TFT is gone, server deleted - Path of Exile 1

By FubgunWatch videoDuration: PT4M8S

Summary

  • The Forbidden Trove (TFT) Discord server is being permanently deleted following the permanent ban of its owner, Jenebu, from Path of Exile.
  • Jenebu has refused to transfer ownership of the server to the community, opting to delete the infrastructure entirely.
  • While the TFT moderator team intends to launch a replacement server, the community remains skeptical due to leaked logs exposing a toxic internal culture.
  • The ban resulted in Jenebu losing massive wealth in the Standard league, including an estimated 30,000 mirrors and thousands of mirror-tier items.
  • Players are encouraged to move to alternative platforms such as Wealthy Exile or the Maxroll community server for trading services.

The Deletion of The Forbidden Trove

The TFT Discord server, a central hub for Path of Exile services and bulk trading, is being completely deleted. This decision comes directly from the server owner, Jenebu, who was recently issued a permanent ban from the game. Following the ban, Jenebu reportedly experienced a “meltdown” and decided to dismantle the server rather than pass management rights to another community member. This marks the definitive end of TFT in its current form.

Impact of the Jenebu Permanent Ban

The ban has stripped Jenebu of unprecedented in-game wealth. Losses include approximately 30,000 mirrors in the Standard league, held primarily through rare alternate art items and thousands of high-end “mirror items.” Even if Jenebu were to return on a secondary account, his influence over the economy and community has been effectively neutralized due to the total loss of these assets and a complete breakdown of trust.

Skepticism Toward the New Staff-Led Server

TFT moderators have announced plans to create a new server featuring the same moderator team, excluding Jenebu. However, this proposal has met significant community resistance. Recent leaks of moderator chat logs revealed that Jenebu was not the sole source of toxicity within the organization. The logs showed staff members attacking prominent community figures, such as making disparaging remarks about Exushia and leveling baseless accusations of racism against PoE Dan. Because the existing staff participated in this culture, many players believe a “new” server under the same leadership would inevitably replicate the same issues.

Current State of the Discord Server

The TFT server has already begun to implode. Most channels have been deleted, leaving only a few voice channels available. The environment is currently unmoderated, leading to the posting of “not-safe-for-life” (NSFL) content. Due to this lack of moderation and the nature of the content being shared, it is highly likely that Discord will ban the server entirely, even if the scheduled deletion does not occur first.

Moving to Alternative Platforms

With the collapse of TFT, players are seeking new homes for services and bulk trading.

  1. Wealthy Exile: Provides automated services and tools that replicate much of the functionality previously found on TFT.
  2. Maxroll: Maintains a community server that serves as a reliable alternative for players.
  3. General Recommendation: It is advised to avoid any new iterations of the TFT server if they are managed by the original staff members. A truly trustworthy alternative would require a completely new, dedicated moderator team with no ties to the previous power structure.
