Alfredson just to clarify my statement was general not directed at you

its commonsense that they did not intend the insurance to be used in this way anything else is just an excuse  i cheated but i did in a way to not break EULA so its not cheating? exploiting a flaw/bug in the game is always a no no in MMORPGs all over you get caught you get banned .

Noone is covering up anything Saha. Obviously the game mechanic was created by the DEVs. They are responsible for any game mechanic or bit of coding.

But you are solely responsible for exploiting it.

I am extremely amused by the fact that someone who not only played Neocron, but also liked it enough to call himself "Dromsex" is complaining about using game mechanics in creative ways. It makes me wonder how you even managed to play it, considering that just figuring out a proper CON/Armor setup felt like exploiting faulty game mechanics.
I imagine you must have written an email to the support every time you actually got something to work, demanding that they ban you immediately as those features clearly weren't meant to be functional.

Well... apparently, the simple fact that you could use the the insurance system the way it was designed... is an exploit.

It was a flawed design from the start. Just like we could consider that everyone that sold kernels before the price change, or everyone that produce T4 modules before they require the new material, were exploiters!

I think the devs are forgetting that the bots cost money to produce. It's not a miracle 1 million gain each time. No, it's 10 time less in reason of the production cost.

Plus, I believe it was helping the market to stay healthy, lots of buy order for basic materials, as they could be directly converted in bots, and the in cash.

It's like selling material to NPCs smile


People that exploited this didn't made that much money in the end.  devs removed 5-10x what they should have.

"using game mechanics in creative ways" lmfao its easier to just say exploit its only 1 word guess your not guilty here r u.  MK=2 and X-23  and m2s were the heaviest exploiters trying to minimize what they have done it seems by their posts
