That's true, but I still think that Storage Glitch OPQ is intentional. I'll tell you guys what my test is about. But first, an introduction to Storage Glitch OPQ is probably needed since most of you have outgrown it.
Basically, Storage Glitch OPQ allows even the non-leader members of the party to clear the Storage stage. It requires a smuggler who can smuggle the pieces out and back in and a party which collects six of the pieces from Storage stage. After collecting all six pieces, the smuggler of the party would give each party member a piece. The party leader would "unlock" Chamberlain Eak. "Unlocking" Chamberlain Eak allows the leader to clear the stage. If you've done other Party Quests, you'd know that the NPC who helps the party do the quest tells everybody what to do in a stage when double-clicked. After the leader double-clicks and presses "Enter", he or she would be allowed to clear the stage the next time he or she double-clicks. After everybody has a piece, the party leader would say a time, which is the time shown as the amount of time left for the party to do the quest at the top of the screen. Everybody would then double-click Chamberlain Eak and press "Enter" or click "Next" when the time comes. This allows the stage to be cleared six times, once by each person of the party, enabling them to get six times the EXP for that stage.
My test is simple. Since both the Lounge stage and Walkway stage require the piece and clicking of Chamberlain Eak to be cleared, my test requires a non-leader person to attempt clearing the stages mentioned. If that non-leader person cannot clear that stage, then there is an extremely high possibility that Storage Glitch OPQ was made on purpose because it would be easy to just change the clearing system of Storage to be the same as Lounge and Walkway. If that non-leader person can clear it, then it's most probably a mistake. I myself have tried it before, but failed to clear Lounge and Walkway as a non-leader member of the party.

If something is made intentionally to be used by people that way, it's not being abused.

The first part of this is correct, but the second part is not. From my experience, not many people actually have the pieces and are online at the same time. The reason people don't really go for the whole PQ is that they get decreased EXP (70% of normal) after they boss. And since people don't want to get decreased EXP, they choose not to boss, maybe until level 70 when they are really strong enough and can survive.

They've been making customers angry with the not-so-good patches such as Korean Folk Town, Omega Sector etc.
anson Wrote:When you compare changing Boomers and fixing the storage glitch, changing Boomers is much easier than fixing the glitch.
It might be easier, but it's not easier by far. If you do my test above and see that only the leader can clear Lounge and/or Walkway, you will understand that all Nexon has to do is change how the stage is cleared, which is by the leader only.
EDIT: Some people say that Wolf Spiders have stopped dropping Ilbis and Blue Screamers. It's likely, but almost impossible to prove. Adding an item to a droplist is simple, but removing it is almost impossible. So now I guess Nexon accidently put in the Ilbis and Blue Screamers that drop like crazy? Or did they just make it so that they don't drop as often?
