* 💰  The exploit targeted the Burial Chambers map, forcing it to **drop from other maps** and guaranteeing the "**The Brothers**" divination card, which rewards **5 divine orbs**.
* 🛑  The exploit was quickly fixed by the game developers, but not before impacting the in-game economy, with some players **accumulating significant wealth** through the exploit.
* 🔍  It is believed that only one group publicly admitted to using the exploit, but there may have been others involved who have **not been identified**.

* 🔒  The incident highlights the challenges of **policing exploits in online games** and the need for **better detection and prevention measures**.
* 🌐  The game's developer, Grinding Gear Games, has a history of quickly addressing exploits once they become public knowledge, but there are concerns about **how many exploits may go undetected**.
* 🌟  Despite the exploit, many players are still enjoying the new league content and are hopeful that the impact on the economy will be limited due to the **quick response from the developers**.

ready to blaze with a brand new exploit not as bad as it was in Acropolis, but as you can see on the screenshot, it is still kind of bad. Uh, this is not the Kure exploit, which I thought it was. Uh, that was I say exploit, but with kirak, you just don't do dry C force it on kirak missions with the scouting report that gives you Maps you've not yet completed. And then you can get the full stack of div cards, and you could get, you know, something like the fortunate and stuff like that. That was fixed. This one also, hope you know, God bless fixed as well very quickly. Uh, but this one, you would scry a burial chamber onto a lower tier map. It would force that map to drop brothers. And if you don't know, brother gives five divines. And you can force with Scaro plenty. You're forcing the div cards to drop. Uh, right, burial T10. You force on a natural one, uh, or whatever it is. You just, yeah, it's really just scry memes.

plus div. Scarab equals Divine printer Gober uh. It doesn't really matter exactly how it's done now that it's fixed, thank God, but yeah. It was just like scrying onto her lower tier forcing div cards to drop, and the only one that can is the one that gives all that juicy. It's not only that card, but uh, one of them was the five Divine Brothers, uh, which is kind of crazy as you can see they printed in the last couple days quite a bit. Now it seems like this was one group that was doing this. Now of course we only know of the one group because they snitched on themselves and they got themselves banned, uh, hopefully they didn't trade all the stuff away or do whatever. I mean the Harm's already done, you know, give whatever 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 mirrors, you know, imperion group, uh, actually 20 mirrors impan group noticed mirror.

prices going up yesterday so they weren't buying them with whatever group Farm. They're doing you know all that dgen stuff all the Mage Bloods all the hand Hunters. Yeah, there's some uh some there funny stuff going on in the economy, but it's removed and there is another thing okay fub maybe was involved in the drama says Reddit sleuth detectives uh. It was funny in his video he did have the scarabs uh. He did have some scarabs in his map device that were looking a little bit suspicious in his little update video. Now of course that didn't completely uh you know make his guilt you know a guilty verdict but uh yeah all we have to do is go to his profile and check out his challenges and see that he's not yet scri to map. Now maybe right there was like he ended the Stream maybe he did an all to account and the couple you know and then like or maybe he was you know with another you know he was in another group or like he was a mastermind or he maybe

he traded maybe he was trading for somebody who already said okay maybe but with stuff like this it's just like we just need G to step in right if there's actually Shenanigans G steps in ban him if not you know we can only presume his in a sense right like jeez man like we can come up with like 15 hypothetical situations where he still did something bad but uh yeah I don't know at least right now it seems like he didn't do it right like he didn't SC a map and all the other ones require lots of Mayes and well iies and you know all of that stuff but you know if G bans them it is what it is and yeah stuff like this needs to just boom they did good okay they did good they didn't do good in one aspect but they did good in Banning right obviously this shouldn't have been left in the game you know there's always random thing you know stuff like this like it's so hard to predict like

literally every circumstance. Um, so I kind of get it, but man, there it feels like for stuff like this, there should be a warning system in place. I feel like they should have something where a big red alarm pops off if somebody on day 3 of the league is turning in hundreds of Brothers, okay? If somebody is turning in hundreds of Brothers, others, okay, there should be a huge alarm where we, where we look at that guy's account or, you know, all the other, however many different things, right? If somebody, uh, if somebody enters a map with whatever, uh, and then leaves with like some insane amount of currency or leaves with like way too many, right, there should be an alarm, and it gets looked into, and there's a determination made. It seems like with this, the action on GGG's end. Now, I don't know, I wish, you know, I'm speculating at this point. I wish we could get reports on this. I wish there would be posts and, um, some transparency. I understand why there's not because then you're telling people

how you catch them and all this stuff. So yeah, like okay, I'm going to speculate, but it seems like with stuff like this, the action, the hotfix, the fixes, and the bands come only after it is publicized and not while it's being exploited. Um, but who knows how many exploits are fixed, you know, very quickly. There might be some, and we've just never heard about them because they got fixed right away. Um, but stuff like this, like, I don't know, it doesn't seem like the economy is very ruined. There's some stuff that was a little bit silly, but I don't know, we'll see how it turns out. I mean, it's only day three, and I'm going to be a real man, and I don't think this is coping, but I'm not going to let this kill the first league in more than a year, maybe years, where I'm like really excited. Okay, I'm sitting here. I sit on my computer. Okay, I was supposed to go do dishes. I'm supposed to go make

some breakfast I'm right I'm supposed to do this video. I'm supposed to record this video and I'm going to tuna's chat. I want to see what tuna's doing. I want to see how he's farming. I want to see what's going on. I want to see what right like I check out how somebody's builds doing. I how's Sushi's doing what check check out milky's VOD what what is milky farming uh you know I'm checking what are the hmer is done and I'm like looking for upgrades. I'm looking at an axe. I'm looking at my fractured base. I'm buying some veiled chaos orbs. I'm playing on my farm. I'm looking forward to some forid Jews like there's so much fun stuff. I'm looking for enchants you know there's so much fun stuff uh on top of like the leak mechanic. I want to get some shipments going. I want to get them Farms going okay the map Runners they can eat it okay those just suck what a

gold sink dude. I bought some level 9 map runners. [ __ ] died. Okay, in a T5 map, all right, get out of here bro. Yeah, I got like six transmutes for the AK gold that guy cost, but whatever. I'm not going to let it ruin, okay, 'cause it's really not as bad. If this, if there's a ton of groups that were doing this, okay, that could get pretty nasty, but it seems like it was kind like one that we know of, maybe a few more, uh, and it got snipped really early. God bless. Last league in the crop less, the problem was this stuff went on to three days of full public knowledge. You know, with stuff like this, it feels like you, you know, it wasn't, you know, maybe a night, maybe 7 hours or something, uh, but you know, the hotfix seems like it came pretty quick, and to be able to do this, it took a little setup. You had to find a scry, and those are pretty difficult, right? You would

have had to run burials for a few hours to find a scry uh, which requires a big map. Pool, which would require you to buy, which would require the market to have, and which most people really probably won't have uh, so this one, you know, a little bit harder to set up, but we'll see as the league goes on. I'm sure there'll be more, I'm sure they'll try, and I hope that GGG continues ban. Anyways, on today's stream, we're farming blue alter Ambush peopleo comfy zerker slams. I'll see you guys there, don't exploit, or you get banned. You should get a shot. I'll see you guys later, bye, thank you.
