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

Are you FTP? If so then there's no point in me trying to explain it to you.

Everyone: we are in this mess together, please don't start a flame war only to have this thread closed.

As it stands right now, CG needs to get rid of those that misused the bug... No matter what the accused say!

This might have been a mistake from CG from the beginning but the people that abused the bug did so knowing it was an exploit which is against the terms of use, so no matter what anyone says, if you abused the bug, you should be punished!

& no one should be trying to justify any sort of fowl play... Unless they want to pay CG's salaries!

Bawk.

First laugh of the day. :smile:

Enjoy your trolling. :smile:

Giving full pieces of Raid gear + shards for all Raid chars including Han Solo to all non-cheaters would be a more positive equalization of the playing field.

You're speeding up like 0.1% of the grind fest (or less) and make the vast majority (all the non-exploiters) a bunch of happy bunnies.

It could be an either-or decision for each and every player to do:

You can choose to keep your current equipment and shards OR rollback your raid-rewardable only equipment and shards to pre-bug inventory and get THESE REWARDS:

X full equipment piece of each the raid exclusive pieces
W salvage pieces of the raid pieces which also drop elsewhere (or full pieces just the same as above)

Y Piggie shards
Y Rey Shards
Y JE shards
Y Luke shards

Z Han Solo Shards YAY!

Plus a bunch of credits.

THe items which don't drop in raids are unaffected by this.

They should just revert all accounts that exploited and roll them back to prior to the update or even farther. If there's no repercussion to exploring other than losing what you stole IF you're caught then people will keep doing it. I noticed since accounts went unsuspended my shard got a whole lot stronger.
No real punishment has been dealt to exploiters.

Everyone,

I am speaking with the game team tonight, but likely won't have a full update until tomorrow when everyone is back in the office. It was my understanding that all rewards that were claimed multiple times during the window where there was an error would be removed.

Please be patient as I highly doubt it was intended for all of those rewards to stay with the players. I'll report back tomorrow once I have all the details.

Thanks.

This is going to blow up in the morning. Asking for patience from people who have done nothing but be patient after a continuous series of mistakes, blunders, and missteps is asking for a lot....

Called it lol. The entire Dev team should've been called into work and been in this all night. They needed to pound a bunch of Rip-It and work non stop to find some resolution. I'd venture a guess they arrived at the office at the usual time as if it wasn't a big deal. The player base is out of patience. I respect your intent here @EA_Jesse , but all the good will of this player base was burned up a while ago. The only thing holding this game together is the IP; and history shows even that isn't enough to save games.

You know. I completely agree. I am getting fed up with the response time on this stuff. Games that have made far less money than this game, respond immediately (aka hotfix in the works in hours). This "wait and see" approach is what is causing half the problem.....

I am pretty sure they wouldn't want a refund request from me....
