Who are these lot of people that are upset, though? I can't see many of them here.

Admission of guilt takes balls, some may be lacking in this case from the very same people that will tell you 'its only a game', 'its only pretend pixels', the same who told us to 'grow a pair' and 'man up' or call folk 'cowards'.

Yeah, those guys huh?

Don't worry, this will hit them in the wallets for sure. They don't do anything about combat loggers. They don't do anything about people who used cheats in open play PvP (I still see people in open I know 100% used to use shield hacks) but people use an exploit to lessen the garbage engineer grind and they finally decide this is the time to take a stand?

Just about everyone I have talked to is walking away from the game now. This will hurt everyone, including the non-PvP crowd.

Enjoy the emptiness of open play because a large portion of the players who frequent open are quitting.

On the flip side players that felt Solo or PG was the only way may feel like trying Open again, sort of unlikely as I suspect the number long term quitting is smaller...

From what I'm gathering so far, the manner in which you've conducted your exploit punishment have been nothing less than extremely clumsy. Instead of only removing the rolls which were exploited, you've also elected to remove anything that might have been a legitimate roll. What you're literally telling us is "We know you cheated, but since we can't tell which module you cheated to upgrade, we're taking this sledgehammer to everything we think might have been exploited." I'm seeing a lot of people having lost their legitimately upgraded modules... and some performed the exploit once out of curiosity.

You're losing players pulling this stuff, guys. It's bad enough you guys took said sledgehammer to anything that looked suspicious, but according to reddit posts some people still have their exploited modules.

I'm really glad I didn't let my curiosity get the better of me... I probably would have had my FAS wiped from existence if I had from ONE module.

Haha so people who cheat, should only have their cheat removed? Not really an incentive to stop them cheating in the future is it.

People who steal get the item taken off them and returned to the correct owner, THEN are are punished for it with a fine/community service/prison so that they don't do it again.

You getting it yet?

Given that Frontier themselves have previously acknowledged most players don't participate in PvP, and presumably the main impact of the exploit on balancing is to PvP, I'm not so certain it will have the scale of impact you suggest, at least not beyond your circle. And if any of those leaving are doing so because they used the exploit and have now lost the modules, good riddance anyway....

Yes, very clumsy :-(

Was it a cheat you had to actively seek and deploy, or could it have been that a Commander "got" the cheat by accident as well?
(I don't know how it worked.)

It was technically possible to get it by accident, but the likelihood is extremely remote.

I would say that if anyone thinks they've been unfairly targeted by FDev's action then their best bet would be to open a polite support ticket.
