An old PP exploit (has been fixed)

[Yakk]

I just was poking at lucy, and found an exploit that SOE already fixed.

Fire Opal -> Oval Cut Fire Opal is a combine that can be done with 95%+ success.

vendor price of Fire Opal: 40 pp
vendor price of Oval Cut Fire Opal: currently 40 pp, was 50 pp prior to Jan 16th.

That would have generated an average of about 5 pp surplus on each COMBINE.

(Note: this exploit was smooshed, I just found it interesting that I spotted it on lucy.)

Anyone know if the exploiters found that one prior to the fix?

I do not recall seeing tons of Oval cut Fire Opals on vendors, so either they were extraordinarily discreet or just not greedy....given what's happening with Shaped Taaf's at the moment, I give a low probablility to the discretion and non-greediness of exploters in general, lol.

Anyways, closing the thread, let's not give exploiters any more bright ideas, eh?
