Very good thread. Nice reading, ty
I noticed 1 thing on 19 pg of thread. 90% of people here make confusion about what's an exploit and what's a cheat. An exploit it's a trick using what game mechanics allows as developed by devs(volountary or not). A cheat is still a trick but used changing those mechanics defined by devs. Going OT: E.g. who plays CS/CSS knows what a bunnyhop is, i.e. a high skill trick witch use the game engine mechanics of movement while on air. Steam doesn't call it a cheat, it's just an exploit but still you'll get banned from 99% of noobish server's admins if you bhoop.
Returning here, speaking from my noobish level of this game, i think this exploit it's not fair if it's useful only to "huge BFA players" as many stated, including Mod. What, it's ok but you have to be that 0,1% player if you want to take benefit from this exploit? Devs need to look into this
