okay so quick tldr yesterday there was a massive exploit that put tens of thousands of divines into the economy. People were scrying burial Chambers into a tier one map, and then three of the cards are too high eye level so they don't drop. So the only card that could drop was brother stash, and they were speedrunning white maps and guaranteed dropping brother stashes from map bosses that were put in by the shrine Scarab, uh the shrine Scarab, and the new div Scarab that makes the div card drop from the boss. And then they were putting in extra bosses with the shrines, sorry brother brother gift, which is five divines per card. There was a screenshot that was floating around. There was a guild that went pretty hard on this. This was their Guild stash, okay this uh four 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 mirrors couple of Mage Bloods couple of Head Hunters couple of Squires veiled

orbs, voices, more mirrors, more Jewels, cUnder rings, Original Scriptures, Jewels, you know, the good stuff. Um, so they've been going pretty hard. Unfortunately, they have a Discord overlay which shows their name, and so people have investigated and found their account names and their listings on the trade site and connected two and two together and, uh, now these people are banned. Here's one of them, here's another one. They are temp banned, probably for the rest of the league. If you exploit, you will be banned. We learned this from Ultimatum, so we didn't do this. We're farming the, uh, our little cute Blight Strat, which is, you know, it's honest work for honest pay. Not really, uh, not really comparable to these exploits, but, uh, gaming Darwinism. Yeah, so hopefully the economy will heal in a few days, and then here, here's some there a nice gift. Chris poofing the mirrors out of the economy. So that's the story of yesterday. Today is a new day, and we go back into

the blight four hours look at the Reddit detectives. You Can't Hide. You Can't Hide. Yeah, if you have a if your profile is public, they are watching you. They're going to find you. They will locate the suspect using the power of Reddit. You can't hide from these F detectives, man. Can't tell me you can find that many interrogations that in 4 hours to buy a head hunter. Imagine if only one person got to engage in mechanic. Imagine you go map with your friend. You just do all right then only a friend gets all the league mechanics. Then you get nothing. Imagine they did that with other league mechanics. Yeah, AR is imagine you find a good Beast with your friend but only one of one of them one of you gets the Beast or imagine you find an Alva Temple or a or or an incursion but only one of you gets to build a temple or imagine if you find a blight encounter and you open

the chest, but the same amount of loot drops even though there's two of you or three of you in the map. Wouldn't that be crazy? Wait, that's how 99% of League Mechanics Work.
