Players have noticed that there's an Alchemy Transmute Cooldown exploit which allows players to use their transmutes much faster than intended.
This bug has existed since launch and we're not going to cover the steps to reproduce it, but it's become more important in this Patch due to
Dracothyst
. We wanted to remind people that
Blizzard banned players
at the beginning of the expansion for a similar bug. This bug can happen to players as well without them knowing it, so Blizzard will have to be careful if they decide to ban for this issue. In the case of the Tailoring exploit,
many of the bans were reversed
afterwards as the lack of UI clarity confused many players into accidently doing this.
This conversation is a hot topic at the moment because while this issue affects all transmutes, the new hot commodity is
Dracothyst
. It has a very limited supply and every player will need 2 next week for the Enchanted Crests when making crafted gear via
Enchanted Aspect's Shadowflame Crest
. This currently has some market implications as theoretically the supply of Dracothyst is probably higher than intended and the price of the item is still 18k on NA with only ~1.5k available. With a limited supply that is being popped up by an exploit, and a large demand incoming, I think it's likely that the price of
Dracothyst
will increase and every player will need to be paying a decent sum of gold for each crafted piece in Season 2.
