It is questionable if EA is losing money- that's the point. They are losing potential profits. Would the people who used the credit glitch ever spend money on packs? We don't know. But we'll never find out, because they cheated. Either way, that's EA/Bioware's call to make; their profits, anyway.
Oh come on. No one actually pays money for credits. I've never even understood why that was an option. Who'd be stupid enough to waste money on something that can be earned with minimal effort especially when that's pretty much the incentive to play the game because other than leveling up/unlocking stuff, there's no leader boards or stats or anything competitive about ME3 MP at all. It's fun, yes, and that's really the only reason left to play it for a lot of us. Having to get credits for leveling and such is something that keeps the replay value going a little longer. If there ARE people who would be silly enough to spend actual money on in-game credits, it can't possibly be enough to be worth the man-hours that go into tracking people down and getting rid of them.
Then again, with the DEFINITE loss of profits that will result from how terrible ME3 SP was and how many people, like myself, will probably never buy another BioWare game again, I guess they're pretty desperate to get whatever they can however they can. I still think it's ridiculously stupid that you even have the option to buy credits for real money.
As for who's upset- apparently, a lot of people. All you had to do was look at any of RANDOMvGRENADE's threads in one of the past few days, and you'd be able to see that many, many people didn't like other people cheating to get items faster.
People had their own reasons. Me- I don't like it, because I just don't like people breaking the rules or violating the contracts that they explicitly agreed to. Some people don't like it because they don't break the rules, even though we all easily could, and so they expect punishment on those who do; it really isn't fair to the rest who aren't willing to take the risk. And some people didn't like it because they 'd get dropped into rooms with people abusing the Credit Exploit and then get cussed out for actually playing the game right and not dying when the other 3 players wanted them to.
Rules are there for a reason- and just as, if not more importantly- are enforced for a reason. If you want to argue against the rule itself, that's your business, and you should take it up with the staff.. But if you're going to argue that people shouldn't report other people for breaking the rule, you're barking up the wrong tree.
I really, REALLY hope these aren't the other "reasons" you were talking about for this particular case of cheating to be bad. The top chunk is SOMEWHAT valid, albiet very comical, but this is ridiculous. I guess this is a great way to figure out who had issues with the whole concept of sharing as little kids. You're playing with people you don't know, and they're cheating to acquire an advantage (which HELPS you, by the way) that can be achieved to the EXACT SAME DEGREE through playing the game a lot depending on how lucky you are. So why should anyone care HOW this is being done? You're upset because rather than spend their entire day playing to "earn" their unlocks, they might have gone outside and had some human interaction? So then it's jealousy? Or the more ridiculous reason of "I could do that, too, but I don't, so someone should come and ban them to validate me having a vagina and not wanting to take the risk myself". And to say it's not fair is just stupid. How is it not fair? Not fair for the lifeless AI? Not fair for the person who put way too much time into the game to get the same thing that someone obtained in 10 minutes? The latter would be a very petty thing to **** about.
This whole thing is hilarious to me. The quality of life that you all must have to be so passionate about something that is so insignificant is staggering. If people were using god mode or hacking their weapons to just wipe out everything all at once or doing some other thing to step outside of the boundaries of the game's rules then I could understand the complaints. If there was a leaderboard where you could see how you're doing vs everyone else then I could understand the complaints. But, as it stands, there's absolutely NO reason for anyone to be upset about this. But please, continue. I'm getting a good laugh at all of this. It was well worth the reading.
