1. Facepalm. If you consider something an exploit, you should just stay with sending me PM. But what did you here? Spamming forums + youtube video. This is just stupid.
Btw: if your exp exploit was so huge, then why "The Elder" award is still taken by a dude who doesn't bot?
I wouldn't call it an exploit, though I do support the lowering of the exp for single material crafts. A PM would have been more appropriate, but I didn't feel that it was broken enough to bother with, so I didn't post about it. You still have to find forest maps and then cut down all of the trees and whatnot, which takes time. It is essentially exp-wise pretty much on par with molotoving mantis. Hunting anything above mutated molerats with a decent combat character can match the XP gained from it, and heavily surpass it in some cases.
The only difference is, if you have a group of people quickly snag up about 10,000 logs and put it in a pile, it will get a char from 1-24 in short order. But that's a lot of work.
As far as "drama" goes, Lackey was as diplomatic as possible. He didn't make the video, it was a parody video I made because a few friends were using that method and I thought it was kind of a really shitty way to play a game, hence all the pomp and sound effects and sarcasm.
The only people who saw it were them, and whoever came into this thread.
