** ''[[World of Warcraft]]'' has had classes doing roles they were never quite intended to. Prime examples of this are Rogues stacking Dodge and Agility so high they could evasion-style tank some of the final bosses in the second expansion and a Mage making use of Spellsteal, various talents and a pack of enemies with a stealable shield spell to solo several 25 player dungeon bosses: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_ggLGj37qI\]
** ''[[Final Fantasy XI]]'' has had both positive and negative examples of this, though [[Broken Base|which are which aren't always universally agreed upon]]. Primary among the positive ones would be the community turning the Ninja job into [[An Adventurer Is You|an outstanding Evasion Tank]]. Primary among the negative ones would be most single-job styles of "burn" party, especially arrowburn (rangers), the more abusive of which have been patched against. (Then there's meleeburn, but that's [[Internet Backdraft|a whole other debate]]...)
** Don't even try to count the various ways speed-increasing modules have been changed, exploited, patched, exploited in different ways, then patched again in ''[[
*** The use of Carriers (heavy combat support ships) for bulk cargo transport in ''[[
*** The Titans' Doomsday Weapons were changed from [[Sphere of Destruction]] mode to be [[Wave Motion Gun|Wave Motion Guns]] instead, because multiple Titans could annihilate entire fleets by firing their Doomsday Weapons at the same time. The [[Obvious Rule Patch]] came after it was demonstrated that a coalition could put [[More Dakka|enough Titans]] to the field to eliminate entire capital ship fleets with one coordinated attack.
*** Ship insurance payouts were initially tied to the static mineral cost of the ship. When mineral prices in the market dropped below these static prices, it became profitable to build ships ''just to commit insurance fraud'' by blowing them up immediately after they rolled off the assembly line. An [[Obvious Rule Patch]] changed the insurance payouts to vary according to market prices.
