Dupe of Crownfall tokens: How a cheat developer steals money from Valve

[FINNGT-exe]

Description

Since the release of the first act of Crownfall, there has been a vulnerability in Dota’s protobufs that allows users to exchange any Crownfall tokens for any others, including paid ones from the Crownfall Pathfinder Packs.

The core issue lies in the fact that these tokens hold the same weight in the token exchange system, and a cheat developer is exploiting this by selling a feature that lets users unlock rewards for free without purchasing Crownfall Pathfinder Packs from Valve. As a result, Valve has lost a significant amount of money.

Recently, this process has been automated, and the cheat developer is now selling this functionality to bot users who are mass-claiming rewards using new accounts.

I urge Valve to take action against cheaters and bots exploiting this feature, as it will harm the in-game skin economy. Additionally, new accounts abusing this exploit are earning level 5 Dota trophies for completing all acts, effectively leveling up accounts for boosters and bots that will later ruin games.
