Your statement can only make sense if we assume that people are only playing so that they might receive credits so they can buy more packs.... for some reason.

Who gets hurt?  Anyone who plays the game for fun or challenge.  If I wanted someone else to play the game for me I wouldn't be playing myself.

You can put someone in your block list (PS3), which mutes the player as well.  I do agree with your points though. I really like the online game, but I would like to see some more options (like the buddy system/textchat!) Also, people should not be allowed to play gold on level 1. They should integrate a system where you can join silver when you are level 50+ and Gold when you are 100+.

I think the N7 ranking should be reset but not before of Bioware and/or EA take action at least patching (I don't even mind anymore about banning them or what items they aquired illegaly)
All this abusing the glitches and BW not taking action or making a statement is spoiling me of a big part of the little competitive aspect of the game

i got a question to Bio about what can be considered to be against the rules

If a player starts gold runs as host and Leaves at round 11 forcing a restart and is known to be doing this constantly with a number of different players over a short period of time (say 2 hours worth so its not the host D/Cing). Is this an offense?

I don't really see why someone would play through 10 whole rounds and then quit, much less do this constantly.  Also don't see how that could be considered cheating at all.  Besides, its only a wave restart and not the entire match which shouldn't be that big of a deal as long as no one else leaves during host migration, neh?

Ok there is multiple problems, glitches, and stuff, but I don't see how the credit glitch is really a problem.
It allows us to milk EA in a sense, sort of like payback.
But other than that, sure you can max out weapons and get all the cool appearance items but it depends on the skill of the player, my gawd, I brought a level 7 Adept with a Phlanex III and still managed to get higher than others that had weapons up to X.
Only problem I see is modding the weapon damages and shield protection mods, that's it. It's not PvP so people shouldn't have problems with having extremely well geared allies soaking up the damage from phantoms, banshees, whatever.

I strongly disagree with your lv1 idea... We have (4 friends) played gold match and two of us had lv 1 (inf, sol) and We simply did well and finished the game. This idea is probably good, if some player joins the game, that already starteed though. Although you ment N7 rating.. it means nothing. There can be people who have lv 40 just because they use two classes and do not care about others. I have also met people with higher rank that played bad games.

I'm going to assume the level one infiltrators who did so well sat inside fbw+Geth. That combination doesn't rely on skill it relies on having nothing better to do in life but toil in the fields like the good little farmer you are.

Abusing a glitch is cheating, at least from my point of view. Well I don't see the point in cheating in
games. Stopped playing BF3, BFBC2 and any COD because of cheaters. Why
would someone abuse a glitch or use a cheat just to kill more in a team
based mp mod for a game, i just don't see why should someone do it. You don't even play
against people.

Out of curiosity, can a host throw out a player? I've a few games in which I was dropped at wave 11 and first rank.


P.S. I've developed this habit of not moving in waves 1 - 2 for bronze difficulty. As in, rushing off to engage the enemy. Why? Because the other 3 had already rushed off to stomp them down. In small maps; I don't see the point since the initial waves are usually tame and wiped out easily. I'd shoot whatever comes my way however.

For hacking and deactivating, I will move.   But if it's just plain clean up,; I usually assess the situation. If there are 1 - 2 strong players who're mowing everything down, I generally move off in the other direction or still stay in one spot on the other side of the map; because those enemies love to catch everyone's butts. Geth hunters and phantoms just like to sneak up on ppl.  I've had ppl shooting at me because they thought I wasn't participating / afk. I wasn't.

There needs to be a way to kick someone from a game that has already started, I am sick of trying to beat missions on gold and having some moron just set their controller down and do nothing, That is cheating, as I see it, because it is taking a spot on a team from someone who wants to participate, and help, and it is doing nothing to benefit the squad. So yeah, that is cheating, and why are all of these people defending the idea of cheating to get easy credits by saying, who does it hurt?? It hurts us players who are honest, and actually enjoy the game!!! If you cheat on this or any other game, your console should be banned, burned and destroyed!! Because you are not a real gamer by any means!!! You obviously have no morals, and are completely unaware of what your poor decisions do to the rest of the gaming community!! If you have to cheat to get ahead in a game, then maybe you don't need to play it!!! Go get yourself some gaming skills, put in a little bit of effort, it is much more satisfying!!! I can beat any map, any enemy, any difficulty, and I play LEGIT!!! Can you cheat your way to that?? NO!!! Grow up people, it is 2012!!! Stop ruining life for everyone else by being pathetic!!!

Agreed. People on this forum need to get educated- you don't have to ALTER the game to cheat. It's considered cheating if you abuse an existing glitch / bug that's in the game. Read the Terms of Service that you guys, and everybody else, agreed to.

