Money Glitches? Just a observation.

Since Destiny has been reported to have an player economy it runs the risk of player's discovering money glitches that will be exploited and youtubed and what will be the response from Bungie? Patches to outright bans? Or perhaps some well earned praise. What? Ban them! Wait... not so fast. Playing GTA V I found a glitch this morning on youtube that allows players to resell personal vehicles infinitely. You can walk away very rich in less than a hour. Before that it was replaying the mission over and over or grabbing a boat and farming a briefcase full of money in the sea. Each had a risk. Some of those missions are not so easy when solo or at low level. Some tried to swim without dive equipment. Unlike AFKs It seemed they earned every cent by facing in-game threats as much as racing or death matches. Right now players are running rampant trying to sell cars and motorcycles at Los Santos Customs while other players have staked those points of entry to gank them before they can enter in hopes to collect whatever amount the victim was carrying. That's just as dangerous as Survival or a Death Match, if not more so with the huge risk involved against other players who have radar and advantage of being ready to strike a player loading into the spawn point by LScustom. I've seen it done and it's both awesome for the hunter as nerve wracking for the target. Now a couple game blogs have reported Rockstar is going to patch it and those who used it might face a ban, which I find funny due to here's a game developer who sold a game for a billion dollars based on characters who skirt the fringe and cheat the system being thieves and when the players find loopholes it's five stars on their butts to protect the game economy, which everyone equates to Rockstar trying to protect the micro-transactions in reality. Call them cheaters but really deep down those guys are beta testing. They are finding the loopholes. I found one in the third week that might have been patched... where activating your inventory and repeatedly pressing the "ecola" will down the attack Helicopters in Survival. The other three guys were screaming not to disclose it because they got it to work as well. Note: I think it's gone now. So it was fun while it lasted. So you're playing Destiny and you kill a boss next thing you're doing is saving and switching a character and switching back and wallah you get to fight the boss over again and gain extra loot and money till you're rolling in it. If you have to fight that boss over and over it doesn't bother me that a player faced it repeatedly to earn that glimmer. Does it bother you or would it be something you'd let slide knowing they had to face it over and over? These kind of glitches are going to crop up from guys jumping into tanks and letting the Ai blast away gaining them xp to weird jumps using menus to spawning saved games to who knows what. Just when xp or in game currency is present get ready for the Destiny gold rush I'm sure it will be interesting if it's a complex economy.

  • I imagine all the really sweet loot won't be found in the market stalls. They'll be at the end of an epic quest. So, sure maybe people will figure out a way to game the system, but they won't get Gjallerhorn without putting in some effort.
