KvotheBloodless Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 no it isn't if bioware has any sense they will ban all who did this exploit and suspend xp for warzones forever. Warzones will just be for fun and not non-pvp progression. Wow what a bad idea, let people play the game their way and you can play the game your way.

Nanotech Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Get angry at BioWare and stop drinking the cool aid. BioWare created this mess not the players. Agreed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kabaal Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Been in quite a few matches tonight and have yet to see matches that end early giving more than 2 or 3k xp. Methinks people are just blowing this outta proportion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nimithril Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) In order for that to work.. those guilds would have to have the majority of the population on a given server and coordinate queue times (if that's even how the system works). The reality is this is the side effect to Staggered Entry + No Cross Server Warzones. No. You, and a bunch of others, aren't getting it. 1) Group of co-ordinated players all queue up for a warzone at the same time and are placed in the same shard. 2) WZ starts and thus is removed from the list so that people still in the queue will be placed in the next available shard. 3) After a brief period of time, a specified number of people drop out, and the rest wait for the shard to close. 4) .....rinse and repeat. 5) Profit. Server population has nothing do to with it, nor would cross-server WZ have anything to do with taking care of the problem. As for catching them.....BW trawls the database for anyone over level 20 after, say 12 hours, and then trawls those characters for activity levels. Believe it....if Turbine could catch the skirmish exploiters with all that buggy programming, BW will get these guys.

Rhinoplat Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 you are the stupidest person in this thread. It is not bioware's problem and yes there is somthing wrong with what they are doing. They ban all people who went into warzones and got over level 25. I am not stupid, but you are for allowing BioWare to continue pulling this stunt. They coded the warzones to act like this. BioWare only allowed a anticancer amount of people into each server. BioWare is the one that has created a way for players to level faster than they (BW) expected. It is not the players exploting anything, but players finding the fastest way to 50. Anyone that thinks this is an exploit has not truly seen what an exploit is.

mandrillagon Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Whats funny are the people who have reaped the benefits of this exploit trying to shift blame from palyers abusing it to Bioware. No game at launch or expansion at launch is 100 percent safe from an exploit discovery. Why do you think WoW had mass bans for certain exploits people discovered and abused?

jizazi Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 With that point of view.. who cares if someone complains? Heck.. why not have us auto select a level 50 character when we log in on the 20th? Who cares? Because the world is not black or white, its many shades of gray.

Darth_Niner Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Wow what a bad idea, let people play the game their way and you can play the game your way. Uh, so trying to PVP is a bad thing? It is definitely a bug on Bioware. No one else. They will probably have to take back all PVP XP, which I hope is possible. Otherwise, they really screwed the pooch on this one.

robisowe Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 The problem is that they are not exploiting the game. They are using the intended mechanics. The problem is Bioware did not foresee, or did not care about, people using this mechanic combined with low server populations to level. I don't see a real solution because they cannot really be banned because they are using game mechanics as they are intended. Bioware's elitist early access scheme is the cause and the people using it are the result. Since they pre-ordered right off the bat, they get level faster and form little elitist groups who will then deny you noobs any chance at joining their reindeer games in the dungeons.

Gryffin Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Will this not be replicated during off hours 3 months from now anyway? The current system is working as intended. It needs to change soon or this kind of thing will continue as long as it exists. As for those who have been using this system to superlevel, I would simply suggest a rollback and an immediate change to the queue system. Doubling/tripling the next wave would also fix the issue but will Bioware risk server instability or level 1-30 dissatisfaction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lundli Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 It's things like this that makes or breaks a launch, especially how it's handled. The worst thing they can do now is to pretend it never happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intrepid Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 No Xp for short matches. It's harsh but the alternative is (as we can see) much worse. Also anyone who excessively and intentionally used this exploit should have their characters deleted. Note, excessively as in many times in quick succession. Not a handful of times.
