Maybe they should just give us all the same amount the max exploiters got and call it done.

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.

I'm less interested in punishment as I am for removing the unfair advantage and ensuring that the real money people have invested in this game is not devalued. If it isn't addressed immediately, real investment becomes devalued to the point of being worthless and faith in the Dev team is eroded. It's then a very fast slippery slope towards the game's collapse.

Revert all accounts back or wipe them. Issuing 500 gems, Han Solo shards, or whatever is not going to solve this. It wouldn't even come close.

What you are telling me is, people have received thousands of dollars in items, for free. It was only "some" people.

Furthermore, you are going to take a "wait and see" approach.

Why should I continue to pay? Why should I not want a refund?

Exactly. Compensation will not work, unless it runs into $000s

Agreed here- it's not about punishment it's correcting the error.

I've contacted EA this morning. There needs to be some sort of fair resolution here. However EA had already set the precedence with cheating by allowing people to keep 7* Vaders. The moral of the story we will only slap you on in the wrist for cheating, so it's worth it to find the exploits.


Sadly I just dropped another 50 this morning for gear before I saw this post. DONE.

Got a screenshot of the guy on my shard who did this and went from roughly 30,000 Guild Currency to nearly 200,000 overnight. It is still showing the higher number today on his rank snapshot (or whatever they call that). Don't know if he is suspended or not--still at rank 15, will see if he moves up today.

If a suspension without removing the gear that was claimed is everything they want to do, then that's fine by me. Don't want heads on a stick.

These people were able to level up and star (and gear up with the pieces they exploited) every character they own without repercussions because CG is unable to tell AT ALL. That alone is hundreds if not thousands in credits.

There is different severities of people involved in this glitch. To say they are all the same is wrong. Also, I have friends that had their gear and credits wiped completely. They even think they took stuff that was not gained from the glitch.

Just one severity IMO. Just one response IMO.

So the people who happened on it by accident, then replicated it once more to validate and then promptly reported it... Same severity and same response?

Just ban them and move on. No need for compensation etc.
