Edit: The reality is that the gaming community should not be held accountable for Bioware's management of this issue.
That's the only valid point you've made in the entire thread.
And my counterpoint is the stats they boosted should be taken away. Beyond that I could care less what happens to the cheaters.
It's simply not right that these people are getting XP in 15 minutes that took the honorable, non-cheating players absolute hours of work.
Here's a better idea, why not just nuke the darn leaderboards to 0 so it doesn't alienate the newcomers when they see the bloated points that have been accrued.
Are you f_____g crazy?!
Someone would come to BW HQ and start shooting.
(But,that would be hilarious 
-LB reset,not this other thing)

So after 7 months of glitches, crashes, bugs and reload screens you want to take away even more XP?
And in so doing ruin the game for the majority and forcing DAMP into extinction?
I certainly hope not.
You can have my prestige though, it's completely worthless to me.
You are a brainless troglodyte. Good day sir.
And honestly it's sad to see dedicated leaderboard players rage quitting the game after so much seriously hard work to stay in the top 20 for so long.
If you bitter forum trolls would actually play a match with someone on the leaderboard you'd realize there is no reason to bicker about who has prestige and who doesn't, who has good weapons and who doesn't.
As long as you put a solid effort into the game, anyone deserves to be respected as a player, high prestige or not.

Wait what?? He is simply asking to take away the exp gained through glitches. How is that unfair? Bug age (mack_yoshi right?) And I has been playing simce game release. We lived through all of the bug and glitches. It affected everyone. I don't think it is okay for people to glitch, citing prior glitches as an excuse. Thats a terrible argument. Stop cheating to get ahead of others and trying to defend yourself. The majority of players do not cheat, it would not ruin the game for us. Not fixing the bug and not punishing cheaters would ruin the game for the majority.
You are offering up prestige since you dont care about it. You obviously care about the ill gotten stats though. That is like used steroids to get the home run record and got caugh: then offering up the games you won but asking to keep the records.
It is insulting for those of us who played since release to hear you guys using the trials we played through prior to justify using the glitch.
My analogy was bad, I admit. And to answer your question, I would be mad at the guy who sold it AND the guy who got 4 icecream. I want the extra icecream to be taken away. I would then complain to management and have the seller switch so this does not happen again. Hater going to hate, and I do hate cheaters.
If you didn't invest the time like us then you do not deserve the same rewards. It effects my gaming environment because I feel that the the time I have invested have somewhat been a waste.
I am angry at bioware for creating the bug and havent fixed it yet. I'm more angry at those of you who are promoting it's usage and defending your action and stance on the crude those of us who have been here since the beginning had to deal with much more than you ever did.
Sometimes I wonder if they should do a large scale rollback affecting EXP/promotions/prestige only, then make it up for all players with a 2x experience event or something.
And then giving some CON to everyone for those who cannot play during the compensation event or something. I doubt most players get that many promotions quickly, especially the newer players, but it can be frustrating for newer players to have their 2 points of Willpower taken away.
Thank you.
Still hope they roll back all the cheated exp tho.
But thank you for seeing it from my point of view.
People, people who need people are the luckeist people in the world. . .
Haven't done it yet but when I do, that will be my song.
This is all so twilight zone to me. I feel like everytime I log into the game now, EA & Bioware may have sought out the expertise of the NSA to track peoples progress in this game. A good gaming friend of mine asked me awhile back, before all this patched in 2x xp crap, if I was going to get a PS4 and join some others on ESO. Seeing how Bioware has let it be known that the PS3 version of DA:I MP has a short shelf life, thats not looking so bad.
I can count the number of reasons I've kept playing this game as long as I have on almost both hands.
Those reasons are people. Bioware is Bioware after all. I don't see them turning the water to wine. Besides, the honeymoon has long since past.
To clarify more. What happened with D3 was that blizzard did not stop hacking on the console. There was uproat on their forums as well, people would say that since they bought the game, they can do anything they want with it. The results was that blizzard never did anything. Hacking was so rampant that the community dwindled and died. It was a good game with much more content and dlcs, however the community died. No one cared anymore since the time they put in ment nothing.
Just an example, karnage, I don't mean to antagonize you since you seem very reasonale. Anyways, you said that u put 16 hrs in yesterday and got stats. What if I said someone just input a code into the game system(less than 10 seconds) and got all of the stats you worked over 16 hours for AND the hakkon bow? And then he came into your game and just one shot everything. I don't know about you but I would be very upset. If it was real life, I would come over and slap the icecream right out of that guy's hands.
And you would receive a nice punch in the jaw for doing so. I just got on Diablo 3 and found a non-modded lobby right away though I will agree it was a fair part of my leaving other than I had every legendary in the game by that point 
. I just feel the 2x exp while needing to be patched is something more akin to people duping gold and crafting materials in D3. It shortened the time they had to mindlessly grind items for money and crafting materials but it didn't make them instantly better or allow them to one-shot enemies like modded weapons did. If Bioware says or does nothing by the end of the stream this friday I worry anything will ever be done.
I have never had the opportunity to play with Leaderboard players due to many months of slogging it out with Aussie pugs in threatening.
You have played with someone on leaderboard....me (Twice lol), and it was great fun with you and Yumi. (double tbagging Yumi)
Pity you said your connection had you rubberbanding about though. I guess Australia to UK isn't great connection...
Join me anytime you want if you want to try connection again.
Good laughs.
Bearform, because you brought up Diablo 3, I would like to pass on my observations about that game.
It is true that people with "hacked" or "modded" gear could be found in "open to the public" games. I developed a friends list that would keep my gaming expeirence free from this exposure. Myself and my better half enjoyed several hours in games with friends I knew that didn't use hacked or modded gear. It was easy to spot that kind of gear. The same level of scrutiny can be applied to DAMP as well. Don't game with people you know or suspect are on the dole if it bothers you so. You have as much power in this game as I did in D3.
To be fair this game differs from D3 in some big ways. D3 had a trading system. DAMP does not. The gear in D3 could be modded thru hacking code. I don't think that has happened in DAMP. The way it can display HP numbers would be a dead give away.
Again, please forgive me, but we played the game for the pleasure of getting better gear with the friends on our list. We never even thoght about those that were hacking. It was mind over matter. We didn't mind because they didn't matter.
AHUH!!To clarify more. What happened with D3 was that blizzard did not stop hacking on the console.
