Punishment Game Abusers (Suggestion)

We are Pirates. Our slogan: Take what you can, give nothing back! If we find a glitch, we use it until its fixed. It doesn't mean we hack into the game and set all our lvs and gold to the highest. i think its fine.

My opinion about this is that its not cheating using glitches, unless you are using a 3rd party system (which Disney will ban you for), or using it on another player for an advantage over them specifically. For example, I don't think its cheating to use the invincibility glitch on kingshead, because everyone can do the glitch. I can do it, you can do it, everyone can do it, and it is Disney's own fault when it comes to the glitches. We're just exploiting them to Disney, and in a way, helping them because Disney could really just google many major glitches, and get the answer on how to do them within 10 minutes. I believe it is cheating if you're using glitches in an svs or pvp, because of the circumstances. You may be on a glitch, but the person you're up against probably can't go and do the same glitch (and thats even if the person (people) knows the glitch).

For those who really want all glitches fixed immediately, you have to take into account a lot of factors:
1. Disney is trying to fix glitches, but they have to make sure that when they fix a glitch in Tortuga for example, they don't have a game crash in Padres, because thats how delicate this game is. Edward, asking to fix glitches immediately is a tall order for Disney. On TT, the report floating glitch was reported from Day 1, and it took 7 months to fix it. Its the same concept on every MMORPG.

2. If you're doing the invincibility glitch for example kingshead, Disney's logs can only see you walking around on kingshead, they sadly cannot see that you are taking damage and not going to jail, because of the nature of the glitch. Its the same thing with a lot of glitches.

3. You can't ban everyone who uses glitches, because some people end up in a glitch accidently. When I first started, I fell into the invincibility glitch on accident at Fort Charles, and I didn't even realize until I saw that I couldn't leave or teleport. Should I really be banned forever because I fell in a glitch accidently?

4. There are many harmless glitches out there, you really want me banned for using the empty kingshead glitch, when I can't do any tasks or anything?

5. Disney purposely keeps some glitches because glitches can be fun for many people, and they win if someone is still paying that $10 a month just because they love glitches. Like another example with me, I might not pay another $80 for a year on TT, because the recent update with Toon Parties got rid of so many fun glitches. However, people who use cheat engines are going against the legal agreement you sign when you sign up for POTCO, and they should be banned.

6. MacIronHawk is correct that it would cost Disney a lot to ban all people who use glitches, come on, that would mean cutting so many players, who are not going to pay POTCO anymore because they are banned. That could easily be a 10K loss every month! And because of the lack of new things on POTCO, they're already losing players, which they really can't afford to do.

7. The moderator department at Disney is much more concerned about keeping kids safe, not about glitches. Would you rather them be concerned more about glitches? Because I sense catastrophe with that notion.

Well, sharpy is right, Disney is supporting pirates after all......

The only other point I have to make is that when I say all this, I am talking about in game glitches that aren't being used against other players. As I have stated before, cheat engines, or using a glitch for the leader boards/ svs/ pvp is unacceptable as akamystic said.


EDIT: I think it would be a horrid idea to offer gold as a reward for reporting members, because that means everyone is going to try and destroy the game by reporting everyone in sight just for some gold. Its motivation, but not good motivation.
