I posted this without any elaboration back in December, about a week after Gilded Skies dropped, and a few of you were wondering how this was even possible.
It essentially came down to Vinny forgetting to disable floating point integer values for the newly introduced "Spend Skill Points" feature (a float is basically any number with a decimal point). Putting in any number between 1.5 and 1.99 granted 2 skill points for the price of 1, as the value used was treated as 1 even though the amount given was rounded up.
On December 2, 2022, the DQ staff team received a report regarding a level 195 player doing 13Q damage with 2 billion HP in Lobby 2. In an effort to figure out exactly what the person was doing, I happened to make this discovery. By the time we had alerted Vinny, it was apparent that many other people had also found out how to do it as well. 2 hours after notifying Vinny, it was fixed and everyone had their skill points reset for free in order to fully resolve the issue.
The general conclusion is that this issue was in the game when the feature was originally added, which was on November 25, 2022. It is also assumed that most people found out about it on the last day it was doable.
