I got summoned by some person, they drop 99x Marika runes (80K each), then a bunch of starlight. Then the person eats poison and dies and I return to my world. WTF?
I didn’t even know there were 99x of these runes, unless this person beat the game repeatedly, got board, and was doing a giveaway. Or hax. lol.
Definitely hacks. I also was once invaded by someone that dropped an insane number of runes and just left. I would throw them away imo, you wouldn’t want to win by cheating.
My character is already like level 330 on NG+3, I basically leave the game running all the time waiting to be summoned lol. I’ve completed practically everything that I desired to.
Kinda shitty if an unknowing player could get banned from legit picking something up.
Yup, hacks. I havent had this happen in Elden Ring, but I remember in some of the Dark Souls games people would do this kind of stuff. As a general rule never accept weapons or equipment from them because those could also be hacked and having them on your character could result in catching a ban from multiplayer. I feel like there was some other weird thing that would royally fuck your character up if you picked it up too, but I can’t remember the details
