New World Apologizes for Invulnerability Bug - Explains How Server/Client Authority Works | MMORPG.com
In a recent forum post, New World community manager Luxendra addressed how the Server/Client authority works, to clear up perceptions of a recent issue players experienced.

Logic, my dear, merely enables one to be wrong with great authority.
mmorpg junkie since 1999
People abusing the hatchet exploit or the Life staff turret macro, duping etc, nobody is being punished for anything.... at least from the players I personally know and have encountered/reported myself.

They are just a bunch of amateurs. What did people expect?
There are so many issues in this game, so many design mistakes you would have thought would not be repeated again this day and age.
This example of running this client side is just the icing on the cake of stupidity.

There's going to be bugs, we really are in the realm now of the gaming media reporting anything "newsworthy", that is negative (because negative sells better) about NW. If one of their developers posted on that foundation of good journalism social media, that their morning coffee from 'Amazon' left a bad taste in their mouth we would get a report about it.
Let's party like it is 1863!
Its a tough job.
I’ll give them all the time they need, no skin off my ass, I can jump back in anytime.
Hopefully they have some really talented guys there who can get the kinks out.

This is technically inaccurate given the nature of the game as an MMO. Particularly around gold generation and item duplication exploits.
If they're not removed the exploits would impact inflation, for example, making things more expensive even for those that didn't use the bugs. Similarly, those that take advantage of gold duplication might decide to do things such as max out their crafts by buying out all the resources up for trade potentially reducing availability and increasing demand, again increasing costs.
The impacts aren't necessarily limited to negative, you could turn a decent profit in that sort of situation but it accelerates inflation and the individuals are indirectly benefitting from bug exploits.
The town upgrade exploits seem likely to have similarly tangential benefits, exploits that impact wars could change who actually wins them, etc.
That there is going to be bugs doesn't inform as to the extent and nature of them. It is newsworthy, especially on a site that covers MMORPGs. There will be some as of yet considering but not yet committed to buying the game. They should be able to make an informed decision. It's not as though issues other games are going through are hushed up, at least those with some degree of popularity.
NW isn't a Golden Child. It doesn't merit special protection from negative coverage. Issues the game has should be reported. The issues resolved should be as well, as that happens.
Its like they are deliberately asking players to abuse, df#***
