Ban Them - Its a violation

 

Yeah, Maradona scored a goal with his hand. Argentina should be banned from ever playing in an event. I was caught speeding. I should be banned from driving, perhaps even from living in this town.

Yeah, but what if that kid's hand was possessed by a demon, though?


Then you cut it off and you replace it with a chainsaw. Simple as that. :P

It's a group mentality thing that has taken over. I saw an N7 level 2000 guy doing glitch, it's getting crazy. When even a veteran does it, it's out of control.

Everyone who continues to try and defend those who have abused exploits, I suggest you take a while and read over the Terms of Service which you have all agreed to upon the creation of your account and upon first connecting to the EA servers through ME3.  In case you're too lazy to read the entire thing, I went ahead and copied the relevant parts for you.  I was even nice enough to underline the important things regarding this topic, just in case you might conveniently not see them.

9. Termination of EA Services

EA
may terminate access to any online or mobile products and/or EA
Services (and/or any portion thereof) at any time by giving you notice
of such termination within the time period specified when you joined the
particular EA Service, or if no time period for notice of termination
was specified, then within thirty (30) days of the date such notice is
either (at EA’s discretion) provided to you via email or is posted on
the applicable product or EA Service or on
http://www.ea.com/2/service-updates.

EA may also terminate
access to EA Services for violation of this Terms of Service, if EA (in
its sole discretion) deems that your use of EA Services renders EA
Services less safe for others and/or minors or for illegal or improper
use of EA Services, Content, Entitlement, products, or EA's Intellectual
Property as determined by EA in its sole discretion.
  You may lose your
user name and persona as a result of  termination.  If you have more
than one (1) Account, EA may terminate all of your Accounts and all
related Entitlements.  In response to a violation of these Terms of
Service or any other agreement applicable to EA Services accessed by
you, EA may issue you a warning, suspend your Account, selectively
remove, revoke or garnish Entitlements at an Account and/or device
level, immediately terminate any and all Accounts that you have
established and/or temporarily or permanently ban your device and/or
machine from accessing all EA Services or certain EA Services.  You
acknowledge that in such an instance EA is not required to provide you
notice before taking action to suspend or terminate your Account,
temporarily or permanently banning your device from some or all EA
Services or selectively removing, revoking or garnishing Entitlements
associated with your Account.
  If EA terminates your Account, you may
not participate in an EA Service again without EA's express permission. 
EA reserves the right to refuse to keep Accounts for, and provide EA
Services to, any individual.  You may not allow individuals whose
Accounts have been terminated by EA to use your Account.

If your
Account, or a particular subscription for an EA Service associated with
your Account, is terminated, suspended and/or if any Entitlements are
selectively removed, revoked or garnished from your Account and/or if
your device is temporarily or permanently banned from accessing some or
all EA Services, no refund will be granted, no Entitlements will be
credited to you or converted to cash or other forms of reimbursement,
and you will have no further access to your Account or Entitlements
associated with your Account or the particular EA Service.  If you
believe that any action has been taken against your Account or device in
error, please contact Customer Support at help.ea.com, support.popcap.com (for PopCap products) or swtor.com/support (for Star Wars™: The Old Republic).

You
must also obey all federal, state, and local laws, regulations and
rules that apply to your activities when you use EA Services.  EA
reserves the right to terminate your Account and to prevent your use of
any and all EA Services if your Account is used to engage in illegal
activity or to violate this Terms of Service. 

Unless otherwise
specified, there is no requirement or expectation that EA will monitor

However, EA reserves the right to access and/or record any online
activity on EA Services and you give EA your express consent to access
and record your activities.  EA reserves the right to remove any content

your or any third party's violation of this Agreement.

If you
encounter another user who is violating any of the Rules of Conduct,
please report this activity to EA using the "Help" or "Report Abuse"
functions in the relevant EA Service, if available, or contact Customer
Support at help.ea.com, support.popcap.com (for PopCap products) or swtor.com/support (for Star Wars™: The Old Republic).

I think that banning won't solve the problem. It's rampant on 360 right now, I don't know about PS3 and it isn't possible to replicate on PC like it is on console. Due to the fact that most players don't frequent the forums, they won't ever know that they can be banned for repeated use of this glitch.


Don't know they can be banned?  Please, don't even use that excuse.


It's not an excuse. Many people who use this glitch honestly don't think that this will get them banned. They aren't modding there Xbox or hacking the files (Whatever you would like to say.). Banning won't fix this issue. New glitchers will just take their place and it will keep on spreading.

 

You have a good point.  Let **** Zombies be an example, the leader boards were topped from people getting out of the map.  People didn't ever get banned for exploiting that.  I'm sure plenty of players think it is similar for this game until...BANHAMMER OF DOOM!,,,,

I usually always include a scorecard of my game when I do encounter a missile glitches. It may not make a huge difference, but it gives me piece of mind

So there's no onus on the people who actually exploit the glitch?


It's similar to someone to finding a loophole in the law to get themselves off the hook. That hole was left there in the system, it wasn't noticed & know someone has found it to their benefit. It is upto the relevant authority to then plug that hole in the system so nobody else can exploit it.

It is the same here :mellow:


It's more like a burgular trying to get acquitted because he managed to enter a building via a window with a faulty latch or similar.

You SHOULD NOT be banned for this, you are NOT using any outside source to modify the game, it's the same thing as reload cancelling and reegar+flamer, sure this is a lot more serious, but the fact that they're banning people is stupid.

Exploiting bugs has ALWAYS been a bannable offense in every online multiplayer game I've seen. Just because you didn't use any outside hacks or modify the game yourself does NOT make you innocent; this isn't some new rule that Bioware pulled out of their back pocket.

The fact that people are DOING IT AT ALL is stupid. But I guess some people are just stupid.

I agree with the original poster. It's on BioWare to fix their game, not everyone else. I don't know this for sure, but some things I read on here say this "missile glitch" is not done with anything outside the game? As in there's no hacking, or modding, or whatever? So they're not even breaking any rules by doing it.

I don't buy the whole, "we're losing money" thing. I can't imagine that there are tons of people out there dumb enough to pay actual money for the chance (I could see it if people were paying say, 120pts for a Valiant or whatever... but not just the chance to get one) at getting some stupid gear. But, then again, maybe there ARE that many morons because it makes no sense to me why anyone would be pissed about a missile glitcher helping them get free credits in the first place... especially when it's the glitchers ass on the line, not theirs.

So they go play another game a week to return to use their X level weapons gotten via boosting credits with a cheat. Credits OR microtrans buy things so it's not just space money here as people spend real $$ to get stuff

Also, 2 things.
1) You are entitled to zero updates post purchase. You bought the shipping version of the game no matter which version you purchased. You agreed to the EULA of the shipping version and it is legally binding.
2) If BW wants to keep making money off of Xbox purchases they will have to fix this bug. Other glitches are annoying but nothing like the MG.

Everyone doing it should be banned AND Bioware should be fixing it, which is what is happening.

Don't go around making threads saying people shouldn't be punished  because Bioware hasn't fixed it yet; you're cheating, so you deserve the ban. In any game.

real money...to fund your virtual world...you are in the matrix? (...'woah')

what I meant was that banned glitchers have to pay EA for a new account, at which point they will either glitch again, or use the OTHER shortcut...pay for packs. possibly both, if they don't want to bother playing long enough to get a 'glitch' gun.

sure, some may go away forever. but I bet they're in the minority.
