What do you do when you find an exploit?

[SMcA]

Should I report it?
I noticed it in a CG and if I publish it then others will start using it for gain. If I don’t then the people who are using it will keep an advantage.

Report it, there used to be a special section for exploits.

You can raise a ticket for them.

From the bug reporting forum: file a support ticket. No need for a poll.

report via support https://support.frontier.co.uk/ if it is a serious one, or use the bug reporting subforum.

have in mind, not everything you (or I) consider exploitative is considered an exploit by fdev, for exampel mode-switching (for BB-refresh, RES spawns or MA-farmibg...).

Thanks, that is exactly the answer I was looking for.

Interesting the examples you gave. It gives an insight.

I'll keep the poll open as some people like polls.

I'll keep it open 'cause I can't see how to edit the poll. :O

Instantly raise a ticket. Wait 6 months. Fixed.

I prefer to report the bug, if you find the bug most probably another ones also find this bug and you will be affected sooner or later.

If you find an exploit, feel free to message me with it and any associated reproduction steps. Otherwise, report it to our customer support at https://support.frontier.co.uk thanks.

definetly. but with serious exploits, where you don't have any how long it will take to fix them, it might be better to use the support-ticketing-system. for exampel players found an exploit to nuke minor factions influence, and it was ticketed - instead of being spread and used. and it was fixed during a few days (looks as if was an easy one).
