Because those exploits, cost revenue.

I would think Disney would rather fix a bug rather than punish players for using the bug. If they did do this punishment system, odds are that half the players won't know it's bad.
It would also save some of their paying members.

Don't get me started on this one....lol. I've seen the best of us utilizing "glitches" for whatever reason. Even if it was a one time deal to check it out. I know for a FACT some well renowned pirates (Guild Masters included) have used these glitches at one time or another. I don't have the answer as to exactly how it should be handled. I'm not even sure they can monitor this. Even though we see it going on, what do they have in place on the server end to detect it (if any)?

However, just keep in mind if you are cheating to make the leader board, beat another player in SVS or PVP....that's unacceptable. That truly takes the fun out of the game and ruins it for the honest players. The glitches need to be corrected...and I'm sure there will be more glitches as new content is added. Hang in there gang.

This is what I agree with, glitching and macroing to beat people in svs, pvp, or ranking is wrong....i really dont care if people glitch to lvl. Then again, its the peoples money paying for this game, so they can do anything they want.

Well, unless things have changed, D will not be punishing glitchers - I asked the very specific question a while back and they said they would not do anything to people exploiting glitches in the game (good thing, IMO - the glitches are their fault).


And let me just say again, I do not care if people glitch for reps as long as they don't steal enemies from others while they're doing it.

Also, I still don't think it takes anything away from what others have done. If you leveled the "hard" way (LoL), then yeah, you did more. You know you did more. Forget about what other people are doing and just enjoy your achievement.

I too have this perspective, I see most of the arguments pertaining to affecting others with the glitch, not how it affects one's own self.
Seems every known game has glitches, cheats, hack, whatever you wish to label them as.
I had run 27 game servers and Nationwide Lan Events and at one particular Lan event , my nemisis, and a game hack organization decided to crash our Lan event from the outside in,.. These guys were and are still exploiting and cheating their way around causing havoc. Those who use exploits to disrupt and harm others are pond scum.
A bug or glitch isn't necessarily a bad thing,.. most will be fixed, but some may find their way to becoming part of the game.

I tend to agree with you. The people that use these exploits against others are pond scum (not as descriptive as I would like, but sufficient). I still fail to see what satisfaction one would gain having cheated to win at a game? Is the sense of accomplishment geared towards the win, or is it more about the fact that they found a way to cheat? Either way, it speaks to the lack of ability to play the game.

What games did you run for the LAN's?

Obviously there are people in the game who haven't bothered to report these bugs.
Players shouldn't be punished for something the developers won't fix.

It would also take a while to make something to detect players who use bugs. And guess what? That means more time working on things that won't be new content.

I'd rather have the developers work on new content than waste time trying to punish players for little exploits they haven't bothered to fix. It also means losing players which means losing money. I don't think Disney will do that.
