Nylira Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I will settle for a banhammer and an exploiter list I can use it on. I would think that be only fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khevar Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 When I taught my dog proper manners, I'd reward him with a cookie, so he would understand he was doing something right; I didn't realize people playing this game, by doing the same, expected similar treatment. My dog doesn't get a cookie -- he exploited Ravagers. BAD DOG /spraywateronnose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeNaCe-NZ Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 How much gear was lost on just that bug? None, you just didn't earn any as a result. You didn't actually lose anything you didn't have before. Unlike this situation where people have gained something they didn't and most likely wouldn't have had before. Yet let's not bring those up because in many cases still people found ways to get around bugs and even entirely exploit a NiM boss a bit later on.

LadyVix Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Love the idea at the top of the post. Maybe a title. "The Honest". and then theres this. Remember when Dread Palace was bugged? Council was impossible to clear. How much gear was lost on just that bug? Any how many other massive bugs have hit flashpoints and ops over the years? Now that one bug throws free gear our way, Bioware is bringing out the knives. Think about it. "Throwing gear your way" would imply that they meant for you to have it, unlike reality where you chose to just take it without permission and tell Bioware "What are you going to do about it? Ban Me? I'm a subscriber!" If anything, exploiters who taunt Bioware in the forums should be subject to special disciplinary measures for their insolence.

Transcendent Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 any heavy punishment will only drive people away from the game What, like banning the exploiters? That's how it should be. They can always make a new account and start from scratch. As for giving those of us who didn't exploit? Eric said thanks, that's enough for me.

DOHboy Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Ok, lets take your suggestion at face value and work out the details. Do people who just joined and only have a single char <50 get this super rare item? Should F2P who havn't purchased the expansion also get said rare item? neither of these groups did the exploit they are just as deserving as anyone else who either a) chose not to do it b) was unaware of what it was and by default didn't partake in the exploit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuriDogshin Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I'll take working Jetpacks since I didn't exploit. I think collection-unlocked Traditional Jedi Robes would be the perfect reward for those Jedi who avoided doing the export because it violated their personal code. Those who were just to chicken to do it can receive something else. But Sith who did not exploit should be kicked off the Dark Council or become The Empire's Wrathless.

Quraswren Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 No thanks. I don't ask for a cookie from my local police department every time I obey a traffic light. People knowingly chose to break the rules, they should be prepared to accept the consequences of their actions. Agreed. These exploit events are mutually exclusive. One does not have any affect on the other and neither does punishment or perceived lack of punishment because it didn't happen last time you broke the rules. You take a chance with breaking the rules. Sometimes you get a warning, sometimes you don't. If you are a gamer, you know this exploit was not right and some did it anyway. Man up, take your lumps whatever they may be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preston_Violent Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Sounds like someone is nervous. Oh yeah they so are Even threatening that ooooooh sooooo many people might leave because you know, they'll be sincerely offended. Eric already said that exploit abusers are few....So those few can start packing their bags already if they feel like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chosonman Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Im assuming theyll probably get a temp ban and a loss of gear depending on the severity of the abuse. Those who did not use the exploit can carry on living their normal every day non-criminal lives just like everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianDavion Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Sounds like someone is nervous. that'd be my guess. he did it and now he's despiratly trying to convince BW to shrug it off. sorry OP but if you exploted, no sympathy for you. maybe next time you'll know better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no place in a Star Wars game for Traditional Jedi Robes. Just suggesting it is a violation of the ToS. You, sir, should be perma-banned for this suggestion.

Lilleth Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I will never expect to be rewarded for following the rules. Plain and simple. But I expect punishment for those breaking them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kagorsa Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 This is really no different from a shop having a camera blind spot, a certain amount of people will take advantage of it. So basically you knowingly took items which did not belong to you. There is no excuse for it. I personally think Bioware need to make a hard stance on this, because if they don't they are essentially giving a GREEN light to exploit as much as you like, which some have already done it seems, but lets hope justice gets served.

Lucyfer_Infinity Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 So heres my thoughts. Remember when Dread Palace was bugged? Council was impossible to clear. How much gear was lost on just that bug? Any how many other massive bugs have hit flashpoints and ops over the years? Now that one bug throws free gear our way, Bioware is bringing out the knives. Think about it. So, given that it was a Bioware error that made this possible in the first place, and any heavy punishment will only drive people away from the game, I propose that you give some rare, unobtainable stuff to people who were honest. Do not bite the hand. I hope they'll bite off your hand along with your head. Don't let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sashandra Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 My personal opinion, if after all these years of exploits in game, bioware steps up and starts stripping gear, credits or banning, then bioware should take a look back and apply the same punishments to prior exploiters. Be it PVP, FP, PVE, ops, crafting, there have been dozens of exploits and its a bit unbalanced to start hitting now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mavajo Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I didn't participate, but I have no desire to see people punished. As OP said, there are a million bugs that screw over players all the time. Now there was one that benefited them. Big deal. Then again, I don't get that butthurt over my internet e-peen, so I'm not threatened because other players got something that I didn't. I'm weird like that.

grombrinda Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 while Eric may be a nice and wonderful person,people in his job have to follow company guidelines, and if his boss tells him to mislead or out right lie to us, people in that job,either do it or start looking for a job elsewhere,So while they may be looking for who used the exploit,i suspect we will not hear too much about the punishments,other than it was handed out, they do not want to tell that for example 25k people were punished. It would make it seem like the game isfullof rampent exploiters. and a unknown exploit is one thing, from what I have heard/read they knew it was in the patch and released it anyway,which is a bit of a black eye for the dev team and QA testers. like releasing a car with a faulty ignition switch,that might cause a crash and or deaths Or faulty airbags!!!
