So lately, theres been a lot of trouble with this "trading" exploit. People using a console command to trade items that they don't even have.
The issue falls long back to the original developers, who never really got around to adding some simple checks onto their code to prevent people from trading items they do not have. Thanks to Shriio, the issue has now been located, and solved.
A lot of people have used the exploit, as well as an admin. They have (most likely), all been punished with a permanent ban. A few decided to make dumb appeals saying its our fault for having shitty developers. Its not. Its your responsibility if you exploited this, and you should have informed me or another developer about the issue.
The few of you who made those dumb appeals, you will stay banned. The rest that got banned for this, but thought all hope was now out, can make an appeal, and you will have your account reset.
This announcement is more like a message to those of you who might still have exploited, but have not been caught yet. I will be go over the 20 pages of accounts over the next few days, and banning people who have exploited this. If you want to turn yourself in, please send me a PM on the forums. Anyone banned for this exploit, AFTER this post, will not have the chance to appeal it and get reset. I've also added admin logging for those who tries to exploit again. Trying to exploit will end up in me adding you on Steam for a little chit chat. Try to avoid that, please?
The exploit does NOT work anymore, so please don't waste your, nor my time.
Thank you.
