After spending a disgusting sum on this game, power-levelling teams to perform better in raids, and refreshing shipments for furnaces and droid callers, and to hear that a significant number of players got virtually unlimited quantities of this gear for free - it makes me furious. Anyone who's seen my recent posts will know I've been pretty hacked off with the game recently anyway.
Gear gating was the single biggest mistake they ever made with this game, coupled with a raid structure having miserable random rewards and encouraging the opposite of teamwork.
Then:
Pre-crafting: Strike 1
Guild hopping: Strike 2
Alt factory: Strike 3
Pre-crafting "solution" opportunistic cash grab: Strike 4
Unlimited free raid gear: Strike ****ing 5
And in each case, the exploiters keep their winnings. Why? Because it's too much work to manually edit player accounts, because it would cost money in man-hours and it's too hard. Because they'd have to work on a client update or something that isn't directly generating revenue.
And then the players who've spent thousands for faster progression, paying EA/CG wages, supporting the game, get to look at players in their arena or guild who gained months of advantage for FREE.
After the events of the last few months, the solution to this had better be pretty spectacular.
Usual rule of thumb is 3 strikes, yet you still play. Dont know what the point of your post is other than that no matter what happens, you'll still pay
I think you've mistaken everything else with baseball. People aren't bound by that game's rules everywhere else in life, and typically use discretion to make a decisions based on multiple variables."Salacious_Slug;505849" wrote:
Stand by for a post from Jesse stating that all of the gear has already been removed and those who said differently are just misinformed. It's very easy to discredit when you hold all the evidence.
I fully expect that this is what they will do. I hope they know that at this point it won't work. Nobody will trust them. The only real solution is to outright ban everybody that exploited.- In any other game I've played, these accounts would simply be banned.

Not true. It is very simple: you can compare raid passed to the days raiding start at all. How long ago raid was released? April. Ok, Those who finishe more that 60 raids - cheaters. Problem solved.
this thread is about claiming a reward multiple times, not doing multiple raids. Please dont confuse the 2 because guildhopping/altfactory is a totally different issue.
edit: or do the claimed rewards show up as finished raids ?"Batman44gaming;506028" wrote:

The dev team is between a rock and a hard place. There're probably thousands of accounts that need to be cleaned and if they have to do it manually it could take forever. And then you have the problem of finding out and reversing all those changes like buying shards, gears, equiping toons, etc it's an increidible amount of work.
If it takes too long it would be the same as banning those accounts since people will naturally move on to other games. And they clearly don't wish to do that or they'd have done so already. They want to keep all those people in so they can keep spending money.
On the other hand if they just let those accounts get back on the game with a poor clean up job many of the users that didn't use the exploit could quit the game.
In any case I can tell you that a teammate on my guild was unsuspended and he claims that CG no only cleaned up the account but that he thinks that they took more than they should.
Why not just give compinsation in the form of 5 of each raid gear and 1 million credits
Because those who used the glitch may have done so upwards of 160 times. Does that seem Iike 20 pieces of gear and 1 million credits? And a million!!! That is nothing at all. Can't even go from 75-80 on 1 toon for a million.
They could reset the accounts to before the exploit and compensate (highly unlikely)
More likely it'll be 500 crystals and the accounts are reset
Honestly, I don't care to be compensated. I want those who egregiously used the bug to have repercussions.
For Punishments to be effective, they are supposed to be: swift, certain and proportionally severe.
So far we have none of that."leef;506059" wrote:

every time you claimed a reward it showed up as an extra raid. 60 raid so would be about 1 raid a day since raids started, so hoppers/mercs whatever, would not likely get caught in this net.- The only solution is to remove the gear. If they can't do that then the accounts need to be reset or removed.
