    I see someone training many skills above level 180 these few days. How does it gain so many experience in a few days?

    Maybe you should post the avatar name so it can be verified?

    Perhaps screenys from offline and trying to stir a pot? ;) Otherwise, that XP can't be accumulated that fast in a legit way :p

    I suspect whether it is a display problem. If any Dev want to check I may provide the name to them.

    The screenshot is not from offline mode. Offline mode will not show any friend online and offline status in the chat.

    Use an O item of greater unlearning to wipe an entire skill tree in the 120's. You'll gain a 'trillion' xp.

    I just looked to see what dumping my entire sun tree would do... every skill is at 120 except one is at 130 and another is at 140. Total net gain to xp pool? 190, 234,965. So - I'd need to dump 5 trees (at least) to get to that trillion?

    Adding up just the skills in the images (assuming it is one person which it appears to be from the length of the name and the drop-down g or other character in the same spot in so many of the lines) those skills alone are over 34 tillion xp points. 34 Trillion divided by the 2Mil attenuation per hour is hitting around 17Million game hours to achieve that. Something's rotten somewhere. Either the images are fake, they are showing more than one player, it's a Developer testing something on live server, or someone's exploiting big time... or maybe there's a bad glitch in the display to journal.

    Clearly it's fake because they spent it on taming.

    This was a one off case. It was easily visible on the server and was basically a honey pot we had left in. Continuing to log this stuff on the server but probably won't actually "Fix" it. Oh, and that guy and his alts permabanned and blocked for ever. Currently just digging through to make sure he didn't have any significant transactions with others. Also, sorry for not catching this sooner. Been a while since we had goobers trying this stuff so we've been kind of slow on the draw. :) Oh, and I did verify he was the only one to use this in past 90 days as well.
    <Correction> Just found another one. Yay for wasting dev's times. If this is more than just a couple, I'll probably just close up the honey pot and move on. It is fun to catch hackers but I don't have time for this kind of crap. :(

    Ok, just the one other case. I'll leave it open and just added some better logging.

    It may have taken dev time but these zero day actions worth a lot for players. ++
