I think morally it is wrong to exploit a glitch & keep doing so,
I don't. I mean, it's just a game, and we're acting like this is some sort of crime against god and man. Not you specifically; I mean overall on the boards.
There are enough bullsh*t glitches in this game that work against you that I can't muster up much concern about a beneficial glitch. In one Gold match last night one of the guys had a Vanguard glitch half a minute into the first wave. So, for the entire rest of the match, we were a three man team on Gold. Our strategy was all but crippled, but we soldiered through it.
Until wave 10 when we got the escort mission. The drone falls through the goddamn map and there's nothing we can do to complete the mission. So all that effort we put in, working with only three guys, was a waste of my f*ckin' time.
I understand that glitches and bugs can be hard to track down. That understanding doesn't in any way ease the frustration felt when the game f*cks you over through events that are beyond your ability to control. I felt the same way about Skyrim's numerous glitches vs. the beneficial Oghma Infinium glitch.
However, I do look on people using the glitch as if they're kinda b*tch-assed. I don't cotton much to elitism in any game, but I can't help but feel that if you use the glitch to win a match, even Gold or whatever, then you're kind of a p*ssy. Like, you can't do what many of us have struggled hard to learn to be able to do.
I saw (and reported) some guy using the glitch on Silver. It's Silver, bro. We can win this without using any missiles whatsoever. Come on, son. At the time, it pissed me off that he was using the glitch. But in retrospect, I don't know why I was so pissed. Nothing he did helped or hindered me. Hell, the only reason I left the lobby after the match was because BW employs fallacious logic to assign guilt by association.
Most people here don't seem to realize this is flawed reasoning (it's an actual logical fallacy that anyone can look up and confirm), worst of all, BW themselves.
I think both the exploiters and BW share the blame for this problem. But it's hardly a moral issue. I mean, it ain't like it makes baby Jesus cry. And if we're being honest, Jesus used the ultimate cheat codes to turn water into wine. How's that fair? I gotta BUY wine. Sh*t, I gotta buy water, for that matter.
But as you said earlier, no matter how difficult it might be to fix the glitch, I think that should take priority over banning. A lot of people assume that it's simple common sense to know that use of this exploit is a bannable offense. Those people are probably making the assumption that common sense is actually common. Anyone who's ever driven in rush hour traffic should know better than that. Every day of my life I see people do stupid sh*t they shouldn't on a regular goddamn basis.
Should be common sense that driving the speed limit is safer for everyone on the road. People still do it. I bet some of the people in this thread talking about common sense do it.
No matter how many people get banned, this problem continues to proliferate. I'm hearing about encounters with missile glitcher more and more from my friends. Even as recently as two weeks ago, none of them even knew what it was, because they don't frequent the boards.
I would imagine that the majority of people using the glitch also do not frequent the message boards. I shouldn't think it would be too difficult for BW to post a weekly reminder to at least explain to people the consequences of using the glitch. Just like they do with weekend objectives or DLC announcements. You log onto the EA servers to play, and a screen pops up once a week, or once every two week (whatever) telling you you're a d*ck if you use the glitch, and BW could cut you off. Or something to that effect.
If people continue to use it after that, f*ck 'em. They had a reasonable and easily accessible warning. That's also probably easier than fixing the glitch...
