Its not really a major bug with the system itself, but a loophole that allows you to do the [tourthankyou command multiple times. I'd explain it better but I don't want to give out all the details until the fix has been made..

All I can say is that its probably the same issue that happened with people being able to add 1000+ luck to an item (before the 400 cap was made) using only one deed. That was fixed but apparently it wasn't even thought that the same problem could happen with newbie tours. :(

I toured dozens of new players, geared them and never bothered to ask for a [tourthankyou . I find my reward in the thought that I bring my my small contribution to the fact that we have a large and friendly community (wich is obviously more fun than playing a dead shard where nobody talks to eachother).

P.S.: Provider-wide IP ban would be a really bad idea. Usually, the greifing expoiters have good enough internet knowledge and know how to connect to a proxy server...

would be nice to see maybe instead of ED for the tour tickets, maybe 'rep' points that get added so when you hover your curser over someone and there name comes up it also displays the 'rep' points, just a thought.

Maybe this combined with Anarchy's clothing idea would be a great idea. Points achieved = better or cooler clothing item (kind of like vet reward system choice wise). But nothing epic stat wise, just cool clothes or semi awesome house deco. :nod:

Watch out for young player wearing bone helmet, bone harvester, black leather armor, black skirt. They are like a recurring nightmare, spamming the shard with their own brand of doom.

Sounds like you're describing Lady Gaga.

The problem has been fixed, so all good from here :)

If you haven't read the post about trashing tickets, if you have any tickets from a player that you didn't tour, read more here:
