Default Re: Short list and exploits

I pretty much agree with Baalz on this issue. It's a sometimes a fine line between an exploit and clever play, and only things that are CLEARLY abusive should be considered exploits. Among other things, how's a newb supposed to know their clever trick is considered an exploit?

My buddy K is blowing smoke out his butt on the MoD issue- i agree that it's possible to counter it sometimes, but all of his suggestions are pretty iffy. It's exploitive 'cause once it's been triggered there is no counter- the battle never ends and you all die.

But really, what else is there in DomIII that falls into this category? The Bogus script is a maybe- i personally consider it dirty pool, but it's defenders point out that you have to work to get it, and it's not in and of itself invincible, just a big advantage. Also, if your opponent is using it on you you have the opportunity to get it from him the same way he got it from Bogus. The locker flood would be BS for sure, but how's that work, do you do it every turn? If so the perpetrator needs psych help.

Are there others?

I'd also like to second kasnavada's point, a single instance of this should not be grounds for a lynch mob, it could easily be a mistake or ignorance. Continued use is another matter.
