cdstephen Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Farming = exploit now? I think that there's missing information here. It's hard to believe that Bioware would be that dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xfraze Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 I'm in the camp that says he was a probable botter, but I thought I'd clear up a misunderstanding on his part. The reddit thread says that Illum is intended for level 50 characters and that this is clearly communicated in game. The phrase "that by ignoring these warnings" is a reference to the in game information about the planet. At no point in time does the email say he received a warning from customer service. If he was indeed botting though, then he pretty much deserved it regardless of a warning or not. Botting is never okay in any MMO I've played.

Korrigan Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 We obviously don't have the whole story. The important part, where the exploiting happened, has been conveniently cut out by the OP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexhorn Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Players are being banned from the game for going to Ilum. ! People are banned for exploiting in Illum... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trimw Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Ive been to ilum at lvl 25 just to check it out, capped the entire zone by myself lol. Didn't get banned, so i'm thinking the OP did some exploiting or hacking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaidax Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Geez people, were you born last night? Ever consider that the OP is only giving you part of the whole story maybe? Perhaps there was some foul play going on with said players; thus, leading to their being banned. Remember kids, take what you read on the internet with a grain of salt. This...

Tiaa Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 (edited) So we aren't allowed to explore the game? Lol. so he was warned and continuted to do it anyway Are people just pretending they can't read or....? Is this the future? Where in that post did you see that he was warned? Where is the word "warned" at all? Edited December 31, 2011 by Tiaa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarTornPanda Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 That sounds good to say, but it's not practical. If they can't ban them for abusing something they have said not to do it leaves them two choices. 1) Allow them to continue abusing it until a fix is implemented, causing more and more damage to the economy or player balance. 2) Shut the servers down until a fix is implemented. Do you like either of those? 1) They did that with slicing. 2) If it is game breaking enough, then yes. That would be ridiculous if they warned and banned everyone who used slicing before then but regardless if I got that warning then I would stop slicing and have 0 sympathy for those who got banned. I would still be irritated at the fact they had slicing in game and we couldn't use it, but I would have no right to get upset at a ban if I ignored a warning. Everyone playing this game signed an agreement. You have the right to shut up and do what the admins tell you. You have a right to be angry and voice that anger on this forums if you feel they are unjustified, but you do not have a right to just ignore what they say, and if you do, then you need to be banned. Every time. In every situation. Period. End of story. No if ands or buts about it. How can you seriously take this guy's word knowing that he prettymuch lied to you when he made his initial post without mentioning he received a warning and even complained about not knowing it would get him banned. For all we know he was running around behind a level 50 who did all the work for him stealing all the quest objectives and security chests, and got a warning because that would be harassment. How incredibly illogical. Just because we signed an agreement stating they could revoke our ability to play at their discretion doesn't mean they can abuse it. That clause is in there to protect them, not allow them to control how the game is played. "Anyone entering a flashpoint will be banned". lolwut? I guess we have to just deal with it now, right? Absolutely not. Anyone arguing otherwise is not being a reasonable person. Yes, they can revoke our ability to play because we signed the agreement, but that doesn't make mean that should ban someone for doing something within the parameters of the games rules. There was no hacking, glitching, or cheating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arlia Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 So we aren't allowed to explore the game? Lol. Making a alt of the opposite faction and bringing him to Ilum to capture a point and then logging back onto your main and recapping for PVP purposes is not allowed. Lol.

You can go to Ilum as soon as you get your ship, and explore the whole planet, that's authorized. But if you exploit the PvP objectives with a low level opposite faction character, then you will be banned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maccaz Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 I am a loyal fan of BW, and I don't think for one minute that they would start throwing the banhammer around for users entering a planet which is higher than the level they are like Ilum. Now if the real reason is because they was exploiting on the named planet then good riddance because we don't want this crap happening in the game.

Arlia Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 I don't get it, what am I seeing (apart from Lv 14s bashing eachother) ? You gain pvp currency by capping bases, and pvp itself means little to nothing. What these people were doing were using a low-level alt to cap bases, then they would use their main characters to take the base back. Essentially, you can gain way more pvp currency by trading bases rather than fighting. If you kill all the enemies, there will be no more bases to cap, resulting in no currency. Edit: what's happening in this video is that they're base trading with alts and mains, but the person making the video put an end to it by killing the alts, halting the base trading.

That's fine if they are exploiting but the post I am reading is about the guy who looted high level containers and nodes. I don't consider that exploiting. Seems more like players are being blamed for design errors and mistakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vymm Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 This is just wall of BS.I visited Ilum many times with my commando being lvl 20-30. And guess what?

Welp, according to little billy here They own the game, they have the right to terminate you without cause. Which means If Bw was to sell you a brand new TV for 2000$ they hold the right to shut it off forever without cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sinister-Sith Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 My life savings goes on the fact that they weren't banned simply for being on Ilum. I believe that other malicious activity was occurring, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
