How Do You Feel About Missile Glitchers And Bioware's Plans To Deal With Them?

I've read that it is ruining the game for some people, others don't seem to care. What are your thoughts?

I've played with 4.5 missile glitchers (the 0.5 stopped after a couple waves, maybe was just testing how to do it). 3 on FBWGG which I didn't mind too much as it's boring anyway. The other was on a UUG which annoyed me because I play that for the challenge. All in all It's not ruining the game for me, I just kick them/leave the lobby and move on.

They're banning people who repeatedly do it right? That's what I've been reading on BSN.

However given that there's a pseudo-economy going on with the micro-transactions and funding the new DLC, I understand why they need it to stop. Not sure I support banning - certainly we need to get rid of the worst offenders, but I feel a credit wipe or store reset would be sufficient for the worst cases. A temporary suspension would also work. I don't think people do it with malicious intent. They do it because they can and they aren't given a reason not to.

I've only seen it once... and it resulted in a partial extraction... I'm guessing it doesn't count them once they do whatever they do to get that glitch.
Nope, pretty sure whoever it was is just a terrible player.

So what if some random person uses the missile glitch to kill everyone and racks up 1000000 xp, while everyone else racks up 1 each. Evyerone gets the exact same amount xp no matter how much you earned. It's not like the glitcher gets something extra out of it.
Besides if Bioware cared they would have fixed before release date.

Other than the most egregious offenders, I really doubt it.
Instead they'll have us drink the koolaid of self-reporting and continuous lobby hopping to get away from the glitchers.
At this point I don't really care. If I see someone join my lobby with a Striker X, I just unequip everything and get ready for an easy, albeit boring, ride to 75k credits.

This is a cooperative game so I couldn't care less if you paid me a billion dollars, if it was competitive then I would care.

I'm not sure why you would even play the game if your idea of a good time is sitting there for 20 min while someone kills everything. Why not just watch Conan the Barbarian (the original of course) and save yourself the money

As for if the glitch bothers me.. Yes, very much so when gold becomes a cake walk and a missile glitcher kills 20 banshees in an obj. wave and closes my 60K lead in one round. That happened yesterday... I don't care about being outscored but once the player started using the glitch I literally couldn't kill anything. I sat next to him in the hack area while he demolished the enemies.. not fun for someone who plays for the challenge.
Also, not that I care since I'm N7 720 but the missile glitch gives people an easy means to inflate the leaderboards.

XP and credits are not the at the root of the issue, at least with some of us. It makes the game boring as all hell. Nothing fun about sitting there while someone kills everything in sight with no strategy. I will always leave when the glitch occurs. Some will stay and just get the credits, which is fine because being in one game does not face consequences, but it is just not worth it for me.
Edit: They probably didn't know about the glitch at release. And they are banning people for using the glitch, as well.

That would be a pretty sad manifest for a missle glitcher.

BioWare's current method is working out beautifully for me. I don't get banned, forfeit credits, or waste time searching for a new game whenever a glitcher ruins mine and laugh all the way to my next game knowing I had a hand in getting them banned afterward.

Formulate your thread more coherently people.
