The Worst Exploit in the Game

Thread Closed: Not open for further replies.
People doing the 5 for 1 thing lost all mods of that type. Im not sure just removing what was illegal gained is actually punishment, but action was taken.

The "punishment" was removing potentially legitimately gained mods of the same kind for those that used the exploit, as it wasn't as easy to determine which specific ones where gained using the exploit, as components can be transferred.

Either way, I agree that removing the exploit gained mods isn't punishment; it's correcting an error.

The result of the bug was corrected, but I woldn't call that punishment.

Martuk would have put an energy bomb in your fuel tank, if you came back after pulling a trick like that on her. ;)
 

Can't really tell if you're joking with this post or not, but taking it at face value, it sounds to me like you're just an incompetent player.

I don't have any problem at all with not using exploits and not grinding in this game. If anything, the game seems extremely easy and forgiving to me.
 
Personally, I think that people who find errors for the dev team should be rewarded, not punished - and if it takes a demonstration of the bug in action, then so be it...So, what's the harm in the devs punishing "exploiting" players?...These bugs/exploits are, and I'll say this straight up front, the developers' fault.

Did you lose engineer mods?

As cheese & TUC asked : Did you exploit Engineering and lose mods ?
Your post is suspicious because you mention many exploits but surprisingly fail to mention one of the biggest ever exploits(RNGineerPloit) to cause uproar on these forums.
 
OP's supposed logic is completely off the deep end. Sounds and smells strongly of someone trying to justify to himself, after having repeatedly used the massive engineer cheat, that it really isn't his fault for manipulating the game to force glitch it.
Nope.... Sorry. Huge difference bringing a bug to light and notifying the devs versus purposefully doing it for months and then getting caught.

Wow! Look at al the people jumping to the conclusion I used that engineering bug and had all my modules removed.

Sorry, Kids. Not the case. Never used the engineer bug, therefore never gained engineered mods while doing so, and no modules lost for me.

Why is it so hard to imagine that there is a point involved, and that is not whining? I am pointing out what decimated Star Trek Online during the Tau Dewa "exploit." If the devs get it in their heads that just crying "exploit" will let them hide their errors, they will start ignoring them too. Everyone loses when that happens, even if the devs don't know it yet.

Was that short enough for the shorter minds?

Sorry, but your post is the one that sounds like whining coming from a kid.

p.s. You do know Tau Dewa was more of a collection of exploits and too much grind to even do the exploit and too much grind to level up and.....
Tau Dewa was a cluster-procreation of immense proportions, take all our ED exploits and put it together kind of thing.(and I also include their solution & how they communicated with the player base,I have lifetime in that game)

As far as I know, no players have been punished for exploiting.

Those who used 5 for 1 engieering exploit didn't even have to pay back the materials they owe the engineers.

Those that used the latency glitch for mission stacking, haven't lost a penny.

The list is long. No punishment.

Based on the rage-quitting cheater histrionics the punishment was effective.
 
If there is a loophole, exploit, glitch or cheat, the weak willed player will give in and try it. Just because a bug exists, doesn't mean you have to use it.
