The number of expletives that almost shot out of my finger at the shock of 7 pages of this appearing after 1:00 was astounding. I'm not angry at anyone, but how did it get this far? How did it come to this? I want to know.


BECAUSE IT IS TEARING THIS COMMUNITY APART!!!!!!!!  This the point of my post.   If they aren't going to fix it people should at least understand as much as they can about it so we can avoid all the "kneejerk" reactions we've seen thus far.


Be honest, it has been your posts that have caused the bulk of the problem today. Anyone can go back to them and see this.


No it was the sinister attitudes of people like you that ruined this community(It sucks anyway, I mean MP in Mass effect? GTFO), hatin on stuff that has no impact on you.

It is called CREDIT glitching for a reason, buddy. No one cares about exp, it is all about the CREDITS.  Your post is either a poor attempt to save yourself a ban, or some weird form of trolling.

Bioware begs to differ with you...once again. since it is thier game , that pretty much makes you the one legged man in the arse kicking contest here.

This has been addressed by bioware and still you continue, I am not the one who is hating here.

If this was called the XP glitch, you might have a valid point. It's not though. It's called the credit glitch. This is like if thers was a glitch to get you infinite credits in SWTOR and you said it's not an exploit because it doesn't level you up. It's stupid.

- Nobody cares about experience from gold matches.
- They don't glitch credits to get their N7 rank high, it's obviously to get weapons up quicker.
- No sane person gives a damn about N7 rating.

I also don't see what the title is about. What "truth" about cheating? Cheating is cheating. I hope every credit glitcher gets every single one of their unlocks and credits removed. And well, let them buy a new online pass if they keep doing it. PC players too.

I love how your logic is 'they get 4 times the credits of good gold players, but the same EXP, therefore it is fine.'

You credit glitch yourself, right? There is no way anyone would post what you did otherwise.

Why care about better weapons? Why care about a virtual world? Why care? Why do you care?

LOL at how many people have reported me for cheating.   My account has been vetted.  I do not cheat.  Disproved AS I AM STILL HERE.  Having an opinion on a matter does not require that you participate in said matter, and trying to defame the person you are debating is not debating at all, it's flaming and The Moderators have explicitly warned against that in this very thread.   Accusing someone of cheating with no proof is defamation and a violation of forum policy

The hell?

Whether credits are arbitrary or not is not the point, the point is for everyone who does the glitch is to attain new or higher level weapons. For a very small amount of people who use this glitch the xp matters. But the numbers are going to be overwhelmingly in favor of *doin it for da credits*

For that small amount of people your math and conclusions make sense, for the vast majority - not even close.

I believe vast majority to be on overstatement.  Unless of course some actual glitchers would like to get on here and let us know why they do it, IT IS SPECULATION.   The only universal method of guaging any player against another player is N7, since not every gamer has a BSN account/player manifest.   So unless they are willing to step forward and say they do it for the credits, the only way it's an exploit is if they are improving their n7 with said credits.  

Therefore, unless the glitchers come forward with their intents, it is reasonable to assume they do it ultimately for the xp.

Good morning,

I love me a good cup o' BSN before I turn on TSN in the morning and I just want to make this very clear:

Credit exploitation via host migration is considered cheating.

Please keep this thread on topic and stay away from any personal insults/jabs, flame baiting and trolling.

I'll be lurking :ph34r:


Why did you make it a feature if you consider it "cheating"?


It not a feature. Its an error in coding that wasnt caught during production. Can it be fixed? Yes! The problem is sorting through billions of codes just to find this 1 particular thread thats causing it. It takes alot of time. Just because things like the credit glitch are found does that mean you should abuse it. No!  You think Infinity Ward intentionally put the damage glitch in MW3. Or EA putting areas on the maps in BF3 where you can get into walls and kill people without getting killed. How about when Bungie had kid using action replay to mod on Halo 2. Oh wait you think all these are ok. Its cheating because all those extra character cards that your unlocking from your UNEARNED credits are boosting your N7 rank therefore taking away legit players spot on the leaderboard. If I had it my way I would perma-ban your IP from the Mass Effect servers so you just couldnt play online anymore. Get rid of the cheaters and everybody gets to have an enjoyable gaming session.

This. In fact I am so sure it's full to the brim with stupid that I can't bring myself to read the entirety of it knowing full well I may come out a bit dumber for having dredged myself through that much dumbness. Because in reality when the stupid is so thick you have to wear wadders just to slog through it you know you should just pack up and leave and that's what I'ma goin ta do... oh **** it's already happenin I'm becumin a rednek HALP!

Yes, that's an extremely reasonable viewpoint with a stretch.  You are presenting a viewpoint that i believe to be disingenuous if you believe most are doing it for the xp.  In the times I have seen people plan for it, they are always excited about how many credits they can earn.  

Your statement appears to be that since N7 is the only measurable metric, and we cannot prove they are doing it for the credits, they are thus doing it for the xp, which is what allows them to raise the measurable metric.  This is the part i believe to be disingenuous.

I will agree that it is speculation on why they do it, however it has been addressed as cheating.  Some people do not like cheaters.  Personally, I just choose not to engage in the credit glitch but I have no problem with anyone else doing so as long as I am aware that is their intent.  That way, I can leave and allow them to play with like minded individuals with similiar goals.

Let me just soak in your ability to disagree with class.  Ahhhhhhh....!    Thank you.

The OP is purely informational.   It was never meant to establish a motive for these actions.  Simply a mathematical breakdown, so that players have a reference.

Just because you care about N7 rank doesn't mean everybody else does. Sure, I've met people who do care about the XP, but they were far in between the guys who are only in it for the credits. Me and my friends only do gold runs for the credits, as I believe most others do too. They want to bigger and better guns so they can show them off or just have more fun using them. I played with a guy once who did the credit glitch, and he was proud that he did it, for the credits. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out that they just want credits.

Keep it on topic, I've been very passive with bans so far in this thread and those associate with the same topic. No longer.

Any personal jabs,at all, by anyone will result in a vacation from BSN.


I would recommend just locking this thread, I argued with this guy in other posts, he can't be reasoned with and is clearly just ban bait, you cannot have a conversation with someone like this without resulting to ad hom attacks, it's pretty much impossible.

If someone doesn't value reason, what reason can you present to them to convince them they should?

You continue to reference moderators as though their on your side. Warnings have been given. Numerous times. To YOU namely. And as i said before you can crunch numbers all day long you do not decide what is and is not an exploitation of the system and game bioware has spoken. The credit glitch IS a glitch/exploit and is (fairly i might add) a bannable offense. ^_^

Here's the problem:

In the program, the field that marks the next wave isn't reset until the next wave actually begins. This allows for a wave 10 credit completion/wipe and a restart before wave 1 begins on the next match, thereby starting at wave 10 over and over.

The fix:

The field that marks the next wave is set at the end of the previous wave. Also, if the mission is ever failed. The wave automatically resets to 1 immediately.

This thread is not about the validity of the exploit.  It is a breakdown of the math.  Some in the community are attempting to warp the soul of it, but the fact remains.  This thread is not a debate about whether it's against TOS, it has "glitch" in the title for chr*sts sake.   IT IS AN INFORMATIONAL POST.  Not a query about the morality or legitimacy of the glitch.  I state that very clearly in the OP.   People who don't glitch have a RIGHT to know what they are up against, and that is all the post states.  The math.  Please stay on topic.
