rollback is better

ignorance is bliss aye?

Yes i did sell the gem as well, but this is not right at all. Roll back is the only obvious solution here. Don't deny the fact that quadrillion gold is already circulated into the system via transfers, AH purchases yada yada. How do you take out that money from the system?

I believe If they really do server wide rollback, this does not applies.

any link from blizzard to prove this?

rejoice then on your LEGIT billions then, I'm just trying to understand your so called legitimate made money opinion.

well, blizzard is blizzard. Even after this fiasco, if you try to think for a sec, its Bliz that profited anyway. 15% of RMAH transaction anyone? /tinfoil

Now we just see if the RS gems price crash back to 20m each or stay at 1-200m, or move up to 500m

Sorry but I'm a software engineer too
this is not the case of "select xxx from yyy where zzz" case.
this shall be take the pre-108 backup, restore it into the database via dump/load.

question

How do you expect people that didn't manage to legitimately make the profit during the exploit window to by 100m RS Gem?

well, i believe they should have backup the entire database before applying any patch or update.
if they really want to do full rollback, restore database to previous image is not so difficult.

the reasons they giving not to perform rollback are:
1. a full roll back would impact the community in an even greater way; i see a lot of rage in D3 forum
2. it would require significant downtime; every week also have downtime, what so difficult?
3. revert the progress legitimate players have made since patch 1.0.8 was released this morning.

1 & 2 sound stupid.
but 3 is $$$, refunding paypal interface & etc are too complicated for them

wats ur take on this?

no their 1st time to patch and endup breaking something.

my take is they treat D3 like a unwanted child or they moved most staffs to work on other projects eg: TITAN
