I don't think they needed Marty to tell them that defeating an enemy twice was giving more xp than defeating them once.

Exploit does not necessarily mean it will trigger Marty. So just because Marty doesn't trigger, doesn't mean it's not an exploit.|

I've had to start ignoring people because it winds me up no end listening to their uninformed ******** about how their farming has definitely been stopped by MARTy and it's all a conspiracy by the devs to force them out of the game. |

I know, but it's possible that Marty is giving them feedback on just how much an exploit is being used, which lets them focus on fixing the worst ones first.

I think 999+ ratings and Hall of Fame status is probably enough to tell them it's being used.. and this is a technical term - "a lot."

Interesting how? It's designed not to affect 'aggressive gameplay'.|

Rather interesting, since the initial thread on MARTy said that it wouldn't affect 'aggressive gameplay' |
FYI, 'aggressive gameplay' is not a synonym of 'exploitive AE farming'.
You see, the devs are the ones who get to define "exploitive". So, anything they deem exploitive is beyond 'aggressive'. So far, we have not seen any indication that it can be triggered outside of AE. Even the MOST aggressive gameplay of regular content falls short of MARTy's criteria (based on observations so far . . .)

Rezzing critter AE farms have been around a long time. On top of which I seriously doubt that they coded no "reward for AE mobs after they rez" between when MARTy went live and today. So I think today's AE reward change was probably a long time in coming, and they just happened to get it in now, at the same time they're getting around to implementing a ton of stuff before they open the flood gates to free players ... just like MARTy.

Does this only impact AE or does it hit freaks out in the rest of the game?
