Default Interesting stats from the leaderboards

Looking at the most npc kills, we see Police the lv10 necro with 7,451 kills. LOL wtf? What the hell is he farming?

Most deaths? A level 9 Sorc with 814. I salute the severely handicapped who is driving that toon

There's already people with more than 1000 quests completed. I heard that there was an exploit with people being able to repeatedly turn in quests by just clicking, but I'm not saying these people exploited. Still, that's a lot of quests.

The Old Timers Guild on Hilsbury has more than 300 unique members. Good luck running that in an orderly fashion.

Some Ranger out there is shooting things for 7,000 damage.

Yeah, they were cheating. But the exploit was fixed earlier this week and thats why the phenomena stopped. Btw, I'm not speculating, because I studied their blog shots and figured out what they're doing. Since its fixed, I'll go ahead and discuss it.



This player set up three chars, Khieng, Jyire and Proh, grouped them and parked them in front of a specific quest NPC, and then proceeded to go in a circle redeeming the quest reward and then having other group members, who still had the quest in their log, *re-share* the quest with them. Apparently the quest required an item of some sort as condition for completion that wasn't being removed from inventory ( I'm not certain because I've never done this quest ). Read the chat log and you can see whats going on.

It appears that in this shot, as he's hitting level 15, that he had completed the same quest 166 times, since he has 83 silver on it. You'd think that Khieng would have been banned by now, but I guess Sigil isn't concerned about whats on the leaderboard.

here's Proh's shot.



Somehow I doubt there are even 1331 quests *in* Vanguard, so Sigil is going to have to probably wipe these quest completed stats or these exploiters are going to top the leaderboard forevar, hehe.

Have a look at Stemcell and the other most-quest-completed character blogs.

http://vgplayers.station.sony.com/bl...ntryId=6286218

They are standing in front of the *same* quest NPC. When I first noticed this, I calculated that Stemcell would have had to have solved this quest once every 6 minutes on average since the game went live noon on Jan 26th to rake in 1331 completed quests. Obviously he's set up a macro to do this.

All the other anonymous players are the top of the list were just ambushed by the automatic screenshots when vgplayers rolled out and are just trying to hide their blogs.

Ebonlore guild members exploting XP advancement and quest systems?

Who'd have thunk it.


The beauty of the auto-screenshot system... you can't hide. I love it.

Yes, it appears the leaderboards are an interesting feature.
Funny how some things just jump out at you within leaderboard stats, such this and the wealthiest players in each server, etc...

umm, its not exploiting if the game allows you to do it. bugged NPC's and broken quests are the devs responsibility to fix, not players.

Ebonlore, what an over hyped, over rated bunch of door mats. My expereince stems from Shadow Bane, where of course they were banned from exploiting. Undead Lords vs Ebonlore, any day,game or time.

Of course it is exploiting. Using your logic it is okay to do just about anything you like (be it real life or in game) and it is someone else's responsibility to stop you.
