New House Loot bug
Damocles
While OSI tries to work out the kinks in their item reduction scheme,
some intrepid players have found a new way to relieve their fellows of
their goods, stackable or no. Yes, another house looting exploit is
out there, once again involving those pesky little rare mushrooms that
for some reason the dev team hasn't removed from the game. This is a
confirmed exploit, and I think the only defense against it would be to
block access within your house from the door.
Oracle of Occlo
expect it will be, i saw a couple of players staking it out.

Only problem is, those so-called secure containers arn't so secure. One of
my guildmates lost two suits of valorite armour from his secure container.

Actually I believe you can do it by building the barrier up higher than one
level. The mushroom thing works because stepping on one raises you a tiny
bit, allowing you to step on a table or crate. I have had no breakins in 3
houses using barriers with obvious loads of loot to be had. When I found out
about this cheat I made all my barriers higher than just a table. 2 tables, a
table with crate, 2 crates, shelves, easels, guildstone, crate on top of
anvil, all seem to be good.

When decay is implemented, house breakins will finally cease to be
meaningful. I mean, you can still have breakins, but with nothing to take,
all they could do is attack people, and friends can just ban them.

My good fiend the counselor says that many reports of things missing from
secures are made, and all seem to trace back to timewarps or friends being
less that perfectly honest. No confirmed bugs relating to secures seem to
exist.
