Can you honestly tell me that if you saw an ATM spitting out 20s you would ignore it?
EDIT
On top of that if there were such a bug can you honestly tell me a bank would leave it alone for six months and just tell its customers to pretend it isnt there
Well...if I picked up those 20s, it'd probably be a good idea for me to return them. Because ATMs usually have cameras around, and its pretty obvious that those 20s are not mine.
Maybe you'd like to take a chance at jail time for a few hundred $...but not me.
Never said i would pick them up. Just that I wouldnt ignore it. I would report it and you have to admit there are those that would take the money without a second thought. Besides cameras have a hard time seeing through scarves and were comparing taking money to playing a game. Lets get back on topic
As long as you enjoy the game it shoudnt matter how you play it. You payed for it after all and thats what you were given bugs and all. You can ignore the bugs or exploit them but saying you cant use them is like saying you arnt alowed to play in any difficulty other than insanity because setting the difficulty lower is chating (actual quote from a friend of mine who belives playing a game on anything less than the hardest difficulty is blasphemy )
Anyway im rambling so ill get to the point
The exploits are part of the game and making these big announcments is like pointing a big shiny light at that ATM and shouting to the community LOOK HERE YOU CAN GET FREE MONEY IF YOU WANT BUT DONT TUCH IT BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE NAUGHTY
It's a moot point. Bioware has set conditions on what is cheating and what isn't. Continuing to do something you know can get you banned is not going to garner much sympathy from most people.
.... and that sir is where the problem lies. BW is setting misinformed conditions. Developers make the game. QA's test out the bugs. Designers... never know what the h*ll they are talking about. Sales Reps lie. Tech Pubs takes forever to come up with an original thought. Supprt Reps are cannon fodder. Project managers screw up the whole process for the sake of money (and actually believe that their decisions are the best for the product). This is the SDLC (System Development Life Cycle).
You don't BAN someone for a game glitch unless the glitch is not fixable and has been publicly advertised as such. Temp-bans, profile purge, items taken... yes. Perma-ban for a glitch created by the development, missed by QA and released to the public is excessive. It shouldn't matter if the bug existed in SP or MP. There are plenty of bugs that existed in SPs for 1, 2 and 3 that allowed players to make the game advantageous to themselves. Did BW fix those bugs, no.
When you log onto a MP server you are expected to play within the normal parameters of the game. If not, you're punished for it. In that same respect, we as players have paid for a service that we expect to work. Players are holding up their end... BW why aren't you? Fix the glitches. Thank you
