Blissfoil Pollen Shelving

[The King Of The Moon 7016]

In light of recent abuse done in excess around Blissfoil’s ‘Pollen’ quality, explained here -

- it has come to the ST’s potential that certain players who shall remain unnamed have decided to push these restrictions to their absolute limits, ignoring the intended downsides of utilising the pollen in such a way and maximising its usage as an instant-win in CRP.

 

As mentioned in prior announcements, Botany is meant to be accessible for all players without need of an app gating them from it. Seeing it abused in this sense has opened our eyes to how vulnerable the lore is to misuse without the rigidity of a student/ teacher system and the potential suspension of apps that would effect most other areas of player-accessible lore. 

 

As a consequence of this, the ‘pollen’ effects of Blissfoil are to be written out of the main post and be shelved, effective immediately. 

 

Any signed items containing Blissfoil Pollen (notably not Blissfoil Petals) are henceforth rendered inert and to be destroyed.

 

Furthermore the ST will be undergoing a review of other problematic herbs which have been powergamed in the same manner over the course of the coming days, so stay tuned for further updates and feel free to flag up any issues or instances of easy powergaming with any other herbs to the ST.
