The punishment was severe, and it needed to be for this, that way if it ever happens again, which is very possible with all the new coding having to be input for improving game play, You won't have as many people jump on the the exploit and ruin game play for others. I notice a lot of people saying they would taken advantage of the exploit, had they known about it. I'm betting that they won't next time a serious exploit is uncovered, knowing what the consequences will be.
Pin: have you used an exploit in any game across any platform - including those distributed by their own developers?
No one stole money. The money was artificially created through a glitch in the dev's system. Not stealing no matter what way you wana spin it
Lessyackingmoreattacking@wulf Now have my post deleted. Just wanted to out you. Come call others cheaters etc.... Kind of hypocritical. Even if wasn't you botting on the acct(doubtful)u still sold it after tou changes. While you were still a mod. How funny is that. KaW mods breaking rules with no repercussions. Typical
Was there a TOU violation with the gold creation exploit? If so what specifically was the violation? I apologize if this was previously mentioned (I looked through the thread but didn't see that info, but certainly could have missed it.)
Whats going to happen to the people who owned these allies? I literally bought one of these guys around an hour before the punishment was dealt out. Gf 185b. I still own the ally, but he wont ever sell. I dont think it is right to punish ally owners for a an exploit their allies abused. I know of a guy who basically lost 890b on one of these allies. Solution: rf at least half of the gold, and reset their hire price too. Having a 200k cs ally @ 800+b is more than ridiculous, even a 185b ally is. Because now, my hard work in ally trading is ruined because of your fix devs. fire
There was no tou violation. But u wanna know something funny? People who botted and had their accounts banned have had their accounts returned to them, with the buildings they booted to earn. Very hypocritical of developers to destroy our builds yet let confirmed cheats have their accounts back. **** we didn't even cheat in any way. We broke no rules. They are just angry. It's not the players job to test features of a game. It's not our job to find holes in their system. Maybe they should take some of the huge profits they make off us and beta test their updates in house before dumping them on us for us to test. Backfired on you this time and you blame us for your mistakes. Which is a joke
No no tou was broken at all The issue is how the devs desided to punish the players "THIS" time but not other times and the amount they desided to take back When if they had to take things from the players they had before the exploit then there was obviously not a profit to that player
Yep devs deleted build off 100 plus accounts. At around 300-500b price each you have now screwed your customers out of a minimum of 50t in losses because these 60/60/40/40k stats will never sell. Are you going to compensate those players? Or just steal thir gold and ban/reset us. Either way you spin it ata is in the wrong here. It's their fault and they are happily pawning the blame off on their players. Not only did you destroy our accounts you have now effectively destroyed many peoples bfa. People who paid you cash money for that gold. But it's ok for you to steal peoples real life money but when they take your fake gold... Oh no watch out.
Funny you had to make an alt. LR is pathetic belle get ur nOobs. And devs please check and make sure that is a legit alt above me. And not an illegitimate acct. Which would be cheating. Derp
The only buildings that should have been removed were the ones bought through the exploit imho Pretty harsh on you guys the more I think about it now!
Why so you can keep the gold you cheated grow up you cheat the system of gold and don't think you need to repay can someone say stupid
Keep crying about it the fact still there you cheated and got caught there no one to blame only you cheaters
It wouldn't even be a problem if devs treated everyone fairly. I can name 10 accounts that got caught botting and were re-activated and kept all build. And they clearly broke tou. But people who used this exploit didn't break any rules and have received the harshest punishment that has been handed out yet. Ridiculous.
That just stupid wahachamacallit2 only take my new building don't take back the value in gold that was cheated your not very smart are you
I sorry but really you can't see the difference in making trillions in one hour then a bot yes all that bots should be band also
