It has been approximately one month since the release of the hakkon patch. As most of us know, it was after that patch when players started creating glitched lobbies where everyone in the said lobby would gain approximately four times the normal rate of exp. Below are some quotes from different people I play with on Xbox1 that do not post on the forums:

 

1. "I did not want to participate in the glitched lobbies at first but when I was grouped with someone who had 100 hours less playing time and higher stats than me I started joining the glitched lobbies too"

2. "If Bioware is not going to ban people over this glitch why shouldn't I take advantage of this"

3. "I quit because of the exp glitch. It cheapened everything I did" -formally ranked top ten player

4. "I stopped caring about the leaderboards. I can not keep up with the amount of people cheating"

5. "I can tell you right now the players actively participating in the glitched lobbies. I see them all the time in random pugs"

6. "I can't join a quick match without the lobby being bugged"

 

 

 

The quotes from the players leads me to post sections of EA's terms of service found in section 11 rules of conduct:

 

- Abuse or exploit bugs, undocumented features, design errors or problems in the game

 

- Promote, encourage or take part in any activity involving hacking, cracking, phishing, taking advantage of exploits or cheats and/or distribution of counterfeit software and/or virtual currency/items

 

-Use and communicate exploits and/or cheats

 

 

 

It is clear from EA's terms of service creating a glitched lobby, and participating in one (aka accessory to the exploit) directly violates the terms of service.

 

From my observations there are approximately twelve players on Xbox1's top twenty five who abuse the exp glitch regularly. Three of the players have gained approximately 210 promotions each over the last three weeks and are new to the top twenty five.

 

My point is the cheating is rampant on and off the leaderboards.  Players who want to play by the rules are quitting and are becoming frustrated at the lack of apparent fix and or punishment on Bioware's part.

 

In the end, I would like a reply from Bioware on what their vision of a correction is. Does Bioware's future vision of DAMP include allowing players to keep their glitched promotions? Will players creating the lobbies ever be banned? These are some questions I as a DA player would like to know because if the way I think a fix should happen and Bioware's implementation of the fix do not match, I can move on to another game sooner rather than later.

 

Lastly, I respect the amount of work and dedication Billy and the rest of his staff have put into DAMP. I know their plates are full and the exp bug is not the only thing they have to deal with. I think your staff has done a tremendous job at creating a multiplayer game that has kept a lot of people coming back. Kudos to you all.

We've been as transparent as you can get.

 

Exploiters will be investigated, banned if we deem necessary.

 

Leader boards will NOT be reset.

 

We are investigating fixes.

 

Can't really be any clearer.

Answer questions and still not good enough for some people.  We're done with this thread.
