FDev, you just upset a *lot* of people.

[drhay53]

"but I only cheated once, why did you take all of my upgrades?" <--- not a valid defense

 

[MarkAusten]

So rather than FDev being clumsy, it's you.

No you never believed any suspect roll was being removed you "knew" all rolls were being removed. In your words "I'm seeing a lot of people having lost their legitimately upgraded modules".

Now you call others names for not reading into this fully. When you failed to read what was going on fully from the onset.

Suck up the responses you're getting, you earned them.

Um, I think you misread his post and edit.

He didn't cheat but was concerned at the reports of non-cheaters losing their mods.

I think.

He just didn't explain it very well.

.................l. Shields and the rest are normal G5 rolls. That is not seriously unbalanced..................

That is precisely why Engineers has ruined the game.

"G5 rolls are the new normal" - not for some of us mate, some of us just unlock Flic to up our FSD.

"G5 rolls are the new normal"- that's why myself and many others will never go in Open Play ever again.

Let's change the name from Open Play to "G5 play".

Back on topic - wipe their saves!

For those that are unaware, some interesting developments in this thread, (suggested reading from page 20 to end).

Interesting indeed. Whole Salome thing was staged and they couldn't resist to brag on how certain groups got privileged access while FD lied us all about "all having the same opportunity, come and participate".

LEaves a bad taste in the mouth.

It's that curry from last night.

No, wait. That's in a different thread, sorry.

Could someone post a link to something that explains what this controversy is all about? I've been away for a while.

Indeed, just as interesting is the main not Salome protagonist in the Salome event - who has stated 'no cheating here' and 'no rigging of event' was in fact cheating in a rigged event - if all is to be believed of course.

 

[drhay53]

I'll chime in to also say that I thought we were supposed to believe that *not very many* people as opposed to a *lot* were benefitting from this exploit which was intentionally hidden from public view so it could continue to be exploited?

 

[Theodrid]

Sorry what is this?

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.

This is utter nonsense and hilariously stupid. Even if it were true, every cheater leaving this game makes the game richer. However, if you chose to so with the gazillions of people you spoke to please be so kind and don't come back.

Consider this. The person claiming that it was rigged has been exposed as an exploiter and liar. One who might lie when the truth sounds better.

Take it with a grain of ... you know.

I don't think I've misread his post.

His post is clumsy as he waves around his "outrage" and cites that "a lot" of players are upset over losing legitimate mods whilst calling FDev clumsy. They've not been, he has.

He calls people names for not reading the facts whilst making things up, such as he "knows" people have had legitimate mods removed, which we're yet to see any evidence of.

I never accused him of cheating. I told him to suck up the responses he was getting on here due to his clumsy ill-informed rant at FDev.

 

[Peter Thompson]

Let's be honest here, simply removing the cheat rolls would be a slap on the wrist. When you steal something, giving it back is not enough; you require punishment, that usually comes in the form of fines, community service or jail time. This is what this is: punishment for cheating, negative conditioning so people will not try it next time.

Could someone post a link to something that explains what this controversy is all about? I've been away for a while.

Nightshady posted video showing how his group had been using as cheat in the game for 12 months to get grade 5 eng mods for the price of grade 1.
FD posted "stop this, we can tell who is doing this and will take action".
nightshady posted, "its all good folk FD do not have the balls or the ability to punish us"
someone accused a certain wizard he had cheated, he replied saying how childish it was as well as unfair to accuse him without proof, his rolls were all legit.
FD clamp down and remove all mods, both exploited AND non exploited ones of the same type from the cheaters.
a certain wizard is caught red handed admitting he had his stuff removed
jeering ensues

i think that is the short version with some paraphrasing

Myself, i am wondering where all the other apex pvpers who promise they never cheated are today. I would have expected at least one post from the likes of rinzler saying "dont worry folks, my ships are all still intact" (not that we would know either way)

My guess is they are all in solo now grinding their gear to at least LOOK similar to before

Perhaps your reply was a clumsy as his post since I obviously misread it.

On the other hand my coffee machine broke this morning and I'm suffering as a result.