Resets are something to be very careful with, though.

For me, N7 rating reset would be excellent. I have 1200+ N7 rating now as a result of promoting characters as soon as they reach level 20. Did it for single-player war assets. And i am not happy; i'd prefer my N7 rating to be about 300...400 tops, because i don't want everyone to know how much of a gamer i am. /blush

However, while reset would be good for you and me, it's not good for everyone. There are lots of people who want their N7 rating "as high as possible", and many of them did not cheat at all, just played the game, you know. Some of them made alot of effort and sacrifice (playing less-than-max-level characters). Reset would destroy the only sign of their effort - N7 rating. See, it's a question of whether people assign emotional value to that N7 number. Some do. So if at all possible, to avoid harm to innocents, reset should be avoided.

imho.

I know that feel. I prefer to bunker down and kill anything I see, rather than run around pointlessly. Only time I've seen people understand that line of thinking is the occasional gold match where we all just pick a place on the map that's easily defendable and shoot everything, only leaving for deactivating and hacking. Otherwise everything just comes to us.

But I don't think a host can kick a player in game, at least for now.

According to EA, exploiting a glitch is cheating.  Definition 5.  I'm not really sure any company would view glitch exploiting as not cheating...  While playing isn't an examination or test in the academic test, you can still argue it is a test of a player's skill, and that using a glitch is playing dishonestly by accessing areas that were never meant to get to breaking definition 6.  And seriously, you think that doing something that isn't suppose to be done is not acting dishonestly to break defintion 8 of the word cheat?

EA does not classify glitches as cheating.  That is categorically untrue.   Glitching = dishonesty? LOL HAHAHA.   Dishonesty is a game developer claiming to sell us a complete working procuct, and then giving us Mass Effect 3,  Bio/EA created the environment, NOT THE CONSUMER.  Stop getting down on consumers for using their product as they see fit.  EA will surely let them know if they are in violation of their user agreements.  Stop hating

EDIT.  O and I must have not recieved my "how to play mass effect online" manual, because this whole time I've only done what the game will let me.   Guess I might be a cheater too, because my vanguard glitches sometimes and I don't quit the game immieiately.  Now that I think of it, according to your logic everytime a hunter glitches and goes invincible I am cheating as well.  sh*t.

You may violate the Terms of Service if, as determined by EA in its sole discretion, you:

See, that's the great thing about "sole discretion". Since EA knows that cheating little word-prancers like you will try to define cheating in your own way, and try to say that EA has no right to accuse you of cheating- EVEN THOUGH they tell you the definition RIGHT THERE in black and white- they can say it's within their "sole discretion".

That way, they can use common sense and context clues to determine which bugs to actually ban people for, and which bugs NOT to ban them for.. And also which people to ban, such as the people who actually ABUSED the glitch ( doing it over and over ), and not the people who just stumbled into it once or twice.

Sorry.

Key word....ABUSE OR EXPLOIT.  Not exactly clearly defined now is it.   How is it abuse?  What exactly is being exploited?  Do you see now why EA is taking NO ACTION against these so called 'cheaters'?   There is a reason they used those two extreme words, because simply using or utilizing these imperfections is completely within reason.   There is no advantage being gained, since there is no actual competitive format to do so.  Therefore that line does not apply to these glitches and their use.   

Other key words  "at EA's sole discretion".   EA.   Not you , not johnny snitcher and not joe the whiner.   The words abuse and exploit are subjective in this context for a reason.   You are wrong.

Oh my god it's like you actually believe what you're saying.

Look. I don't know how to more clearly spell this out for you- if you don't believe me, you're just not going to believe me, and I'm going to laugh  that much harder when they actually do ban you, but- this is  against the rules. It is explained RIGHT THERE. People are abusing an obvious fault in the game to get around an  obviously intended system in the game. They are exploiting a bug-  something against the Terms of Service- to circumvent the time that  would be required to get the items in the game.

And whether you like to admit it or not, it IS cheating. The only other method of payment to get Packs besides credits is actual money- which many people on this forum have admitted to spending. A  player, if they were not abusing this glitch, may have spent money on  the packs instead. Do we know FOR SURE if they would? No. But now we'll never know, and EA/Bioware won't get their money, because they BROKE THE RULES and are gaining credits way too quickly.

And the rest of us players MAY have even gotten the repeating Character Cards removed from the Store by now, except that it's the ONLY thing keeping Cheaters from getting every weapon in the game. But again, we'll never know now, because people broke the rules.

I'm not going to argue this point with you any further. It is right  there and you still refuse to see it. If you want to go and abuse  bugs, go right ahead- but if I see people doing it, I will report them. That's what the report feature is for.
