Last Epoch developer Eleventh Hour has posted astatementon the subject, saying, “We take exploits within Last Epoch very seriously and ensure that any time an exploit comes up, we give it our full and immediate attention. We strictly enforce our Terms of Use when it comes to exploits and RMT (Real-Money Trading), and as such, one can expect that abusing such exploits or engaging in RMT, both buying and selling, will result in a permanent account ban.”
The developer called out two specific exploits. One is item duplication, made possible via the in-game bazaar, and the other is a gold exploit. Fixes for both have since been deployed, and players found to have been “participating in illegitimate gold generation” have been banned.
Players who have taken part in real-money trading, whether buying or selling, have also been banned, as has anyone with duplicated items. Eleventh Hour noted that there was some confusion, however, due to players believing they had seen illegitimate duplicate items listed for sale on the bazaar, when there are in-game methods for producing duplicates that are actually legit: “It may be surprising to know that Lightless Arbor’s Vaults of Uncertain Fates can actually produce up to 12 duplicates of the exact same item.” Eleventh Hour plans to add new item cards with mirrored art to highlight items that have been cloned via these methods.
