Not so much an exploit, but still. The Warhammer Online servers had an US and EU server, and the US server got the patches 24hrs before the EU one did. I noticed that they were overhauling the crafting system and some ingredients were removed due to no longer being needed. Instead of outright removing them, they replaced them with ‘black dye’, which was pretty hard to craft.

So the moment I noticed that, I emptied the auction house of that minor ingredient, loaded up all my mules with it and mailed as much of it as I could get my hands on to my alt characters.

The next day, the patch landed and I had some 15000 pots of black dye, the rarest there was. By selling them off a few at a time, I could buy whatever I wanted for the remainder of time I spend in that game.

Brother! I’m still on the 8700. Stuck a 3080Ti in when my 1080 died of old age. Still runs everything I throw at it just fine. Even 4K games are perfectly playable. 60fps is enough. :)
