I spent most of my day dealing with these. Today was over 12,000 ranks and roughly 300 stat points. Gone.

That is one weekend.

How many people did those ranks and stats come from?

Sorry, that is heading into account information territory (not for you, but the people on the receiving end of this could do some quick figuring).

Oh? Maybe I should rephrase the question. How many characters total lost those ranks? I was just curious if it was a lot or just a few(100 or 5, for example). If you can't answer that, then nevermind. =)

There were not a lot of characters involved. Surprisingly few, actually.

And that's all we'll say about that.

Fair enough. And that's really awful. That's a LOT of ranks/stats for a few characters to lose.

Not really, that they're loosing ranks and stats at all means it's at least their second offense.

I know, I meant it's awful actually losing such a large number of ranks and stat points.

Yes it is. It makes me wonder why people keep scripting when this is the known result.

In point of fact, they will. They may not grow as fast, but if the numbers were the point, everyone would be playing Progress Quest.

DR has its own version of that, but there are no people there.

You mean that's not the case?

Scripting the 'boring stuff' is a gateway crime. It leads to scripting everything. Eventually you're high level in a game you hardly played. I just don't get it. I know some people umm.. play? Fallen. Just never understood the enticement.

Which is a GREAT way to keep the use of all your fingers, and is totally okay as long as you stay ATK.

True. Let me rephrase.

AFK scripting the 'boring stuff' is a gateway crime.

Ahh, Progress Quest. I miss that game. Maybe I'll go roll up a Double Wookiee Bastard Lunatic.
