So just to clarify, the users who are getting banned are those who exploited the game and the buyers are safe? What are we talking about here?

I do not know if the one performing the exploit was banned. Just that two friends who benefitted from it, did.

im talking about your two banned friends that actively performed the exploit

you don't know if they are banning for those that have received the exploited items -- therefore, there is nothing to be done by mod team on here
(sure they could post a warning and sticky/pin it, but it doesn't change anything until there are confirmed bans on this)

My friends did not perform the exploit. They were benefitters of it. Meaning the person did the exploit while they were in group. The only action they took was to teleport in, pick up the obducite, and leave.

As far as I know, and they have said to me was that I'm providing mats for the group. Not them. I don't believe they are purchasing items, and have denied doing so. I have been doing the trades here and through Diablo trading sites. They are.... Old and don't know the internet ways.

this counts as performing the exploit as this is literally the last step in doing it (being unaware of it does suck tho)

I'm specifying for others. I understand you're wanting to argue for semantics sake. I'm providing information for people reading this, to show that they don't have to be the ones doing the killing/performing the exploit to be banned as a result of guilty by association.

its not guilty by association, its guilty for performing an exploit (unintentional or otherwise)
best you can do is post a PSA thread and warn others to be careful doing this activity in group play where users have to teleport to host/seller to pick up the mats

looks like this should be a prohibited trade and the associated threads offering this should be closed as it leads to account bans on d4

/woops double post

Thanks for your input.

This is the psa mind you. That and awaiting anyone that matters to provide info. I've done what I can so far.

Just a reminder, he's back up and running them again. Sure would be nice to have something done or some sort of deterrent against people getting their accounts banned.
